    Nice! I remember these... I don't think I ever had one as a kid but I remember the commercials for them. :)

    Thank You very much for this unique video. Is it possible to disassemble this toy to see difference between japanees and US versions for inner parts? Also as I could notice, the front wheels' axle is adjustable, is it right. Please make some more videos to see how does this car overcome obstacles? It will be very interesting. One more question: when You showed all japanees models I saw the very unique model also from Galoob The animal Xtendor with extendable tire tail. Had it also been available in Japanese production line or only US?

      Hi! First off thank you. I made this video and a second one as well. In the first video was all the information I could find that was available. I could not even find a Japanese commercial for it either. At the moment it is buried in a box in the back of storage so I wont get to it for a while. Maybe i'll make a third video and we can inspect it closer. As for the Extendor all I found was the picture no current toy listings for it at the time of filming. I don't know much about the line except for knowing the Animal toy back in the States when I was a kid. So when I saw it and read that it was called The Tiger Paw I thought it was a cooler name than the mere Animal name. Again, maybe in the future I can make another video. Check out the video where I test it in the park at Early Dawn in a Japanese Park! Thanks for Watching!

      @@decepticonzerora Thank You very much I have just watched it. Very attractive. What I am interested mostly in US and Japanese models is the construction of inner parts. In original US models there is a long axle with two worm gears: one for rotating back weel axle and another for front. And what is bad in this engeneering design, is that when the toy comes to an obstacles, the main axle worm gear gets apart from the wheel axle gear, in the result, the teeth are usually get broken. I alsօ own some of them, and have changed these gears many times because of the breakege some of theeth of the gears. But looking in Japanese version, I suppose that engeneers have corrected that issue(I don't know how, but it seems corrected), making more stable the contact of those two geats. Also they made front wheels horizontaly adjustable. I am eager to see the inners of these models. So I am impatienly waiting for Your next video and hope it will not let me wait much!!! There aren't any other user to show such unique toys' review in UA-cam. Thank You one more time!!! I saw one on ebay japanese seller selling taiyo tiger paw, but it was too expansive and I coudn't buy it... So I am looking for cheeper versions...

      No, sadly these will probably never return to stores.
