This was probably the very first figure I purchased from Super7, a long, long, time ago. Can anybody here tell me anything about it? Likely vintage, etc. Thanks!
Hawaii version - which is very common. It's pretty common to find them still sealed for $120 bones or so. Lose about $80-90.
It may be relatively common vintage but I love that toy for the brilliance of the monster and the, well, vintage-ness of that colorway. I guess this is common knowledge but the colorways for the Blobpus Hawaii and Tokyo issues were inspired specifically by this toy. The colors remind me of a lot of non-kaiju oceanic toys from the late 60s / early 70s, such as you'd find at amusement parks and seaside gift shops.
Yeah, it is a cool toy. I was mostly trying to pin down about when it was made. If it was in the early '70s, that makes it 30+ years old. Pretty awesome when you think about it. It is not an "antique" or anything, but does have some history at least.
just so happens it was either my first or second vintage piece i ever bought - those being gandar, pegasus and metron. followed by micrus. i agree, it's a very cool piece and one of the reasons I'm hooked on vinyl.
