The cannons can launch plastic discs ! |
These are the big plastic ships that were available in France (see A2 logo - second channel) when the Captain Harlock ("Albator 1978") cartoons first aired. Since Takara has made these for the Japanese market, I guess they sent molds to France to get them made and packaged there, or maybe it was just a "sticker and box"-swap... The Arcadia had a sound controlled mechanism with a clicker that made the ship run in circles and shoot the discs.
The Cosmowing ("Aviscoupe" in French) had no batteries whatsoever, but used a clever system (but not very strong) of air to launch the bullet car and the missiles. The back tower of the ship served as pump.
