An anonymous reader solved the MAC vehicle mystery [above] the other day.
Its the MACKIE 3 from Ultraman.
The toy set above I saw today on Yahoo Japan could well be the toy I posted recently, except its blue rather than being white.
The model version of the vehicle is very distinctive as you can see over at Mandarake.
I know next to nothing about Ultraman or how Mackie 3 slotted into the story but there's an Andersonesque element to this spaceship I'm sure.
Ultraman is a saga six decades in the making and still evolving to this day.If you like action,futuristic vehicles,robots,giant monsters and hi tech weapons,then any episode of Ultraman is for you.Theres no overly complex storyline,its just good guys vs.bad guys.And while the quality of special fx may vary,you can pretty much jump in at any era and just enjoy,although my personal opinion would be to start with the original 1966 series.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bri. That's very helpful. For some reason, other than Marne Boy, japanese stuff just passed me by as a kid.
