Popy - Figure - Popy Chogokin GA-97 “GLAGUE” (Grag) Captain Future Diecast Figure, Complete in Box, Made in Japan - Metal, Plastic, Styrofoam

Description A rare opportunity to acquire an original 1978 Popy GA-97 “Gleruge” (グラッグ / Glergue) from the classic anime series Captain Future. This iconic Chogokin die-cast figure is highly sought-after by collectors worldwide, and examples in this condition—complete with original styrofoam tray, accessories, catalog, and instruction sheet—are becoming increasingly hard to find. Gleruge features the classic 1970s Popy die-cast metal construction, vivid chrome parts, and mechanical design that defined the golden era of Japanese robot toys. The bold red torso, chromed legs, and transparent blue visor remain visually striking, making this a highlight piece for vintage anime and tokusatsu enthusiasts. This set includes multiple interchangeable hands, red translucent accessories, shoulder parts, and original paperwork. A genuine piece of Japanese collecting history.
