I will try to keep it out of the water though - never a good effect on toys !Geoffrey Peetershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688593648754616177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592947019706180822.post-53833210488459772232012-09-25T22:30:03.618+01:002012-09-25T22:30:03.618+01:00Dude, this Mazinger knock-off is definitely not fr...Dude, this Mazinger knock-off is definitely not from the 1990s... Or if it is, they've kept producing it for an awfully long time ! I had it as a kid as early as 1980. I was 5 years old then so my memories are pretty hazy, but I do believe my Mom bought it for me while we were on a trip to Switzerland (I'm French). <br /><br />For years, it stayed in a cardboard box in my mom's basement. Only a couple of years ago I had the idea of taking a look at my old toys and stumbled upon good-old "bathtub rubber duck" Mazinger here... Boy, the effect of cold and humidity on these guys is not a pretty sight. Mine is now all shriveled, twisted and broken.<br /><br />Thanks for keeping your specimen in good shape and posting pics of it on the net, it's a real nostalgia trip!JayWickyhttp://gettermario.dynamicforum.net/t3073-kultima-japan-expo-2008-go-nagai-goldorak-et-les-comicsnoreply@blogger.com
