Identified: Takara Blockman/Robolinks Gun


Twitter's @JohnDoctorKent has identified this gun as a Blockman weapon! Matt D sends pictures.

It's part of a very large boxed set and is indeed a Takara item which came out around the same time as Transformers' US debut. What I like about it-- as I found it as a loose part in a thrift store bin-- is that it works with my modern Transformers toys that could use a gun, too.

Thanks everybody!




I found this at a thrift store (the same day as the Blockman) and heck if I can figure out what it is-- I'm assuming it's related to the Blockman due to it being in the same bin, but it could be a coincidence. Any ideas which set it came from?

Description: Gun. unpainted.
Color: Black.
Material: Plastic.
Length: 3 1/4-inches
Other: 5mm peg for hands, on sides. Similar dimensions to the Transformers Mini-Con connector points. If this isn't a Takara-designed toy, I'll buy a hat so that I may eat it.

Identified: Diablock or Robolinks Figure

I found this at a thrift store about a week ago and since RoboTech wasn't part of my childhood vocabulary, I picked it up for a quarter. I didn't know what it was, but @JohnDoctorKent did!

Description: Robot figure, non-transforming.
Color: Silver/metal, red, blue.
Material: Plastic with die-cast metal body
Markings: TAKARA 1984

This is a Diablock (or RoboTech Robolinks) figure, a nifty line you can find out more about here. It combines construction and Japanese robots, which, really, is about as perfect as a toy line gets. He's about 2 1/4-inches high.

Numerous sets were available, and well, obviously, now I know what it is. See folks, it's all about learning something. Now, how about identifying some of the other crap on here?

Identified: Star Wars Luke Skywalker Handcuffs

@Suribot on Twitter has sent in a whole mess of accessories, and this one comes from a galaxy far, far away.

Description: Silver handcuffs. Unpainted.
Color: Silver/ grey.
Material: Plastic.
Markings: none
Size: About 3/4-inches

This is a Star Wars Luke Skywalker handcuffs from either 2009 or 2010-- the same basic mold was used for both The Legacy Collection and The Vintage Collection releases of the character in his black Jedi Knight outfit. Either way, this belongs to one of them.

@Suribot on Twitter has sent in a whole mess of accessories, And I know what this one is!

Description: Melee weapon. Unpainted.
Color: Gold/bronze.
Material: Plastic.
Markings: 13

This is a Battle Beasts Gargantuan Gorilla weapon from series 1 of the 1980s action figure line from Hasbro and/or Takara. The picture's color is a little off, but the shape is distinctive. It's made from slightly flexible plastic, but I still wouldn't suggest testing its flexiness.

@chadbarrett on Twitter has sent in this little guy, who looks like he might be interested in fighting the likes of Gamera or Godzilla.

Color: Yellow, green.
