    I meant to say that Marmit Ultraman sculpt is my all time favorite Scott. I have a glow version of it and proportionally it has so much appeal. Lots of versions of Ultraman get the head wrong IMO and that has appeal as well, but when I think of the show I watched as a kid this is the head that comes to mind.

    @Kingboy D - thanks Myles, I have been slowly trying to grab the Spectreman kaiju.. they are different but very cool looking!
    @XVivaHateX - thanks man! The kame bazooka is not old, made by Bandai in a series called ' wirepeople' , it was not expensive and i bought it because I haven't seen one before and I love the presentation
    @Lixx - agreed he is a rad ultra! I love the articulation with the arms

    @Alebrije - shocking story ... but look at that awesome gogi, really nice condition
    @Kingboy D - WOW what a haul ! So many wonderful bullmarks in there, and is that a boxed arc Baltan up the top ? Will you do an unwrapped shot of it all for us?

    @deafmetal , @Lixx ; I was really lucky that nothing happened to the figure in that package, in fact when I saw the package I thought it would be something else, it never occurred to me that they practically used an envelope for international shipping, it was until I saw the direction of Japan that I realized what it was.
    @scobot thank you:!:
    @Kingboy D congrats you received a great haul! :thumbsup:

    Thanks, guys. Here is the (mostly) vinyl portion unpacked. A mix of vintage and modern. The Jumbosaurus was one of my first wants ever. Can't believe it took me this long to get one. Need a fist, though, but I might seek out a repro. (EDIT - I was sorting through some boxes and found the fist - almost missed it and threw it out. I forgot it came with one. Bonus!!!!) The other main prizes to me are the two large Bullmark kaiju vinyls. The Ghidorah has great paint on the neck/heads (although not as perfect as it seemed in the auction photos). It is a major upgrade over the dull worn silver-less one I currently own. The Baragon had the most green paint on the face I had ever seen. As a matter of fact, I don't recall ever seeing another without the orange vinyl on the cheeks exposed. At first, I thought it might have been repainted, but I really don't think so. The whole toy is pretty sticky though. Hopefully a wash will help that. Anyone have any luck removing stickiness? I don't think I was too lucky in the past, even after a wash.

    Oh, and no Ark Baltan in this lot. I already have a couple in my collection. The smaller diecasts are a Gokaiser Giant, a Popy Etarnal Heroes Goggle V (only need a Godsigma now to complete the line), and a Bullmark Daibaron.

    For me that giant King Ghidorah hawaiian version it's the winner, the silver spray in the head and the dark green of the body it's the best.
    Congrats it's a great score for any collection! :thumbsup:

    Oh wow Myles, that is such an incredible haul! I totally love each of those jumbos (of which I will include the U7 too, superb toy :D 0, you picked up some real winners there. Really nice paint examples, as you pointed out; I don't recall seeing such a green Barry before either. (You know where to send that less-silvered Ghuy now you know :razz:). The big Popy is always such a treasure, even without the fist, so congratulations. And I pretty much turn to jelly for any Zaborger toy, but especially vintage guys. These are all great keystone figures man, very happy for you to have such a great family of toys coming in.

    @scobot Ditto! Super mail day for you as well. Sheer excellence with those bootlegs, particularly nice to see the dancing fellas in the omake-package styles. And that Ace boot is always adorable. Looks like you had some great success on the latest batch of hunts. And additional props for one of my favourite neglected figures, the elbowed Ultra. Lovely stuff, many high fives and cheers to you.

    Yep. Incredible haul.
    I recently got the Zaboga too. Beat, but love it.
    Was really warped nut heat straightened it all out.


    Long ago I got one of those big Bullmark Baragons.
    I opened it up to clean it and it was filled with old dirt and grass!

    Love the Giant Baragon. Not seen one with an all green head before. He's the perfect combo of goofy expression and texture.

    @Kingboy D - Such a killer haul. Love the jumbosaurus. I am very jealous of that one, as well as the two Bullmark giants. All of those are on my wish list, and it's exciting to see your specimens. Congrats on some excellent scores!

    I have some thoughts on the green paint on the Baragon. I have a couple Bullmark gojiras with a similar-looking dark green paint, and they were both very sticky. I think that dark green paint has not aged well, and seems to break down and becomes very sticky over the decades. In my situation, the paint had collected lots of dirt and crud as well, but I was able to clean the dirt and some of the stickiness using soap and warm water along with a toothbrush and soft cloth. Your Barry looks a lot cleaner than the dark green gojis I have, but the end result for me was clean paint with only a soft tackiness remaining. Fair warning, some collectors might consider it blasphemy to even clean the paint at all for fear of removing some of it, even if it's sticky.

    Thanks, all. Much appreciated. Sorry, I've been running around like crazy prepping for the hurricane. Looks like a monster bearing down us. Just a momentary respite to get online before forging on. See you all on the other side of the storm!

    ^ those are really cool

    @Kingboy D really great haul myles. love both the giant size. I need to replace my giant baragon someday, he got damaged in shipping when I bought him. The jumbosaurus is insane, glad you got one finally. I know youve been wanting one for a while. Hope you weather the storm ok. Im pretty glad I moved out of florida.

    Finally caved on an opportunity to get my foot in the door on a Bullmark Mechagodzilla Cyborg. No hands, launchers, or missiles, but more than enough vinyl to tower over all my other MechaG's on the shelf. The spray colors are just beautiful in person:

    Now beginning a life-long quest to source the missing pieces. Please let me know if you spot any junkers for sale. ;)

    Very nice Mark. Even with the missing parts it's such a wonderful vintage piece.

    @Alebrije @chimply.kaiju - Thank you, and I completely agree. Although this cyborg has seen some battle, I am really happy that it includes the tail in excellent condition. Many of ones I see are missing the tail, or it is bent over to one side.

    Congrats on scoring this toy in ANY condition, for sure...but for real...why the fuck would someone gut ALL of the launcher mechanisms???

    @Sanjeev - No idea. I thought it was really bizarre myself. Hopefully, the launchers might be the easiest parts to source from a junker.

    @deafmetal great pickup! Thats one of my favorite toys. I bought mine a few years ago missing one of the hands. Im still looking for a "junker" with an extra hand. Last one I saw ended up going for like $200. Even the M1 reissues are expensive now.

    Very nice paint - at first glance, I thought it WAS a reissue! Congrats.

    @Alebrije - Roger, it's always great to see that vintage toy arrive in any form! Is it the darker vinyl color like we thought, and not an all-over paint? Congrats on an excellent adoption. I really like the look of this one with the dark color and silver sprays.

    Thank you Mark, I’m very happy with this New Goji, it’s the darker vinyl color with silver spray and I think it has a good amount of silver in the shest.
    I let you a better photo for comparison.
