Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:9383795 | Year: 1982 |
| Theme: Godaikin | Brand: POPY |
| Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan |
A nice displayable example of a scarce, elaborate vintage Godaikin. Appears to be minimally played with, with all stickers, and both original fists. It has some wear to a few sticker edges and chrome, and a couple small paint chips on the head. It seems to be complete except for the rubber tank treads for the wheels and accessories (missiles, etc).
There are two repairs to this toy. The right original fist has a careful epoxy repair to reattach the post - it inserts fine ...and stays locked in the arm. The legs also have a repair. This Godaikin was shipped carefully packed to the previous buyer with the legs intact, as seen in the first photos. It was returned with the legs broken off, without explanation. The breaks were clean, so I J B Plastic Weld epoxy glued them. The legs still pivot at the joints. The robot displays well again, but may not hold up to robust handling or play, so bid accordingly.
Please look at the photos carefully for condition. I am including the images from the original listing, plus added pictures showing the leg breaks and the leg section after the repair. Please aware when bidding, this toy displays well, many commonly broken spots are fine, but it has been repaired as described
A black and white photocopy of the original instruction booklet is included.
I will partially disassemble and pack padded very carefully for shipment via USPS Priority Mail.
