Godaikin Gardian Accessories

[zara]

Hello,

New to this board, but excited to be here.

I recently purchased a Gardian non-brown box version. It was cheap, but has a few issues: broken lower arm on Garbin, missing some rockets, the Magnum hatchet, a knuckle bomb, and a double knuckle staff. Also missing Clint.

I managed to wrangle an upper torso for Garbin, so I can switch out the current one to fix the arm, but I still need accessories.

Does anyone have any of the above parts for sale, particularly the rockets and Clint?

Thanks.

You mean you purchased the window box (silver box) version?

Are you in the U.S.?

I may have Clint or some spare accessories and body parts. I will check later tonight.

Hi Mr. Ginrai,

First, thanks for responding. I appreciate it

I purchased the one without the window - non-silver. It's got the dark cover with the windowed insert. I got it because it's the same style box as my other ones. Although, I do like the window.

I noticed that the foam also has some subtle differences from the silver version. The foam cutouts for Clint and Daigo have bottoms, unlike the silver version which are shaped like the figures with no bottom.

Thank you for checking for me. I've always been a Transformers guy, but these bots have won me over.

Oh... And I am in the US.

We call that the art box version. We like those better.

The foam should be the same. No holes. If you see holes the rubber probably ate through the styrofoam.

I am a former TF guy too. PM me if you need anything, my inventory is huge and all original.

See... I'm learning already.

The foam really seems different on my silver box. It's not just that there's no bottom: the holes are much shallower and kind of curve into the shape of the figure. I could be wrong though. I haven't looked at it for a while. I'd take a pic, but I'm on vacation.

My first robot toys were actually Godaikin..before transformers. I lived in Italy as a kid and it was harder to find TFs, but they had these awesome space robots that shot rockets across the room. Forgot all about them until I found someone selling Godaikin. The ones in Italy probably weren't the same, but they remind me of them.

You either had Taiwan bootlegs (English boxes) or real popy (Japanese boxes) for the DX stuff...a long shot may have been godaikin boxes with robo machine name stickers over the godaikin name.

For smaller stuff you probably had licensed copies by Ales or ceppi ratti.

I recall some that either were diarugger or resembled it. They were made of multiple connecting vehicles. I don't think it was branded as Voltron. I can't remember the language on the box. It may have been Italian, but I definitely knew that they were from Japan even at 6-7 years old. As soon as we moved back to the states, I started with transformers and forgot all about them until a month ago.

Now that I think about it, Italian TV may have even showed the Super robot animations.
