And Once Again My Morale Crumbles

[frustratedpilot]

The Japanese toy manufacturer Art Storm is set to release a set of diecast vehicle toys based on the hero machines of the classic anime series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, known better here by the titles Battle of the Planets and G-Force (no relation to the new G-Force movie about espionage gerbils). My interest is in the two fighter jets: the G-1 (belonging to the Gatchaman team leader) and the Red Impulse (belonging to a non-team character whose relation with the team is a plot spoiler). According to the website, they're about 6" long. (Battle of the Planets was one of my favorite shows in my adolescent past.)




They're cool; they're perfect; the better-looking than I could imagine--and they're hella expensive.

I had just healed myself from the heartbreak of the Mellowlink action figure/motorcycle set! Blarg!
