The Story behind the toys.
UFO Commander 7 was a set of 7 very highly detailed and high-quality, die-cast Metal toys (with some plastic parts) produced in Hong Kong by the Japanese company Shinsei in 1976. A set of seven toys were produced, a flying saucer, two robots and four, armed and caterpillar-tracked construction robots. As it is often the case, they were not to the same scale.
After their planet Mahabaras was destroyed by alien fiends, they were the sole survivors of the destroyed planet Mahabaras, doctor Piyuri Hakase, surviving only as a brain linked to its spaceship computer and his two robotic friends, the powerful Vulcan I and the scholarly Brain III.
After their world was devastated by alien fiends, they escapes to Earth in the spaceship Blue Silver. There, Hakase, appearing to them on Blue SIlver's screen, alllied himself with three earth kids, the young japanese boy Tetsuo, the african Biri, the blonde girl Karen and Edison, a dolphin genius able to speak.
With the help of Valcan, Brain and their mining and construction robotic vehicles, they set themselves the goal to protect our planet from the aliens who invaded their world and who are now threatening the Earth.
I have obtained full sets of ALL 7 models; watch out for my other adverts (shown in the final photo).
