These are some toys that I always included in my Microverse.
Enjoy!

(1) above, I know you are familiar with Zee toys Metal Man, so here's a group shot.
2) above, a pair of Henshin Cyborgs, I think they are 1990's remakes. All I know is they are translucent and look like foot tall Micronauts
(3) above, this yellow figure with his transforming 5 wheel vehicle is from a Japanese show that I forget the name of. It definitely looks good with Micronauts
(4) Mattel Shogun Warriors are based on Japanese manga characters. This 4 inch Mazinga and ....
(5) this enormous Raideen,which has 2 right hands,are both welcome additions to my Micronaut Metropolis
What have you got?
Metal Men! another favourite! Shogun Warriors were hellishly expensive in the uk, Mattel did a very limited release of 3" figures and a giant Combatra (?) like Raideen. I scored some of the Monogram kits which were nice too.
ReplyDeleteThe Metal men were sold as a set in one of our big catalogue companies, either Sears or JC Penney.Funny thing, that recharge capsule at the back of the photo,used to be blue and now it has turned green!Never saw plastic do that before!
ReplyDeleteYour yellow figure is called Gold-Platinum and is from the series Blue SWAT.
ReplyDeleteYep, that is Alien from Blue SWAT
DeleteNot sure if it got English version
Thanks guys.My closest guess was Space Sherrifs but I knew that wasn't right
DeleteAll of those are from "metal heroes" series of Tokusatsu. I am more into Kamen Rider but my friend "feeds" me everyday with knowledge of all those Japanese live action series.
DeleteYou seem to have a very wide knowledge of Japanese toys Ran as do fellow readers Brian, Lance and Bill B. I'm learniing!
DeleteI am really into older Japanese tv series, games, toys and figures. Not "super pro fan" but I know a bit
