Has anyone made repro sickles for diecast grendy

[robonutter]

Just seeing if anyone makes some sickles for the popy diecast grendizer.

I'm pretty sure someone here makes them, but if not, there are sets f/s on ebay fairly constantly (ie - there is a listing up right now )

i make a set, but its for the bootleg grendizer...not sure if they are the same ?

[robonutter]

@lexcars i am not sure what does bootleg look like i dont know if i have ever seen it. The one i have is the popy 5 inch with his saucer.

There was a Korean knockoff under Star-Zinger packaging. It's branded "clover Korea". Five inch just like the popy except decals are different and sickles are yellow.

Wow thanks for the input i am going to see if i can find photos.

[robonutter]

I found it and wow i never knew about that one. Looks pretty close to popy im thinking lexcars sickles would work

[Mr. Ginrai]

No problem. They do look a little weird with the yellow sickles. They are rare but out there. I foolishly passed on a loose one because it only had two fists, not all four, but it was also quite expensive. There were a ton of them brand new in Massachusetts in the late 80s or mid 90s from what I heard. If you saw the one I think you saw, I don't know why people are paying so much for them. I think 200-400 mint boxed is fine but apparently a few boxed ones have sold for a lot more than that lately. It's just the figure and if you get over 400 you're in Popy territory with a spazer.

The one with the red harikens is the Trans Jets toy, made in Taiwan. Here is a pic:

These are fairly common and inexpensive. I don't know if the harikens are the same size as the Popy ones. Actually, I am pretty sure they are not. The Taiwan ones do not fit into the shoulders, they are only held in the hands, and they have long handles.

The Korean one with the yellow harikens is much more expensive (the price has climbed astronomically within the past few years). Here are some photos:
