Dragon blind box "World Arms Collection" |
Lead | |
|
I don't know if this have been posted before, but I found these at a local Japanese market. They are marked "World Arms Collection - Vol.1 WWII
SMG". Though the box has the markings for a company called "F-toys confect.", there is also a Dragon Action Figures logo on the side. The insert
card also has the Dragon markings and a pic of a DML figure (Anselm Voight?). The weapon, a PPsh-41, is typical of the latest version of DML's weapons,
with the improved "wood" paint job and weathering. The sling is all pleather, instead of the combination pleather and fabric of their latest Russian
weapons. The set included 2 drum magazines. I think I got the "mystery" weapon, as the box doesn't show a PPsh-41 and mentions that there are 6 +
? in the series. Cost: $5.00.

I would concur and say you did get the chase weapon - pretty cool score! Did you try the candy? from what I understand it's for Japanese marketing purposes
only and is not truly intended to be consumed. Apparently including the candy is a way around Japanese law prohibiting the sale of toys in convenience stores -
or something to that effect.

That looks really nice, there seems to be shortage of 1:6 weapons in the UK at the moment, plenty of KAR98s a few garands but not much else, I wish someone
would import these into the UK they would make a killing.

of the 6-10 possible items you can get. Boxes are randomized, and there usually is a "Chase" or very rare item that is in the set that is also
usually secret.
