Gundam Super Combination DX Gattai Set – Clover – 1977

Box:

ST Zanbot 3 Clover 1977.

OK, so this is the CROWN JEWEL of inflatable Japanese Robots. Behold the Clover Gundam…

I’ve had very little time recently to spend on the site, and have been feeling guilty about not sharing content with you guys. I mean WHO ISN’T busy as hell these days? So, I give you this half ass attempt at content ;). I uploaded these pics a month ago in hopes of writing a review, but alas that’s not going to happen anytime soon. So, boys and girls, I present you with the “DX Daily Money Shot”!!

Just a quick rundown. 1982 made in Japan by Clover. Very simple transformation. The robot itself breaks down into two separate vehicles, the Bungle Skipper (top) and Bungle Rover (bottom). As a kid I totally loved this transformation. I wasn’t lucky enough to be rollin’ the Clover as I was more of a Royal Condor type guy.. Did you any of you guys get that??? Har har..

Please visit HERE for more information on Clover and other toys in this great line over in our Datafiles, authored by our very own Lennon/McCartney writing team aka Alt/Duban.

I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer! Enjoy!
