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.
