(Sorry, out of stock...SOLD for $45) Vintage Dorvack "Bonaparte Tulcas" Powered Armor Kit, by Gunze Sangyo. Another fantastic imported 1/100 scale model kit by Gunze Sangyo from the Japanese Sci-Fi anime TV series "Dorvack". This menacing-looking "Variable Machine" robot is VT-61LC Bonaparte Tulcas. "Special Armored Battalion Dorvack" ran for 36 episodes in 1983 on Japanese TV, and is best known for being the spawning ground for some of the characters that were later repackaged in the US as the first "Transformers"...the ones known as "Roadbuster" and "Whirl" came from this series. The plot concerned an invasion of Earth in 1999 (huh? Wha hoppen??) and the Power-Suit Dorvack Battalion's brave battle against the aliens, with a lot of the action taking place in the Alps! The men fought in powered "suits" which were part battle-robot, part tank...and some could transform into other vehicular forms. Just check out the boxtop art on some of these Gunze-Sangyo "Dorvack" kits...the paintings are phenomenal! Anyway, gang, this MINT-IN-BOX, unassembled plastic model kit from 25 years ago is a great find these days...don't miss this one. Model box size 8" x 5 1/2". Out of stock.
