Ishkick G.E.R.W.A.L.K. from Orguss

(G.E.R.W.A.L.K — Ground Effective Reinforcement of Winged Armorment with Locamotive Knee Joint)

Chalk it up to age and time, but Orguss toys have aged well; that is, they have aged well if they haven’t been broken. Fate had me take extra photos of Gerwalk Ishkick and almost sell it. Need I say, it didn’t reach the auction block!

Right after Takatoku Toys developed the popular “Robotech” or “Macross” toys they had one last swan song– Orguss toys. Ishkick represents one small, unknown, yet well thought out toy from Japan. Below are pictures of the millitary themed Gerwalk Ishkick MGB-21D-2 toy by Takatoku.

80’s J-toy fans may already recognize the intent of this line– for model building. Not too many collectors got around to painting and detailing; it was an already impressive toy ready to go. Inside the Valkyrie like box is a massive sticker sheet and detailed instruction sheet. Cardboard box outsides feel just like Macross toy boxes with a “moon skin” leather like dimples.

Inside one of the baggies is a driver, missiles, add on guns, and extra parts. You can add on a cannon and missile pod as well is smaller waist guns. Each gun and and add on rotates; you can even flip up shoulder compartments for yet another round of missiles.
