This beautiful set of Morinaga premiums was on auction recently. It was dear, too dear for me, but it is a gorgeous and pristine group.
I've owned the little blue Zero-X for about 15 years now. It came in a small Morinaga candy carton. Mine's built up and I did enjoy photographing it at the time, probably the most detailed of all the Zero-X miniatures available.
As with most vintage bits of Andersonalia like this I first came across it in Dennis Nicholson's brilliant book on collecting Gerry Anderson toys back in 1996, in which the Morinagas feature and included small, albeit black and white, photos but photos of these treasures nonetheless.
Do you own any Morinagas readers?
Lovely indeed! Do I infer that this is Dennis' collection, up for sale?
