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.

Who knows Mazinger Z?! Who knows what “oppai” means? If you’re Aphrodite A, you know both! Get acquainted with the (sometimes very weird) Japanese 70s robot classic who became a hero to millions of kids across the globe!

There’s a special edition Koji Kabuto paper doll available only through Kazuhiro Ochi’s exhibition right now and I’m so upset. I want one so bad!
