Title: BOTP/Gatchaman Phoenix I got from Japan
Post by: jedijeff on October 10, 2012, 09:11:51 PM
I have been waiting on this for almost a year now (though I could say I have been waiting for over 30 years) for this to arrive. I am pretty pleased with this ship, as it was always one of my favorites even though it is just a cartoon. I don't want to say to much more as I will be reviewing it on my upcoming podcast.

Today I received a Helmet from a great builder on the RPF. It is the Commander of G-Force/Science Ninja Team/Gatchaman Helmet. This is always something I always dreamed of when I was a kid, so cool that something like this can be a reality from a cartoon.

Yes, it was a small Viper I picked up a few years ago. I think I bought it at a Clear Out Toy Store in Vegas for 5 Bucks. I like to Have little ships beside my Helmets. I have an Action Fleet Slave 1 beside my Boba Fett Helmet and an Hasbro AT-RT beside my Gree Helmet.

I have a few Boba Fett things from over the years, though I missed out on a few things that in hindsight I wish I would have picked up. The Helmet I sort of got on it late, and nearly missed out, even lucked out and got a couple matching prints with it.

I missed this thread in my absence. I used to love that ship. At one point in my childhood it was THE ship to have.

I'm like you Jeff, I've been waiting years to see that again.
