Hi everyone,
Let me start off by introducing myself my name is Scott and I'm from Massachusetts. I am brand new to this board but I'm hoping people here will be able to help me out. I run a consignment business New England Consignment and Collectables. I sell mostly on Ebay but have a website and also sell locally. Anyway, I am in the process of taking in a giant toy collection primarily from the 70's and 80's. There is a little bit of everything. There are several Shoguns which I will picture at a later time with hopes people can help ID them for me. But this one figure has both me and the person who owned it guessing. It is die cast has no writing at all on it so we are stumped. If you push the buttons on the sides of his arms his fists shoot off.

Its a bootleg figure. An original creation. Its got some design elements from a couple of popular robots (Groizer, Tekkaman), but overall it is not something anyone would recognize. I think it was called Zork or something like that. Unfortunately, its probably not worth much. BTW, it looks like it has two right fists (hard to see in the photo to confirm).

I didn't even notice but I think you may be right about the 2 right hands. I think the real finds of this collection are Rodan? and Godzilla from the shogun series.

Rodan is highly sought after depending on condition and if he has the box. The lighter green Godzilla is the good one. That's the first edition with the weighted legs. You may be surprised that some of the die casts may be worth more than the jumbos. Depending on which of each you have, condition, all the pieces, etc.... |

Rodan has all his pieces but his head is detached but the body and wings are good. I saw on Ebay that the wings sold for $175 each which I thought was nuts. Godzilla is the one with the button on his back that you push to make his tongue stick out. I don't have boxes for those. I do have shogun action vehicles with boxes. I will get pictures of everything up most likely Monday. I will just post in this thread to keep everything together.

The robot you first posted should be Zork or something similar and should have a stamp mark for Ales or Hong Kong. I had the reverse color version, Tark. They come with a gun and four fists (two left, two right). The plastic tabs on the fists can be fragile and break easily. They aren't worth much. Mint In the box with everything they sell for about $15.

Very nice!! From the pictures both seem to be in good shape. Looking at the color of the Godzilla, he looks like a 2nd edition.
There are a lot of die cast guys on here that are way more knowledgible than I am so I'll let them jump in.
Tom
