Pop Culture Time Capsule: TV Memorabilia & Vintage Toys
Lot 99:
This lot features a diverse collection of four vintage Japanese science fiction toys and model kits, primarily manufactured by Bandai during the late 1980s. The centerpiece is a Godaikin Dyjupiter space vehicle (Item #372461), a large-scale carrier craft constructed from molded plastic with factory-applied decals. Originally released as part of the Kagaku Sentai Dynaman series, this Godaikin version was marketed for the North American market as a mobile hangar for the Dynaman machines. The collection also includes a 1/144 scale Gundam NT-1 RX-78NT1 plastic model kit from the Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket series, featuring a 1989 copyright. Additionally, the lot contains a 1:60 scale Patlabor Pythonlabor (Manabe MPL-97S) Soft Dimension Model and a Metalder Sidephantom vehicle from the Popinica series, based on the Choujinki Metalder television program. These items represent the peak of Japanese mecha design and toy engineering from the era. The lot is housed in a plastic storage bin. Measurements: 16 x 8 inches (storage bin).
Condition: Items and their original packaging exhibit varying degrees of wear and completeness. The Dyjupiter vehicle is shown with its original box and includes loose accessories consisting of four yellow missiles and two silver-toned landing gear components; the vehicle shows minor surface scuffing and decal wear. The Gundam NT-1 model kit is partially assembled, with various components removed from the plastic runners; the box shows moderate shelf wear and creasing. The Patlabor Pythonlabor kit is unbuilt with parts contained in a sealed plastic bag, though the original box is in poor condition with significant crushing and structural damage. The Metalder Sidephantom is housed in its original polystyrene tray with its Japanese-language box, which shows edge wear and creasing. Overall, the packaging for all items exhibits typical signs of age, including surface scuffing, corner dings, and adhesive residue.
