Bandai Vintage Tin & Plastic Cycling Daddy With Box! 100% Original & Working

  

WHAT MAKES THIS "CYCLING DADDY" UNUSUAL IS THAT NOT ONLY DO YOU RECEIVE THE ORIGINAL BOX THE "CYCLIST" ITSELF IS IN PERFECT OPERATIONAL CONDITION. THIS IS BANDAI'S MODEL NUMBER: 4451.

L IGHTLY U SED I N O RIGINAL B OX. I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5 DECADES AND/OR HAVE COLLECTED ALONG THE WAY! HAVING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY.

95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. BATTERY OPERATED "CYCLING DADDY" FROM BANDAI IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE! THIS CYCLIST IS VERY CLOSE TO BEING IN SHOWCASE CONDITION AND AS SUCH YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO SEE ANY MAJOR DEFECTS ANYWHERE ON IT OR UNDER IT. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING IS STILL WITH THIS MODEL AND HAS SERVED IT'S PURPOSE VERY ADMIRABLY! THE BODY OF THIS CYCLIST IS IN ALL AROUND EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE.

THE TRICYCLE ITSELF IS MADE FROM BOTH PLASTIC AND PRESSED METAL. DADDY HAS A STEEL BODY COVERED INA RED SUIT. HIS FACE IS MADE OF PLASTIC AS IS HIS HANDS, FEET AND HAT.

YOU REALLY HAVE NO ISSUES ANYWHERE ON THIS CLASSIC "TRICYCLE" WHICH THEY CALL IT "CYCLING". RARELY DO YOU FIND ONE OF THESE THAT ACTUAL WORK! HERE YOU HAVE EACH AND EVERY FEATURE LISTED ON THE ORIGINAL BOX WORKING. RUNS/PEDALS IN A CIRCULAR PATH, 3. WAVES HIS RIGHT ARM UP AND DOWN, 5.

THE BOWL ON HIS PIPE LIGHTS UP RED INTERMITTENTLY, 6. STEERABLE FRONT WHEEL AND 7.

MADE OF TIN PLATE AND STURDY PLASTIC. ALL OF THE TIRES ARE VERY CLEAN AND ARE MADE OF METAL WITH NICE TIN LITHOGRAPHY. THE BACKPACK IS THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND MADE FULLY OF TIN.

HERE YOU ALSO HAVE NICE TIN LITHOGRAPHY. ONCE OPENED YOU HAVE SOME VERY MINOR AND SUPERFICIAL CORROSION LOCATED ON THE BATTERIES INTERNAL CLIP. ALL OF THE BATTERY CONTACTS ARE CORROSION FREE. THE "ON/OFF" SWITCH IS LOCATED ON THE REAR OF THE BACKPACK. DADDY'S BODY IS AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS ONE COULD ASK FOR. NO ISSUES EXIST AND ALL IS 100% ORIGINAL.

HIS SHIRT IS TIN PLATE AND HIS HANDS AND FEET ARE PLASTIC (LIKE A RUBBER). HIS FEET ARE CONNECTED TO THE TRICYCLES PEDALS SO IT GIVES YOU THE IMPRESSION THAT HE IS POWERING THE TRICYCLE HIMSELF AS HIS TINY LEGS GO UP AND DOWN WHEN THIS TRICYCLE IS POWERED ON. THIS MODEL WORKS AS DESCRIBED AND SO NOTED ON THE BOX...

