#Robot Toys

Early 1960s Sears catalog toy page.

Considering that $10.00 back in 1963 was worth about $101.00 in today's economy, these puppies were not cheap. And that's before you added in the cost of the batteries, which were never included back then.

Still, Garloo at Sears is a heck of a lot cheaper than advertised on TV:

My latest project, family of AT-AT robots. It's kind of like having a family of robot puppies around.

Mazinger Z - Version B

- from Mazinger Z

  Banpresto Internal Structure

- by Banpresto

Quick Shot

I originally featured this $20usd Banpresto gem in the early days of the page. It's been a mainstay in my collection display ever since.

I even managed to fix the leaning issue (with repeated heat treatments, some finesse, and a little glue)

It's such a handsome piece. Beautiful little sculpt for a toy that's intended to be a claw game prize in Japan.

And a particularly vital artifact for me, because early US broadcasts of Mazinger Z (as Tranzor Z here) are why I'm so fascinated by internal mechanical shots and cutaways of robots.

Remember that cute robot a while back? Well I found this guy in my room, I thought I had given him away but here we are.

He is a bit different from the other bot I took a photo of.

Thinking about this weird bootleg Disney Goofy headed Poo-chi or Tekno Dog like Robo Dog toy. I wonder what company this is from?

My LDR Bf found this while thrifting.

I kind of want to research it to find more info.

The image is not mine but he didn't mind me sharing it here.

So Macross 7 is not the most popular and I think the hate is well deserved. I did finally finish it for the first time and must have just been in the right mindset that I actually enjoyed it.

I still think Basara is a jackass

I'm glad Mylene didn't pick anyone

Honestly despite all the weird and ridiculous things in Macross 7 I think my single biggest complaint was how the mecha/military were essentially ineffective. Only the power of singing had any real effect on the enemy. Most other Macross entries I feel like they go hand in hand. The military might be able to hold their own but the singing gives em the edge to win, that was absent in Macross 7.

I enjoyed it enough that I picked up this old chunky VF-17D!

Gamlin was easily my favorite character and I think the best character in the series. So much like the YF-29 I purchased, I'm not actually in love with the design the way I am the VF-1 or VF-25, but I like the pilot enough I wanted their plane.

People knock the old bandai (and takatoku) style toys for being too chunky/not accurate enough but I am honestly having so much more fun flying this around my apartment than my DX Chogokin line. (which I still need to post pics of)

Is it chunky, lacking detail and articulation? Absolutely...

But is it also durable/made to played with, and easy to transform? Hell yes.

It's just fun. The DX or Arcadia/Yamato might be very well executed and detailed and nice to look at, but I feel like looking at em is enough to break em.

I think there's a place for both styles and would love Bandai to release something that fits between these 2 lines (no not the hi metal r, fucking hate those)

ReAction Mirage

- from Transformers

- by Super7

Quick Shot

A very quick one for today.

A beautifully simple little figure of a classic Transformers/Diaclone design.

I wish Super7 was able to do more with this license, because these classic boxy robot designs lend themselves to all kinds of wild colorways. But I get it, Hasbro is very strict with this property.

But that's okay, because this is a wonderful toy. Classic and sleek with great colors.
