(Sorry, out of stock...SOLD for $135.00) Original Voltes V "Volt Panzer" PB-06 Robot, by Popy. From 1977 comes this important mid-section component of the giant DX Voltes V robot, Volt Panzer. These were originally sold separately, individually boxed and marketed in Japan over 35 years ago, 5 years before they ever made it to the US. This coveted "green box" version of the Popy toy still has the original interior with all printed inserts, 3-piece sword, and 6 yellow missiles. The condition of this beautiful piece is "played", with some minor paint chipping and the original rubber treads starting to split (Mr. Pop Top has heard that you can buy replacement treads for these fairly easily off of the good 'ol internet). The box is a little scuffed on the corners. Hard to find these, however, in any condition, especially for this GREAT PRICE! Voltes V comes from the legendary Japanese TV series of 1977 "Super Electromagnetic Machine Voltes Five" The plot concerned the adventures of The Voltes Team (pilots for individual components of the Voltes V robot) and their battles against alien invaders from planet Boazan. The theme of uprising and revolution against an oppressive regime got this show banned from the airwaves by the government when it ran in The Phillipines, probably because then-President Ferdinand Marcos took it a little too...personally. Tapes of distant broadcasts and Voltes V toys at that point became extremely sought after in the islands...creating the legend that is...VOLTES V. It never ran on US television, but this toy was briefly mismarketed in the States in the early 80's by Bandai as a Godaikin offering. Here is a chance to get this important piece of robot history at a terrific price. Out of stock.
