My Japanese Takara items so far

[burnsy]

I've been buying a few bits and pieces for a while and I've been waiting for an item from the US for two months now. Doesn't look like it's gonna show, so thought I'd show you how I'm getting on so far.

Came across a few R2 items first and thought they were so cool. I basically need a further 2 R2 items. The bump and Go R2 and the Disc Firing R2 (which is what I'm waiting for).

I recently purchased the C3-P0 and I'm looking at other items as well.
There's a Vader and X-wing models.

Don't know whether you guys have come across these, but the workmanship and weight of the items are amazing.

This one's cool as it has the firing rockets, but also has a view finder with stills of the film

This is the same model, but comes in two different boxes

Excellent stuff mate, love the rocket firing r2.

 

[javifett]

Hi sorry for derailing the thread a little, Ron i thought the boxed R2d2 afa 75 was a Takara. Sorry bud.

Grant.

 

[Ron]

Nah grant its a Kenner

 

[cocofstar]

Very nice Burnsy 8)

 

[burnsy]

Cheers lads.

Not really looking at Popy or Takara carded figures.
I just like the obscure Japanese items.

There are a few more items I want, the two other boxed R2's, there are two die cast X wing versions (one transforms, well ahead of it's time!!) and a Die cast Vader like C3-P0.

 

[spoons]

Great stuff Burnsy - There's not many out there with a collection like yours 8)

I was watching a takara r2 and 3p0 on ebay recently, they're not cheap

 

[stevemac1976]

Love the takara items. They look really cool.

I have been hoping to pick up a few takara chewie items but the funds are well and truly drained.

Thanks for the share

those takara items are really cool and great additions. I love that stuff m8.
(gotta find myself an walking R2 to...)

 

[burnsy]

Another addition.

 

[Stargeezer]

Cool X-wing, how big (or small) is that thing? can you snap a pic off it compared against a regular fig?

 

[plantman]

Looks in excellent condition mate

 

[burnsy]

Well, it's here!

It only took three months to arrive but it was worth the wait as it's my favourite
Takara piece. Full working order and a great instruction sheet with it.

Hope you like it....

Just to give you an idea of size along side an Ewok.

It fires yellow discs out of the slot on the front.

Just to show you one of the exposed cog mechanisms on one of the legs (yes I'm sad!)

 

[Bollux]

thats awesome burnsy!

looks in amazing condition!

 

[weasel]

Yeah, great addition mate. Though 3 months!?

 

[burnsy]

Yeah 3 months Weaz!!!!

The seller dicked me about with getting it posted and the it sat in customs here for a month
with no correspondence. I tracked it down Saturday morning just before it was due to be sent back
and it arrived today.

Really pleased with it.

 

[cocofstar]

Thats a stunning piece Burnsy, really nice mate 8)

Would be delighted with one of those myself

 

[plantman]

Lovely Jubbly

 

[paulaura]

Ive been collecting vintage stuff since the 80s, and Ive had tonnes of stuff pass through my hands, but Ive never had a takara figure.

Seeing some of the things on here, I might get a couple of items, they look really cool.

Great stuff guys. 8)

 

[Capetown]

I think the R2 looks fantastic! Congratulations on a great buy.

 

[han duo]
