Description

This lot comprises two vintage Takara Combat Armor Soltic H8 Round Facer Series-02 dual model kits, originally released in the early 1980s as part of the Fang of the Sun Dougram merchandising line. These 1/72 scale figures utilize Takara’s signature dual model construction, featuring a heavy zinc diecast metal internal frame designed to be outfitted with dark green molded plastic armor plates. The units are housed in their original black cardboard boxes, which are decorated with gold-line technical illustrations and detailed specifications in both English and Japanese. The manufacturer name Takara is clearly marked on the reverse of each box. Included with the models are various loose weapons, armor components, and a factory decal sheet. Box measurements are approximately 9 1/2 inches by 8 5/8 inches.

Condition: The set is presented in mixed states of assembly. One unit is noted as new and remains partially housed in its original internal packaging inserts. The second unit is partially assembled and is accompanied by a variety of loose accessories and an unapplied decal sheet. Both original boxes show visible signs of shelf wear, including scuffing to the edges, corner wear, and surface abrasions. All parts appear original to the period.

Notice to bidders: The absence of a condition report does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition. Photos are considered part of the condition report. Complete condition information is available by request, please request no later than 24 hours prior to the auction. All lots are offered and sold "as is", and Willow Auctions will not provide refunds based on condition. Timepiece movements, lighting and electrics have not been tested, and art has not been examined out of the frame unless otherwise stated. We have our own in-house shipping program.  Please request in-house shipping, if needed.
