So one of those elusive and very rare Takatoku Circus-1 toys showed up on Yahoo Auctions Japan (ended auction, don't worry):
[page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp]
Only 60,500 yen...(started at 2,000).
Looking at it, and because it still shows up quite often, I wonder how it was sold or distributed. They never have:
- gun and shield
- stickers
- any paperwork and box
So...production samples? Or very limited production that only consisted of the base figures, with no paperwork, stickers, accessories, and box produced (yet) and dumped at the demise of Takatoku (possibly in baggies)?

*saves pictures*
Those are the same colors as the artwork for ARII's unreleased Galvion kits that are shown on the sides of some model boxes. Artwork which is shown on the poster on page 3 of that thread - AFAIK some of those kits have never been released, even though they have kit numbers that are lower than that of the last kit released (Rescue Chaser).
So the guy on page 4 that seems to be very happy that some of the bad guy mechs are available as kits is going to be disappointed - only alpha-4 (nice kit) and alpha-11 (this one is awfully inaccurate) are available as 1/72 kits, and alpha-7 and alpha-12 (not pictured) are available as 1/120 kits with horrible detail.

They re-released the Galvion Soundtrack on CD last month:
[www.cdjapan.co.jp]
...could this mean a DVD-box might come in the future? I take it they wouldn't re-release only a soundtrack...

Nice find!
>Don't get too excited. The best animated part of the show is the intro. The rest is >kind of baaaaad.
Unfortunately, yes. Those have got to be some of the worst character designs from the 80's. They've got noses you can poke an eye out with.

I asked if I have "Time For L-Gaim" but I got "No Reply From The Wind".

with special guest star, Chirico Cuvie.
edit: ok I guess episode four has some decent animation in the fight towards the end. I guess every 80's mecha show has to have at least one good battle.

Yeah, I knew it would be bad...make that *shudder*B-A-D!*shudder* going in.
Just so cool haveing one of your "holy grails" popping up out of the blue like this...for FREE too!
Holy Grail as In I've been wanting to see the show that gave us those convertors toys...sense...well the toys came out all those years ago. Such an obscure little show, all these years with so little info, then POW! AWSOME!

Oh well, at least I able to sample the first episode. Seeing how truly awful looking the series was, it kinda puts things in perspective as to why that big DX Galvion toy was never released and no one talks about the anime outside of super hardcore mecha otaku. Being that 1984 was such a great year for mecha anime (L-Gaim, Macross DYRL and the Birth OVA), it puts things into even more context that Galvion was just not well received at all.

Here's a scan of the 4 trading cards that come with the Select CONVERTORS SUPER DEFENDERS Galvion toys. I picked up "X" moc via eBay several years back, and the blister popped off cleanly during shipping, which seems to be a common problem with the Super Convertors. (Scored it for only $5, so it wasn't a big deal.)
It came with 4 different cards, one of each of the Super Defenders Select released, I assume:
...Were there any Super Maladroids, I wonder?