SPEAKING OF THIS BOX, IT IS IN VERY GOOD ORIGINAL SHAPE/CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL TWELVE (12) STAPLES HOLD THE CORRUGATED BASE AND LID TOGETHER. NO ADDED TAPE OF GLUE CAN BE FOUND ON THE BOX. THE GRAPHICS ARE SHARP AND POP NICELY, GREAT DISPLAY BOX! THIS "CYCLING DADDY" WORKS AS FOLLOWS: ONCE YOU PLACE IN TWO (2) SIZE "D" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED) INTO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOCATED IN HIS BACKPACK, YOU THEN CLOSE THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND PLACE THIS DOWN ON ANY FLAT AND LEVEL HARD SURFACE AND YOUR READY TO GO!! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT ALMOST EVERY VINTAGE BATTERY POWERED MODEL WAS NOT DESIGNED WITH CARPETS IN MIND. IN FACT THE ADDED DRAG COULD CAUSE INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE GEARS SO PLEASE TRY TO KEEP THIS MODEL AND OTHERS OFF OF CARPETS! LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE BACKPACK IS THE "ON/OFF" SWITCH. YOU SLIDE THE "ON/OFF" SWITCH TO THE "ON" POSITION AND OFF IT GOES!!

THIS "DADDY" HAS NO BUMP'N GO DRIVE, BUT YOU CAN STEER THE FRONT WHEEL TO MAKE DIFFERENT SIZE CIRCLES.... TI TIGHT AND I HAVE NEVER DONE SO, BUT THE BOX CLAIMS THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE.

ALL THE TIME THIS "DADDY" IS POWERED "ON", YOU CAN SEE THAT HIS LEGS ARE MOVING ALONG WITH THE TRICYCLE, HIS LEFT ARM IS SWINGING UP AND DOWN (WAIVING) AND HIS PIPE LIGHTS UP RED INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A GREAT MODEL TO WATCH IN ACTION AND THIS ACTION WILL CONTINUE UNTIL YOU POWER IT DOWN OR THE BATTERIES RUN OUT! AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO!

THIS TIN BANDAI, VINTAGE "CYCLING DADDY" IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE! I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD.

I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THEY DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU THIS "CYCLING DADDY" THEN MY WORDS HERE. ALSO NOTE THAT THESE PICTURES DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!

THIS VINTAGE, BATTERY OPERATED BANDAI CYCLING DADDY, IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL AND A TIME THAT HAVE PASSED US BY. THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! A GOLD /RATED POWERSELLER WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND.

I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD A FEW RUN-IN'S WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS IT DOES PERTAIN TO YOU.....

AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN. THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION.

I DO HAVE TWO OF THESE IN VERY SIMILAR SHAPE/CONDITION. YOU WILL BE RECEIVING THE ONE LISTED ABOVE AND FEATURED WITHIN MY PICTURES AND WHEN THIS ONE SELLS OFF, I WILL TAKE A NEW SERIES OF PICTURES AND REVISE THE LISTINGS CONTENT. IT IS MY INTENTION TO LIST ONE OR TWO DIFFERENT MODELS EACH AND EVERY DAY (IF AT ALL POSSIBLE), OR UNTIL SUCH A TIME WHEN I GET BURNT OUT FROM DOING SO. IT MIGHT BEHOOVE YOU TO CHECK IN WITH ME OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN AND IF I WILL OFFER THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT WILL ROUND OUT OR COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION! THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE. IN ORDER TO VIEW MY LISTINGS IN A CONCISE AND ORDERLY FASHION, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT SMALL. DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE. THIS IS LOCATED JUST BELOW MY SELLERS ID AND FEEDBACK TALLY. THE VIRTUAL DOOR TO MY STORE HERE ON E-BAY! IN ORDER TO STREAMLINE YOUR SEARCH FURTHER, ONCE YOUR IN MY STORE, TO THE LEFT YOU WILL SEE A "SEARCH" BAR, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE JUST MY MODEL CARS, JUST TYPE IN "MODEL CAR" AND JUST MY LISTED MODEL CARS WILL POP-UP.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE SOME LP'S... I THINK YOU GET THE GIST OF THIS NOW! I HAVE A LIST OF CATEGORIES THAT WILL ASSIST YOU IN STREAMLINING YOUR SEARCH AS WELL. I HAVE JUST ADDED A NEWER CATEGORY "ANTIQUE/VINTAGE TOYS" TO HELP KEEP SOME OF THESE MODELS SEPARATE FROM MY OTHER LISTINGS HERE.
