Date: Unknown. Described by seller as new old stock (ie. brand new and mint, but stored for many years in a warehouse), but quite likely a contemporary replica.
Country: Japan
Where Purchased: eBay
Cost: I think ten bucks plus shipping, but I don't recall.
Notes: Tin with litho illustrations. Sparks. The box has a UPC label and a label that says "COLLECTABLE ITEM NOT FOR CHILDREN ! AGES 8 AND UP" which is what makes me suspect it's a new replica and not an actual vintage item. Also, the box graphics are printed on a separate label and applied to the box, rather than being directly printed on the box. Still, a nice-looking raygun with fantastic 3-colour graphics on the box.
