Candy X: The Morinaga OX

At long last I have managed to add this beautifully tiny Zero-X plastic model by Morinaga candy of Japan to my collection of SWORD miniatures. Packaged in a neat square box it comes in various parts and snaps together easilly. The grey heatshield and engines, together with a sheet of neat transfers, complete the model. Who needs the candy when you get toys like this!

Very nice and congratulations Woodsy on adding a sought-after piece to your collection! Was this a premium that came with candy, or was the toy marketed on its own?

Thanks CS and yes, I'm sure Morinaga was a candy company. My own was missing the sweetie but it is quite old!
