(comment) Big X runs dashingly on a motorcycle while being shot by an enemy in the city.
In this tin plate with such a box picture, the blue big X of soft vinyl is the first thing that catches the eye. Big X has a strong impression of a green helmet and red clothes in the box picture, but the reason why the helmet and cloak are yellow and the body is blue is thought to be due to Asakusa toys. The motorcycle tin that looks the same as the picture is modeled on the "CA72 Dream" that Honda made for the United States. The motorcycle is sold separately under the name of "motorcycle".
When selling this bike in connection with the Big X, the original red figure of the Big X as a doll to put on the red bike will be the same color as the bike, so I think I chose a color other than red. .. As you will see on the following page, there are 129 Asakusa toy race cars that have a red car and a blue body of the Big X to ride.
Furthermore, this doll will be the only "soft vinyl with the whole body of Big X" that existed in the 1960s. Nowadays, there are some big ones from Denboku, but in the mid-1960s, before Ultra Q and Ultraman, where soft vinyl became popular, the ones that used soft vinyl material for the head and upper body as tin toy parts were However, I can't confirm any other products made from the head to the toes.
What surprises me is the perfection as a doll riding a motorcycle. There is a fit on the thighs, so you can adjust the appearance of straddling the bike. Character toys for riding motorcycles on which soft vinyl dolls will ride will be released by various companies in later years, but there are no fittings even on the thighs, and the dolls will be fixed in a crab crotch state. This Big X-like structure with a large number of parts is usually disliked, and it is a challenging and unique structure that was born because the situation allows challenges during the transitional period of character motorcycle tinplate.
"Tezuka character thing", "motorcycle tin", "soft vinyl", one point that will never come out in the world attention from any point of view (Ri Sato)
