Hi Woodsy
I have been on a Rabbit Panda craze.
The car is from Ultraman Taro. It was built from a HONDA Vamos.
This is a model of a Vamos by Nichimo.
This baby rider below is Takatoku. My girlfriend helped me restore the missing decals.
My group shot below is
Top row left to right: : Bullmark wind up, Imai wind up model kit,
Bottom row left to right: Grip, Bandai wind up, Takemi (chrome one)
Funny story about the little chrome Takemi one [above far right]
These are from a series of vehicles from Ultraman Taro that were sold individually with a launcher.
The Big Base set comes with all of them, but is very pricey.
I noticed a few boxed individuals turned up on Yahoo Japan but one had the launcher flipped in the box window so I couldn't tell the contents.
So I went for it. Once I received, I opened it up and lo and behold it was the Rabbit Panda!
I also have a Marusan kit (unbuilt), the Takemi big friction (I'll send a pic!) and an unopened Grip "Bemurida" vehicle, which has a tiny Rabbit Panda inside it.

Ok, I know that Ultraman is like grand-grandfather of all Japnaese tv series
ReplyDeleteBut those designs are hmm... they look tacky
ha ha, I like them Ran! I know what you mean, they look like a clown's car but somehow it works for me! A bit like the comical look of the Mini Moke from my childhood in the Sixties.
