XZ-38 Disintegrator
I have been digging into what seems to be an infinite number of box's and plastic tubs over the last few weeks desperately searching for 2 small Remco monsters action figures that seem to have slipped from this dimension to the next.In the process of sifting threw some 15 years worth or better of accumulated junk I stumbled upon a stack of forgotten cd's one of which was this
When I bought this Foo fighters cd originally I didn't really think to much about the cover but my older wiser eyes of today immediately locked onto that ray gun and I knew I had to delve deeper into the origin of the image.
The gun on the cover is the Buck Rogers XZ-38 Disintegrator Pistol by daisy made in 1935.
Toys from that point in time are completely out my field of expertise but I know cool when I see it and this gun has it. The XZ-38 Disintegrator would look perfectly at home displayed with my beloved Big Loo (that I will never own) or with pretty much any other scifi robot display.Looks like Im adding another inpossible item to my want list.

ReplyDeleteI may actually be the proud owner of one of these very soon with a little luck.Is Brian a classic scifi collector?
DeleteI am! Or at least I try to be.
DeleteI've seen a few of those atomic disintegrators before but they're always a few hundred bucks--way too steep for me--but I'll find one at a yard sale one of these days. ;)
Ha yeah Im trying to be as well, the prices make it easier to look and not buy tho.With your yard sale luck I really wouldn't be surprised if you did find one.
DeleteGood luck on the hunt my friend. : )
DeleteThanks! If my brother is correct there is one of these sitting in a case at a local dumpy antiques store well with in my price threshold,tho last time he gave me a lead he sent me on a wild goose chase for a Great Garloo the turned out to be an extremely over priced Mattel Krusher :/
DeleteWow...I never put that together and I've seen that cover about a zillion times!! Good Post!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Im the same way, I never once even thought about what was on the cover before the other day.Its crazy how something can be right in front of you and you never see it.
