Description
This lot features a collection of four vintage Japanese hobby model kits from the Orient Hero Series produced by Volks Inc. The collection includes titles such as Jr. Ultra World featuring Ultraman and a monster, Frankenstein vs. Baragon, Tetsujin vs. Monster, and King Ghidorah (Orient Hero Collection model number 21). These kits are classic examples of late 20th-century Japanese garage kits, primarily marketed to dedicated hobbyists. The King Ghidorah kit features work by prototype artist Hatanaka Masayoshi, while the Tetsujin kit credits Kenji Kawamoto. The kits are constructed from solid cast resin and plastic parts in various colors including red, tan, and pale green. Each kit includes original Japanese instruction sheets and illustrated box art. All items are marked as made in Japan with copyright dates circa 1987. Measurements for the boxes are approximately 12 inches by 10 inches.
Condition: The kits appear to be unbuilt and unassembled. Interior contents include parts still contained in original plastic bags. The cardboard boxes show various levels of age-related wear, including creases, tears, yellowing, and staining. One box label shows significant surface tearing. The kits appear to be complete with original parts and documentation.
