I'm assuming that Taigon is a reissue - is it? If not, holy shit! If it is, do you have some more info on it - which show was it released during, number, etc. - I love Taigon and assuming that's a reissue - I'd like to hunt him down. If it's an original, I think I'll use the money to remodel my kitchen instead
its an original 2nd issue from a different company that purchased the rights. about 2 years after the green 1st. and you better do your kitchen.
those are some really incredable vinyls kr ! i was fortunate to see most of those in person . a lot of the booska stuff can be seen in the super 7 article . the taigon was re issued by enterprise i believe in the early 80 s .much cheaper than the bullmark version but still going to set you back $700 to $1000 . still , its one of the best looking standard size vinyl kaiju ever made . mostly what i remember kr s collection for is the huge amount of really cool " cute " vinyls and the big influence those had on me . i have him to blame for the rocky chuck bear i won on yahoo . the amount of kamen rider villians he has is also just insane . thanks for sharing !
Just curious but it is produced by a second company, then wouldn't it be a reissue regardless of the time lapse. I think both Arc and Enterprise used the bullmark molds for the mirrorman kaiju. I had it explained to me once, but i still forget the difference between arc and enterprise.
ps the taigon goes for a bit more now. and is just as scarce as the bullmark.in my opinion better looking to.
never gets old seeing all those kamen rider villians ! the only complete set of standard size i know of in the U.S . thanks for posting the pic of your rocky chuck collection . reminds me i need to look for the fox . hey kr , have you ever seen a vinyl wearing a cloth vest that looks like a weasel or maybe a red panda ? there is also a green kappa looking female character . they might be yokai . ever seen those ?
wow ! could you please post a pic of those ? if you ever come across them on yahoo please let me know . do you know who made them ?
actually it goes for less then jim stated. the last one did not break 50,000 and was in very good shape. I agree the red one is awesome looking, but to say is almost as scarce as the bullmark is very inaccurate. It is not even close. Even with cash in hand you would be lucky to find a bullmark one and seeing the price would easily be over 5k.
the kamen rider villains are among my favorite vinyls ever - one of the reasons I got into collecting these things. Thanks to an amazing girlfriend who got me one for Xmas (with the kind help of Mr. Flynn) - I now have 2. Only 31 left to find
