1983 GOKIN GALACTIC GALE BAXINGER (GINGA REPPU BAKUSHINGA) BY TAKATOKU

Galactic Gale Baxinger is a lesser known giant robot of the 80s. It is a combiner. The heroes ride 5 Cosmobikes (space motorcycles) and they combine to form Baxinger.

I have the 6" version Baxinger. I got it quite cheap from a Japan seller through eBay.

Here's the box art. It's beautiful. I like the artwork of the robot with its interior mechanics at the back of the box.

Features and accessories are:

1) Diecast front body and thighs

2) Shooting fists

3) 2 back mounted canons with 4 shooting missiles. These canons can be held in his fist as well.

4) Huge Sword

5) Instruction sheet

6) Mini catalog

This toy is practically new. The joints are super tight and the chrome is shiny. Stickers are nicely in place. A very nicely preserved vintage robot. I am happy with this.

It has a very nice head sculpt. There are also some blue translucent plastic on the arms and knees. Even though not that popular compared to other robots of the 80s, this toy is still hard to come by. eBay is selling for about USD70 for a mint in box specimen. (I got mine much cheaper). And beware, there are many Taiwan KOs of this toy too.
