In the Clear

In an effort to emphasize the "reality" of their designs, Japanese artists often create detailed cutaway views of robots, spacecraft, even giant monsters. And in Japan, where there's design, merchandise inevitably follows. For the last few decades, I've been quietly searching for vintage Japanese cutaway toys from the Seventies and Eighties. Above is a recent shot of the collection. Hungry for more? Patrick filmed an underground exposé on the very topic just a few weeks ago.
