Scarce Dark Blue Whirl w/ box for sale/trade
Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2008 7:07 pmHi folks
I am thinking about putting my Ovelon Gazette Dark Blue Whirl up on ebay but thought I'd try it here first for a few days.
If you are curious about my transaction history anywhere, my ebay id is fistthecat and I have 100% positive
This is a later issue of the Takatoku toy from Taiwan (I think). The quality is nothing short of excellent for what is likely a bootleg. I believe this was issued around 1984 (bear with me I'm not too knowledgeable of the Dorvack stuff, except I had the Roadbuster one as a kid)
In any case he is complete with all 4 weapons (one a darker grey, no idea why), instructions, and partially used sticker sheet
The toy itself is in great shape, I'd give it about a C8, the stickers have been placed neatly and cleanly (some are still on the sheet)
most importantly he has that head antenna that is always missing from Whirl.
Arms stay up when put up, thats a good thing.
One of the legs likes to cave in in robot mode moreso than the other, but I've never had a problem getting it to stay, it's just a pit looser than one would like
All weapons are in great clean shape
Instructions and partially used sticker sheet are present
The box is about a C7 with the most prominent damage being the torn acetate window, other wise average wear n tear with some slight tears on the opening flap
Hard to name a price, I saw this particular version sell for $250 last year, and currently there are 2 Takatoku versions up online, one is $399 and one is paired up with the Takatoku Roadbuster for $899.
I think it's fair to put $199 OBO on this, it's a good way to pick up the Dark Blue Whirl for a price far below any of the others online. If any of you have dealt with me as fistthecat you'll know I'm pretty easy to get along with.
At this point, I don't seem to be able to upload any pics, but can happily send them to the email address of anyone interested, sorry about this, I just can't get the ...'uploading thingy" to connect to Seibertron to attach the files
Thanks all and take care
Oh and if anyone goes for this for $175 and up I'll ship it for free. I take paypal.
