Hola everyone!

Firstly, I would like to apologize for being away for so long. Between work and my passion for another anime (Candy Candy), I couldn't keep in touch.

But now, I'm back and I would like to share with you all some of my recent purchases.... real treasures!

Hope everyone is fine and I will try to be here as often as our daily tasks allow me to do so.

Hugs to you all
Adriana

Hola!

Those ones are a bit difficult to get, especially so pristine! I believe they were launched for Gatchaman II because Ken got his disc and Jun the ribbon. Glad you liked them

The site's been having problems lately. Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon. If that happens, you can check in here:

http://z7.invisionfree.com/Crescent_Temp...&#entry22192476

It's our "temporary base" whenever this site has gone down. (It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen.) Of course, you'll have to register there, but that's easy to do.

Hi all!

Yes, those were released while Gatchaman II was airing. In January of 1979, to be more specific. Here's a larger picture just of that Feather Shuriken set.

 

Of the kid-sized dress-and-play accessories Popy released, the Bird Saucer, the Feather Shuriken, and the Aurora Ribbon are actually relatively easy to find, and are usually found still sealed in their blister packs. They apparently made quite a few of them. Here's a picture of the back of the backing card, which advertised the other weapon sets.

 

The rest of the Gatchaman II dress-up items are more difficult to find. These included the electronic "Transformation Belt," which you can see the boy wearing on the backing card pictures. The buckle on this belt had a light that would rotate and flash when you flicked the switch, presumably while yelling "Bird Go!" This came out in November of 1978.

Then there was an electronic toy of their Sonic Gun (Which the toy calls a "Freezer Gun"), which made noise and had a flashing light in the barrel. This was released in December of 1978.

There was also a vinyl cape, and a fairly durable plastic helmet, both of which came out in March of 1979. You can see the boy wearing both of these on the backing card as well.

The belt, gun, cape, and helmet don't turn up for sale all that often, and are usually fairly pricey when they do, but they would have been great for a kid who really wanted to get into character while playing Gatchaman!

And, before you ask, Popy did not make a toy of the Rebound Ball or the Gripper. The only other kid-sized accessory they released was the Gatchaman Fencer from Gatchaman Fighter.

Hola James!

Thank you so much for the complete info on the toys! Wow! It seems that getting the belt and helmet would be difficult. I've seen them in Japanese auctions and the prices are crazy! Up to 200 USD for one belt (not even a complete one). Guess I have to be happy with the ones I have. Do you have a photo from the Fencer? I've never seen one....

Have a great week!

Hi all!

Here's a couple of photos of the Gatchaman Fencer:

 

 

It runs 26 1/2 inches/66.5 cm long, with a solid plastic hilt and a softer plastic blade.

This proved to be a very difficult toy to find. I knew it was supposed to exist because it was listed in a Gatchaman Fighter book published in 1980, but I never actually saw one outside of the toy catalog pictures reprinted in that book until this one turned up for sale last August. It has definitely seen better days, with the silver covering over the gray plastic blade having worn off in many parts and the sticker on the handle of the hilt all but obliterated. But, since I had been searching for one of these for 35 years, I certainly wasn't going to quibble over things like that!

During the latter part of the 1990s, there was a toy similar to this one released in South Korea, and that turns up on eBay every so often. However, this is the only example of the Japanese toy that I've ever seen.

Now watched them start turning up by the boatload...

James
