Takara Diaclone was the Japanese predecessor to the popular G1 Transformers line. The chronology was well documented in the beloved Transformers episode in Netflix’: The Toys That Made Us. We are proud to present the No. 19 New Countach LP500S, white in color (no yellowing), the basis for Prowl. Our example has been graded by the hobby’s leading grading service, AFA, utilizing their current three tier grading system that includes subgrades: it earned a very nice overall 75 blue label grade including 85 and 80 assigned to two of the three subgrades. In their 25-year history, AFA has graded a grand total of TWO Takara No. 19 New Countach LP500S. Our example was consigned to us by one of the premier G1 collectors in the country. This is a showstopper of a piece, one of our favorites in the Winter Auction! A rare opportunity to acquire piece of Transformers history.  Encapsulated by AFA (75q, 75-85-80), #12009642
