HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY, VERY RARE VINTAGE, TIN & PLASTIC, YONEYA (AKA YONE) CLOCKWORK DRIVEN, \"CRAZY CLOWN WITH HEAD WIND MECHANISM\" WHICH IS FULLY AND PERFECTLY OPERATIONAL AND HAS IT\'S ORIGINAL BOX WITH ALL OF IT\'S ORIGINAL PROTECTIVE INSERTS. DO NOT CONFUSE YONEYA WITH YONEZAWA ... THIS IS A COMMON MISTAKE, BUT, THESE ARE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT JAPANESE TOY COMPANIES! LU&FWIOB = LIGHTLY USED & FULLY WORKING IN ORIGINAL BOX.I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5 DECADES! HAVING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KIND LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE YONE CRAZY CLOWN IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!THISCRAZY CLOWN IS IN EXCELLENT TO SHOWCASE COSMETIC SHAPE/CONDITION WITH A SHINY FINISH AND GREAT GRAPHICS FOUND THROUGHOUT THIS MODEL. ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE DONE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY WHICH MEANS THAT THERE HERE TO STAY! THE CAR ITSELF IS IN ALL AROUND EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE ONLY SIGNS OF ANY USAGE WOULD BE THE DRIVERS HEAD! HERE YOU DO HAVE SOME SIGNS OF PLAY WEAR AS THIS SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A TOY THAT WAS PLAYED WITH AND HERE IS WHERE YOU ACTUALLY WIND UP THIS MODEL! THE CHASSIS IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION AS WELL AND SHOWS EVEN BETTER THEN THE BODY! THIS TOO IS MADE OF TIN AND HAS NO ISSUES.PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS CRAZY CLOWN IS NOT BEING REPRESENTED AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK). IT HAS BEEN PLAYED WITH, BUT, IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY. OTHERS WOULD EASILY PASS THIS OFF AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) AND IT EASILY COULD BE AS WELL! IT\'S REALLY THAT NICE....THE WHEELS AND TIRES ARE MADE FROM PLASTIC AND SHOW NO SIGNS OF PLAY WEAR.THE REAR WHEELS PROPEL THIS MODEL WHILE THE FRONT WHEELS ARE CONNECTED TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND MAKE THIS STEERING WHEEL POP UP AND DOWN WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING.... THIS CAN NOT BE STEERED.THIS CRAZY CLOWN IS RELATIVELY SMALL IN SIZE AND MEASURES OUT AT AROUND 4.50 INCHES (11.5CM) AND IS JUST ABOUT 2.25 INCHES WIDE (5.6CM).THE ORIGINAL BOX IS IN SHOWCASE SHAPE/CONDITION. THE COLORS STILL POP NICELY AND THE COPY AND PICTURES ARE STILL CLEAR. ALL OF THE EIGHT ORIGINAL STAPLES ARE HERE AND HOLD THIS BOX TOGETHER WELL. YOU HAVE NO ADDED TAPE OR GLUE!THE CLOCKWORK DRIVE ON THIS CRAZY CLOWN IS VERY STRONG AND UNIQUE! AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE KEY IS THE DRIVERS HEAD. IN ORDER TO WIND THIS UP YOU MUST TURN HIS HEAD TO DO SO.... AND THEIRS MORE!! THIS CAR WILL GO FORWARD AND THEN BACK UP... ALL THE WHILE THE HEAD IS TURNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS POPPING UP AND DOWN. YOU ALSO HAVE AN ENGINE NOISE AS WELL! THIS IS THE ACTION OF THIS COOL VINTAGE CRAZY CLOWN! THERE IS NO SLIPPAGE OR SKIPS WHAT-SO-EVER WITHIN THE CLOCKWORK MOTOR! AS OF THIS LISTING, THIS IS THE ONLY YONEYA \"CRAZY CLOWN\" LOCATED HERE ON IN ANY SHAPE/CONDITION! ADD TO THE FACT THAT THIS ONE HERE IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION, FULLY OPERATIONAL, HAS IT\'S ORIGINAL BOX WITH ALL OF IT\'S ORIGINAL PROTECTIVE INSERTS AND YOU HAVE YOURSELF A REAL KEEPER! BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON E-BAY. AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY \"THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION\" OR , \"I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED\". THIS YONE CRAZY CLOWN IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE! I AM SURE WE BOTH DO NOT WANT ANY ISSUES HERE AND THIS IS ONE EASY STEP TO AVOID ANY!
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE.
