Anyone down South want to take some photos?
If so, this gentleman has a collection of the toys from Singapore for someone to have a look at - get in touch via Instagram RobotsRetrosSpaces there are some older images at the bottom of the collection already, plus the Evolution Dai-X.

Re: Anyone down South want to take some photos?
Hi Andy, how are you doing?
This is a good find, probably not a job for this guy; especially at the moment sadly.
I see he has a decent Star Fleet collection; dynamite Dai-X and the jumbo one with the rocket launchers on the legs for starters ...
I need to find time to do my scanning of the Japanese comics.
I am missing two issues of the TV-Kun one and they are not showing up.
But there is a Shonen Jump one in three instalments and the last one of those should be getting delivered tomorrow.
The Shonen jump one is actually very surprising, it puts a completely different spin on the show; like it takes place in an alternate universe with new characters and ships etc.
But it is interesting to look at.

Re: Anyone down South want to take some photos?
By the way, Andy, how did you come across this chap in Instagram? I was wondering whether he'd messaged you, or perhaps you'd found him while browsing etc.
I'm badly de-railing this topic here, but it does still follow on from what I was saying before ...
I have the Shonen Jump X Bomber manga all scanned in and completed.
There's quite a few pages across the three instalments and it puts an interesting spin on the series.
It has quite a grown-up and wistful quality towards the end, but it could really do with translating into English so that we can see exactly what the characters discuss.
Interestingly, the Dai-X doesn't actually make an appearance anywhere:
This one is very bite-sized and action packed and very imaginative. The characters are a little closer to how they are in the show; maybe because the TV-Kun manga was done a bit later and the artist was able to study it.

He got in touch with me, a rarer occurrence these days but it does happen occasionally!
