Jumbo Machinder Collector Tom Franck

At an early age Tom Franck knew his toys would some day be more than play things. Becoming more selective, as the years went by, as far as what he collects, rarity soon became paramount throughout his collecting journey spanning decades, collecting primarily Jumbo Machinder. His extensive research along with journeys to Japan and due diligence would eventually
lead him to obtaining one of the most elusive toys on earth, that toy being a Jumbo Machinder, Garada K7. With only a handful known to exist in the world, Tom shares his story on how he obtained one. Tom also delves into the history of Jumbo Machinder, his encounter with Go Nagai, Jumbo Machinder forgeries and much more.
