Two parts are part of the set are from the Voltron III ?? set. -The land sea and air set. The jet is an interesting vehicle from the Popnika set where Maskman?? the robot fits in. At the moment, the exact sentai bot name escapes me. The final toy looks like a part from the Bismark Bandai series. That part, though, is an unknown.

(I knew you'd come to my rescue, Ed  ) Yeah, I recognized the two parts from Dairugger XV (Voltron I). I definately found Starcondor on a Sentai resource site as a toy from Flashman. In the series, it converted into a base, but I have no idea if this version does. What did you mean about a robot fitting in? The last one is a puzzle to me, as well. I'll have to look into it more. It's probably lurking somewhere in the Toybox DX data files. The seller believes it's called "Gaios II" (perhaps part of a "Gaios" combiner) but I can't find anything on it. Thanks! |

The ship is Star Condor from the Bandai Flashman sentai series.
Hope that helps......

(thanks!)

I believe the condor DID have small plastic robot parts fit into it. Also I believe it was considered to be a DX (samller) Popnika toy.
..Besides that ....YOU will be the expert soon ;D

Well, they're here. Maybe I should do an official review sometime. I'll add pics on my site in the next few days. Here's the low-down though.
Star Condor (Flashman, 1986) -
I just know this is an ST version and there's a huge DX out there. You can just tell sometimes. It's a really cool looking vehicle with decent features, but they could be better. It opens up to become a two level parking garage of sorts. The look is definately better than the play value, though it's heavy Die-cast, so I won't complain too much.
Gaios II (1986) -
A genuine mystery. Definately a Bandai Sentai toy, and the copyright suggests it's either Changeman or Flashman, but I can't find it in either series at the Sentai Sanctorium. Anyway, this one's much cooler. The top part detaches and becomes a wanna-be Star Wars X-wing, but it looks cool, has a cockpit that opens, and an impressive conversion. The rest of it becomes a giant wind-up motorized drilling machine, which is not half as cool, but is still decent. The X-Wing is diecast, but the rest is plastic.
Both came in great shape. Both really nice for display, but I may end up reselling them cuz they're not much fun to play with.
