Spin-Lancer
Diecast Transformer from Japan
Nippon Animation Company 1977
Below are pictures of the Spin-Lancer robot by Takemi toys. This Japanese diecast is yet another strange creation from the quirky & cheap Japanese toy company takemi. we have removable orange shoulder blades, a set of chest missiles, four chrome swords, and then four firing fists. Takemi didn't skimp with the firepower.
Box graphics are almost Koran-like in their mystic scripting and wavering lines. I just don't get it; but I enjoy the overall graphic effect. In front of the box is a window showing most all of the diecast beauty beneath.
  
Pictures above show the moveable joints as well as front and back box art.
  
Above are pictures of rear box art, Styrofoam, and then the diecast robot.
