    Maser Cannon - War of the Gargantuas, etc.

    Hi Everyone,

    I recently added this beauty to my collection; it is a 1/48 scale JDF Type 70 Maser Cannon.

    After it first showed up in the classic "War of the Gargantuas" it became a standard piece of field armament in nearly every subsequent Kaiju film of the 70's. It is incredibly detailed and the maser cannon itself swivels, elevates, and even lights up; the super-bright white LED lights pulsate just like in the movies - the photo really doesn't do it justice. The box design is also top-notch as you can clearly see.

    Anyway, I just wanted to share this rarely seen collectible with the museum community. Why can't American toy companies produce stuff like this? Enjoy!

    Holee Smokes! That's awesome!!!! A light too?!??! Heee heee.... I wonder if it was modeled off the actual props.

    I was asking a similar question on another site pertaining to Japanese cartoons.... We're losing the nerdity race people!

      Oh God, there is another toy I'd like to buy and send it back to myself in 1976. Freaking marvelous!

            Hobbylink Japan had some of those on sale a couple of weeks ago. Some are even remote controlled. I wanted sooooo badly to buy one, but freelancing season hadn't started yet....

            Normally over $150, they're 80% off. If you ever wanted one, now is the time to grab one:
