Includes the original box and wind-up keyThe box text is mostly in Japanese. It has a brief description of the mechanism and action, and goes on to lament the shortage of workers in Japan and the decline of Showa era tinplate production as it is largely supplanted by plastic in the Heisei era. The box description takes particular pride in the strength of the metal spring in the toy's mechanism. There's also a short warning about sharp edges and scratches from handmade workmanship.The head can be rotated by hand CONDITION NOTES Ultraman Taro winds up and moves as intended. He's in good shape, though there are a few tiny scratches here and there (the box text mentions as much as being "unavoidable due to the handmade nature of the product"). The box is somewhat worn, mostly around the edges and corners. There's part of an old shop tag stuck to the back side of the box. Shipping carrier may change depending on destination.
