| Super Robot Transparent (スーパーロボット 透明) Knock-Off from Yahoo Japan Auction |
As I recall, I spotted these on Yahoo Japan a few years ago with the title of "Shooting Robots" - the kana translates as "Super Robot Transparent" - I believe they're similar to some other transparent kaiju toys I have, probably around 3-4 inches tall. The trend is to have various figures molded in translucent plastic - these appear to fire missiles from the ends of the wrists.
You can see the Zeroid influence in the chest, featuring the Zobor reel-to-reel, but the most obvious likeness is in the heads, basically a copy of Zintar's head. If I were to guess, these are probably from the late 70's or early 80's.
I'm looking to acquire an example if anyone has one.
