I love reading about these

I personally think these foreign jumbos are fascinating. I wonder what the story behind them being made seperately in all these different countries is?

That CDX features such strange toys as these is--I think--a large credit to the site.

Bloodhound!

Bloodhound! Nekrodave, thanks for keeping the chronicle of your hunts posted for us. The discovery of that hackjob is funny. We get to see you gain momentum as you slide down the slope(or are you reaching the summit?). =0)

Packaging?

Oh, I forgot to ask, have you uncovered any info on the boxes, or tags/header cards of these toys when new?
As you mentioned the sticker peeling, it's hard to tell from the pics, but the plastic looks relatively ungouged?

bootleg packaging

Sorry, I've no idea how, or if, these toys were packaged. Naturally, if they came in boxes, I'd kill my own grandmother to get one, though! LOL And yeah, there's plenty of scuffs and scratches on these guys. Gouged may be too strong a word, but they sure aren't mint.. ;)

Ok, so I just got back from

Ok, so I just got back from the corner store. I decided to take a look to see if they had any of those cheap guns that might have missiles that could fit these toys. Well, lo and behold, not only did they, but they had the EXACT SAME GUN that was originally used inside these things. Of course, it's a newer version molded in different colors, but it's the exact same mold. So, now I have missiles for both my Dangards and yes, this jumbo shoots suction cups! And shoots them far, like 30 feet or more..

Dangard Number 8

I've been slacking on uploading a picture of this guy, but here it is for those interested. My eighth Dangard Ace Jumbo. Another from Peru with shooting suction cups, this time yellow, blue and stickerless.

Incidentally, I need to keep my eyes peeled for more of those guns. Stupidly, I only bought the one package which leave me one missile short for this new guy. And now they don't seem to be carrying them at that store anymore.
