I love the original Transformers/Takara car robots, Mirage is a perfect example. The car mode is nice and realistic, with rubber wheels and a bit of chrome. Bot mode seems to come from nowhere but has well formed arms,legs and some articulation also. I never realized what a cool head sculpt he has, very cool stuff!
Hound was one of my earlier Transformers, and after looking at him again after many years I am very impressed with all the details. The Neat Army deco, the chrome bits and guns, Hound is a great Toy!
Hound was released as part of the initial Autobot assortment in 1984, transforming into a Mitsubishi J59 Jeep. Hound was originally released in the Japanese Diaclone toy line in 1982.
Being a child of the 70s and 80s I still
have a fondness for that time, luckily
I was able to hold on to some of my
childhood toys as a way to remember
those times. Over the past couple years
I have gotten back into toys as an adult an still find joy in collecting.
My interests are mainly in Japanese style robots and mecha. My plan with this blog is to post photos and comments on my collection, and occasionally show art or whatever else I think is cool.
