    That Jirass might be the craziest thing I've ever seen.

    There are others, an Eleking, an Ultraman, and maybe one or two more I can't remember. They're all in the Bullmark Story Book hardcover.

    There's a book that shows one, I might have it. It shows the Eleking disassembled in pieces in someone's office.

    I remember the other one they made, Gomora. Someone on Toybox DX said there used to be one in a store there, and after it closed the owner kept it on their porch.

    oh yeah - i seem to remember that story about the gomora. something about it deteriorating outside. i've seen the famous vintage photos of these figures with the kid crawling on it - it would be cool to think these survive someplace. I wonder if they were one-off's.

    I really don't know. I can imagine that only the larger stores would have been interested in them.

    The Jirass was in bad shape. Cracked back and stuff. None of these big displays seem like they were designed to hang around for decades.

    There is a Gomora that currently resides in Hawaii. It is still in pretty good shape even though it had been kept outdoors for years.

    The Gomora is owned by a collector in Honolulu. It was mentioned in one of the back issues of Super7.

    Not the biggest nor the most expensive, but somewhat large and kinda pricey; a set of Yonezawa Mirrorman walkers.

    This may be dumb question but are those large pieces that kr posted articulated? I mean they look like they are but you never know.

    I just saw a variant of the middle guy, the Bullmark Mirrorman, on kt and he looked kind of cool. It wasn't the giantsize but the 9inch one.
