Is there anything worse than a vintage and delicate G1 Transformers toy floating around loose in it's original box?
Up for sale is a
reproduction Transformers G1 TANTRUM bubble w/ repro card inserts so toy
can be displayed securely as close as possible to how it originally
came off the shelf. Includes inner spacer bubble which secures figure in place inside outer bubble.
NOTE ABOUT INNER SUPPORT BUBBLE: The correct "factory" placement of the inner bubble is the SHOULDER (see pic above) NOT the hip/hind leg. The bubble was clearly molded to fit the hip/hind leg but for some reason they chose to place it on the shoulder instead (I have confirmed this by looking at several factory sealed examples of the figure). You can put it on hind leg if you choose but the correct factory placement for a MISB toy is the shoulder!!
Card insert(s) are
white (originals were more of a grayish color) but they look great. It
is up to you how you want to attach the bubble... I usually use a
combination of packing tape and paper clips to still allow access to the
figure. But you could certainly glue it if you want to.
NOTE: NO TOYS OR ANYTHING ELSE INCLUDED. This listing is for reproduction packaging to display your figure.
Pandemic
stay-at-home orders gave me some free time so I decided to make my own
vaccum-forming rig and try my hand at reproducing Transformers
bubbles. I've gotten pretty good at it and have since upgraded to an
even better machine. There might be slight webbing in intricate areas
and minor imperfections carried over from the original bubble, but
overall they look great and display the toys very nicely.
Please
check my other listings for more G1 bubbles... and just because it's
not listed doesn't mean I can't do it. Please get in touch. I can
currently do almost the entire 1985 catalog and am working to acquire
more stuff from '86 and later. Please send me your entire wantlist and I
can try to do a custom listing for you.
WANTED:
I am very eager to add molds to my catalog. I am looking for 1987+
Powermaster, Targetmaster, Headmaster and Pretenders bubbles and also
hard-to-find inner bubbles for figures like Gnaw and the
Predacons. If you think you might be able to help please get in touch
and I'll try to make it worth your while.
Please e-mail with any questions. THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!
