U5-C Rapid-Firing 6-Shot Missile


Uni-Five solicited seven separate accessories for their Jumbo Machinders in the 90's, however I believe only three were actually taken to market. The U5-C is a fairly accurate copy of the Popy XX-3 Rapid-Firing 6-Shot Missile accessory, comprises of two Three-Missile "hands" that could fire by depressing a button for each "finger".

All the U5 accessories came in black boxes. The accessory was originally packaged in a stapled bag with the missiles hanging from a small header card (presumably the missiles could be purchased separately but I haven't seen them available that way).
