One cycle ends and, sadly, another continues....

A transitional toy for me.

I had sat on this kit for many years as it was filed away in my “Sci-Fi: Other” bin and I would simply forget that I owned it. I had worked on it off and on over the years but in the last few months I had made it a priority to finish the kit for CollectionDX so I can be ready to build the new Fine Mold’s 1/48 T-47 kit when it is released later next year.

I have always had a soft spot for Hayao Miyazaki's Future Boy Conan and due to the availability of once rare Japanese items now available through the Internet it was great to finally discover and own some great and original Conan items.

Muteking? Saizance? Doesn’t ring any bells??? Well, me too… It’s a shame though, because the anime gave Popy license to produce one of the coolest and uniquely designed toys…

General Monster was the main bad guy in New Kamen Rider (aka Skyrider). I really am not a big Kamen Rider fan, but I picked up this guy because his name is GENERAL MONSTER.

I have always loved the vintage style Kenner Star Wars action figures. The simple sculpts, the neutral poses – they are embedded in my brain. I had always wondered how cool it would have been to have other characters from other series done up in the same fashion.

It appears that the Japanese toy scene still has some surprises left in it after all

The Tryder G7 Ride-On Combination Set is one of only three jumbos to have been produced by Clover......

A glorious metal god amongst common robots. He was the Clover Tryder G7 Bird attack.
