As a kid, my grandparents gifted me a Jeek Tunneln for Christmas, on that side of the family I was one of eight, so I always ended up with surprising gifts I initially would question and later treasure, none so much as this toy.
The vehicle had no backstory but me being inspired heavily by daily doses of "Star Blazers" had a crew and a full story arc that summer.
I was shocked to discover that Japanese toy maker Shinsei actually did an elaborate comic book for each vehicle, describing the back story and what everything did. I didn't see this as a kid but would have enjoyed it.
I think I have a new obsession.
