I am curious plastic: Henshin Cyborg.


Via: Visibleinnards
Takara Toys released the first Henshin Cyborg, Cyborg-1, in late 1972, two years prior to the debut of Microman. The Henshin Cyborg figure, interestingly, was based on the popular 12" (1/6) G.I. Joe. The toy featured clear figure with visible "cyborg" and "atomic engine" machinery innards. Beside the multitude of costumes Takara also released several play-sets and weapon sets for the figures including the Cyborg Station case and Cyborg Cycle set witch used the figure's body as a frame for a futuristic motorcycle.
