(comment) It is a masterpiece that seems to gather all the good points of SPOT-ON. The distinctive window shape at the rear of the car body is accurately reproduced, and the dolls of the two members of the Imperial family are also painted. The ornaments, door handles, fender mirrors, roof flags and poles, and the British crest are all represented as separate parts, and all these easily lost parts are original and remain with this piece. Also, the light gimmick, which can be said to be a feature of early SPOT-ON, still has the bulb and it even lights up. In the UK, the main country, the figures had their feet cut off due to storage space issues, which angered the royal family, and they were banned immediately after release, so there are fewer than in Japan. It's unfortunate that there's no sleeve, but even in this condition, it's rare for them to appear on the market (Shiraishi). z131 |
