Epoch Electrotennis - MIB - Display Only

A grand centrepiece to any serious Pong collection for reasons both aesthetic and historical. The Epoch Electrotennis was the first computer game designed and built solely in Japan. It dominates it's puny brethren through sheer size and audacity of design; measuring almost two feet across and sporting resplendent bright orange livery: it wouldn't look out of place on the set of Barbarella. Also noted for making the first use of wireless technology in a console; this example comes complete in it's original rather non-descript packaging with inserts, antenna and instruction manual. Pong machines don't come any better than this.

Tomy Green NTT Shaberoku - MIB - Display Only

Throughout the 1980's Tomy made innumerable corporate promotional robots, from Coke and Pepsi through to Donut Boys, it seemed every company wanted a cheap robotic ambassador. Like a slightly more technical form of the corporate pen. And many featured not merely the addition of a bland logo: but new accessories, body parts and paint jobs. This rare example was commissioned by the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Company (NTT) and is a Shaberoku (Mr. D.J.) recoloured in bold Green.

Machine Robo MR-B747 Jumbo Jet - Display Only

In 1984 (an annus mirabilis for transforming robots) Bandai began a special promotion with Japan Airlines: offering a limited edition Machine Robo in return for loyalty points. This unlikely alliance produced what is now the rarest of the 600 series and one of its most striking pieces. Rarely seen boxed and often missing an engine or two the MR-B747 is the cherry on the top of most Machine Robo collections.

Bandai God Jesus - MIB - £200

In the pantheon of toy robots there is none more holy and none more ludicrous than God Jesus. The well worn phrase 'only in Japan' seems unavoidable. He is the anointed borg who will answer your prayers with a solemn nod or shake of the head. Brandishing his crucifix aloft he dispenses binary wisdom - for in him two of the trinity have merged. Only the Holy Ghost remains separate. Bandai - will we ever see a Ghost God Jesus? Thus completing a process Catholics the world over have anticipated for centuries.

Tomy Gold Omnibot - MIB - Display Only

First place prize in a competition run for only one year in 1980's Japan. This spectacular Gold Omnibot is the Louis XIV of home robots. Aside from his tray, the packaging and accessories are identical to a regular Japanese release. He's in mint condition and thanks to dry storage is fully working. Very few of these survive in respectable condition. Dazzling in his chrome livery he is truly a king among droids.

Tomy Silver Omnibot - MIB - Display Only

In 1980's Japan a competition saw the release of a limited number of gold and silver chromed Omnibots as 1st and 2nd place prizes respectively. This is one such surviving example. Aside from his tray, the packaging and accessories are identical to a regular Japanese release. He's in mint condition and thanks to dry storage is fully working. He looks resplendent in his shiny chrome and is the toast of many a London dinner party.

Sega SG-1000 - MIB - Display Only

This is a rare first edition SG-1000, made by Sega and released in Japan in 1983. It comes complete with all packaging, accessories and documentation; including the original serial number sheet and proof of purchase. The entire package is in excellent condition for its age and has been tested and is fully working. This first edition features strikingly different packaging to the later release and is prohibitively difficult to find. I have also included a separate boxed SJ-200 controller. Sega's very first home console and a piece of computer game history. A museum piece.

Tokima Digirobo Alarmtokima - MIB - Display Only

Following on from the Aquaboy, Bandai then released the Alarmtokima transforming robot watch late in 1984. Again, this was a spin-off from the main Digirobo line, featuring a functioning alarm and superb new robot design. Two markedly different variations exist; this white (or black) panelled version and a bevelled chrome version. Both are prohibitively rare and probably represent the pinnacle of the transforming watch {craze seems too strong a word!} of the 1980's.

Tokima Digirobo Aquaboy - MIB - £150

Here we have an obscure Aquaboy transforming watch made by Bandai in 1984. This was a spin-off from the main Digirobo line: featuring a waterproof design and cool new robot with scuba gear! Transforming watches are a niche within a niche but a staggering variety were produced within a relatively short period of time: Takara has the most models but Bandai outclassed them with build quality, and designs that were as much watches as they were robots. There are at least two other colour variation of this toy I know of (white and red), and all are challenging to acquire in any condition.

Helic Attack Zoids - MIB - £100

This is an extremely rare complete set of vintage Season 1 - Helic Attack Zoids, made by Tomy / Moranaga in the 1980's. Included are all four models in the series; RAZ-01 Shotodile, RAZ-03 Seabatoras, RAZ-05 Kamakira and RAZ-07 Kyanossa (a further four highly obscure Zenebas models would be released a year later). They are unmade and in mint deadstock condition. They come with original boxes, instruction sheets and even the bubblegum packages that they were originally distributed with.

Zenebas Attack Zoids - MIB - £100

This is an extremely rare complete set of vintage Season 1 - Zenebas Attack Zoids, made by Tomy / Moranaga in the 1980's. Included are all four models in the series; EAZ-02 Silverkong, EAZ-04 Goliath, EAZ-06 Grappler and EAZ-08 Beeshooter (a further four highly obscure Zenebas models would be released a year later). They are unmade and in mint deadstock condition. They come with original boxes, instruction sheets and even the bubblegum packages that they were originally distributed with.

Zoids Starzeta - MIB - Display Only

Starzeta were released under official license by Tomy for a brief period in Spain during the early eighties (concurrently with Mechabonica in Japan). Together they make up the diminutive category of pre-Zoids. Neither series was particularly successful, but when re-released as Zoids proper two years later they would go on to become one of the most important toylines in history. Both are difficult to acquire and this is a complete set of all three models in the series, unmade and mint in box. They feature subtly different colour schemes and stickers to the regular Mechabonica / Zoids releases. A rare and unusual centrepiece to any Zoids collection!
