I was shopping around for dairugger/vehicle voltron toys & discovered this odd one that came with a toy pistol & was wondering if anyone have any info on it? I've tried searching around & found nothing but the same listing i took the photos from.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us Toys coming from Bandai: http://www.poeghostal.com/2010/06/thundercats-toys-coming-from-bandai.html It looks like it's going to look more like a Japanese property.

Aqueous Macross Color Set 3 Destroid Defender. Aqueous Macross Color box in comparison to 1/72 Defender kit box. The 1/72 Defender was actually my first ever Macross kit, so the paint set makes a nice companion piece.© Ray "AcroRay" Miller

Aqueous Macross Color Set 3 Destroid Defender. The three little jars seem like they would barely have enough paint for the job. Oddly enough, each jar has no label or unique marking. You get a sheet of them to apply yourself - 1, 2 & 3. Hopefully you're not color-blind! My sample's base medium had migrated out of the lid of each jar, collecting like dried amber inside the box. One jar is actually tightly glued into the box.© Ray "AcroRay" Miller

Aqueous Macross Color Set 3 Destroid Defender. Vintage water-based acrylic paint set for Imai & Arii Destroid Defender kits. I had wondered about these sets for a long time, so I bought a dried-up but unused set cheaply via eBay.© Ray "AcroRay" Miller

My recent buildup of Arii's "Metalize Custom" 1/100 Destroid Spartan kit. A rubbing with a #2 pencil against the cut-off gate points touched up the lack of chrome in those spots. -

Recent case-fresh (!) purchase - Harmony Gold edition of Matchbox Nosjadeul-Ger toy: "Quadrono Batallion" - female Zentraedi, I guess based on the name given to female armor in the Robotech adaptation,since Matchbox didn't make a Q-Rau toy. These aren't so bad, really. They were actually designed & originally tooled-up by a Japanese company. The rendering reminds me a lot of Clover's last few Dunbine toys. The colors of this edition differ a bit from the earlier Matchbox edition, and the later ExoSquad edition.© Ray "AcroRay" Miller

They don't fit well to the compound curves in many surfaces on the toy. But the joints are nice & tight.© Ray "AcroRay" Miller

Vintage kit from Arii's "Metalize" sub-line. These are a unique challenge to build! -

Instructions from a recent score - 1/72 "Iron" series metalized Imai Battroid kit. These were pretty difficult to get back in the 80s. Even though the kit is missing a tiny joint piece, I'm pretty happy with the acquisition! I do intend to build it. -

Two 'presskit' photos that Revell used to promote "Orbot", their Robotech kit series redeco/repackage of the Imai 1/72 Variable VF-1D kit. These would be sent to hobby media publishers, provided to sales people and mail-order companies, and used at trade shows. -

A nice example of the beautiful box art Arii created for their kits. -

Haven't decided if I'll build this or not. The base kit is terrible. I've got two other Metalize kits that I WILL build, but I didn't much like this design to begin with.... -

Gerwalk it I recently bought very cheaply from the generous owner of Cosmic Connection, from some of the leftovers from his 1980s mail order company. This is "The Last Gerwalk At Cosmic Connection"... -

This catalog from the 1980s is from Cosmic Connection - the folks who I got so many Macross & other kits from 'back in the day'. -
