Just like the title says! http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e71477407 Okay, it's actually the "Missile Firing Gatchaman," minus all of his accessories, but he sure looks like he'd be right at home with the Oompa Loompas! James

Bwahahahahahaha...That is hillarious! So, no cape, huh? Guess it would catch fire..and he could be in firebird mode!

hahahahaha that toy was well loved....poor Ken...So he's started smoking now???

I'm having very bad nipple thoughts.... Getting away from that, what short hair he has? But he certainly is very broad and stumpy. Ken the miner. Those clippy bits on his arms and legs look amusing. Perhaps that's where the missiles used to be kept when he wasn't wearing them in his bosom.

That's correct! I've got an unopened version of that toy, and that's where the missiles are stored. James

Aye, the world of toys must sometimes be painful. Does he have his cape and helmet in the un-played-with version? That short hair looks like it would have been helmeted.

He does have a helmet, removable made of soft vinyl, and obviously lost on this one. But alas, no cape. They probably figured it would get in the way of the triggers on his back. If you want to see a picture of mine, you can find it here: http://www.gatchamangoods.com/MissfireToy.html James

Oh my! He looks quite alarmed, with his arms up and his missiles all on display. This must be one of the stranger Gatch toys. Although not as strange as the walking robot Ken. And definitely not as strange as transparent-bone-and-organ-viewing flying Ken with the propeller powered bottom. I've got a few gatch toys myself, but nothing to rival your collection. Sadly the "flyingken" page on gatchamangoods.com is broken...

OMG, he's soo ugly and doesn't look like Ken at all. What were those holes in his chest for?

What were those holes in his chest for?

That was where he fires the missiles from. What do you mean Ken never did that in the show? James

Nope. Well I haven't seen the first series, and from the Eagle Riders chops he never fired a missile. He had those in his personal arsenal? Did he had other weapon except that cutting saucer....birdrang?

No, Ken never actually fired any missiles from his chest in any of the series. This was just an example of a toy manufacturer creating a gimmick that really makes no sense whatsoever. Okay, if you want to get technical, the Ninja Team apparently do carry small missiles in the second series. These missiles are fired from their Sonic Guns, not their chests! They are used all of twice, and are not really a regularly-used part of their arsenal. All the Ninja Team also have Feather Shuriken, but you only see Joe and Jun use them. And they also carry a variety of small explosives, tracking devices, and whatever other knick-knack the script called for.

Did he had other weapon except that cutting saucer....birdrang?

As far as a regularly used weapons goes, in the first series Ken had the Boomerang, in the second he had the Bird Saucer and the Sonic Gun, and in the third series he had the Gatchaman Fencer and the Freeze Gun. James

Thanks for explanation Tatusonokofan. I would really have freaked out if Ken used bra explsibles and I'd lost the ep. Come to think, they could have used the idea for Jun's oversized boobs in the movie.

Look out! She's packed with C4 and ready to blow! James

HHhhhmmmmm, I have another challenge for our Swan writers. Imagine, the team and Zoltar and couple of goons going undercover at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

Bwaaaaa haaa haaaa!!!!!! I'm thinking about the Fembots from Austin Powers.... *snicker*
