Goth Kitty 22 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I must say that my interests in Japanese toys really took off when I took a trip to Thailand in 1995. It was my first introduction to so many of these imports. I also realized that sentai toys underwent many changes before being sent over to the US. Ah, the stories I could tell. Anyway, there's this one particular toy that I found fascinating but can't remember anymore. I've been digging around Zinc Panic for a few months but have come up empty handed. And I don't see any links pointing to a dedicated mecha forum. The toy came in two versions, a larger box and smaller and simpler transformation version. The alternate mode was shuttle-like, possibly delta shaped. The body was black and had purple fins. I think it had Eva-01 colors. This was around 1995 but unlikely older than 1990. It had a Gundam X flavor. Knowing the wealth of toys that are produced in Japan, it's possible that whole toy lines have flown under the radar of sites and collectors. A lot of collectors look for things before my time, and I in turn collect nostalgic things that might mean nothing to someone else. But you understand.

Goth Kitty 22 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) Got any more info. I'm sure I can find it for you. 420325[/snapback] The small version was about 4 inches long. The large verson came in a box that was roughly the same size of a Megazord. The small one may have had a simpler transformation where you had to take off the wings and may have turned into legs. I think it was the antagonist because it was shelved to a similar but white version. I keep thinking bat or dragon even though I remember a delta shape. The hero looks like it's from Dragonar, but I don't see a black ship in Dragonar. I remember that vehicle mode didn't look like an afterthought as you see in Gundam. This was a full transformation and not just a wing backpack or core fighter. Aside from Gundam X, it had a Gridman style to it. I'm sorry if this info is vague.
