POP 1 - This is the only example found in AFA’s population report (no others found in any grade)

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. 9 Honda City Hyper Turbo, purple in color, the basis for Skids. 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 an impressive overall 80 blue label grade including 80s assigned to two of the three subgrades. In their 25-year history, AFA has graded a grand total of ONE Takara No. 9 Honda City Hyper Turbo. The sole graded example was consigned to us by one of the premier G1 collectors in the country. A rare opportunity to acquire a true “pop 1”, and an important piece of Transformers history.  Encapsulated by AFA (80q, 75-80-80), #13973084
