City Patrol Van - Robot Changers
Originally designed by MARK in Japan and released for their Robo Car line as, 'City Robo', MARK also brought this figure to the West via Select seeing it distributed as the Convertors Mini Bot, 'City'.
The MARK Robo Car release included black windows and 'Turbo' front quarter panel stickers that were supplied on a separate sheet.
Some MARK packaging boxes were crudely translated into English, some as a box re-design and some partially modified with stickers. Notable is the Italian release via GIG, still also branded MARK where this figure was re-titled, 'City Turbo'.
MARK later re-released the same model now painted black and white for their, 'Rescue Robo Car' line. The newly added door sticker showing Japanese text reading, 'Metropolitan Police Department'. This new version features an emergency dome light on the roof.
In Europe
MARK also released Wagon for their Robot Changers renamed to, 'City Patrol Van'.
City is mostly diecast metal and based on a Honda City Turbo.
