    Yes it's a Marusan original kajiu, Baron. The vintage versions are in the Kaiju Korner photograph; there was also a reissue in the late 90s.

    I just saw one of these lovable kaiju sell for ¥10,000 on YJA. Looks like quite a lot of fun!

    Thanks for the responses, folks. As someone who knows nothing about the world it vintage sofubi, it can be a daunting task.

    How can you tell if it is an original or a reissue? I almost got one mandarake a week ago but it slipped through my fingers...

    Thanks for posting that! I forgot to save the link, and was curious about the end price. Cute creature! The type you take out for walkies with a double leash, and they would slobber over passerbys :razz:

    In my limited knowledge on vintage I have not been able to tell the difference bet the red original and the red reissue that came out in the 90's ? Anybody knows ?

    I would think the reissue should have updated stamping? Marusan usually updates the copyright year on their stamps. Based on these photos from Mandarake the vinyl color and sprays are pretty close:

    OG?

    Reissue?

    Also, could anybody confirm this is the reissue below with header/insert?

    The header for the reissues says "Marusan Creative".

    Also, some of these never had foot stamps to begin with.
