Takatoku Otasuke-Sande from the TV Anime Otasukeman which was part of the Time Bokan series.

Hey kids - just got this.  I've been eyeing it on Ebay for about 2 months, but I finally sprang. It was pricey, but WORTH IT!! To me this is now my favorite toy in my collection as it has it all. As some of you may know, I just started recently collecting vintage to go with my mostly SOC type collection. If I see an unusual toy of the past that grabs me, I'll add it.

This has it all! Firing missiles, animal related, 70s/80s color, it even turns from a pelican into a tank! It also has a very cool spring loaded wheel track that flips into a normal wheel track in a very cool way, which I'll show below. Comes with a numebr of gizmos and perks that Takatoku seems to love, including like rubbery little Gashapon. I tried the missiles - they shoot VERY far!

It has a lot of gold plating and a TON OF DIECAST!! The major part of the body, head and neck is all diecast. Check it out!!

GREAT BOX!!

Fold back pelican neck, remove beak and basket, and add tank cannon.

The lower neck reveals the cockpit of the tank, {removed cannon in second pic so you can see cockpit better}

OS DX_toy_9

Add front digger arms piece and fold down canopy.

Here I removed cannon ...looks like a cool Voltes type digging truck..!! See where yellow missile goes too, others fit in blue chest part.

Notice how pelican bird's radar ears fit through canopy top holes!

BTW, one small fact - there is a version where the wing sticker says "SUNDAY" instead of "SANDAY" !!! Must have been fixed, as mine is the corrected sticker.
