    The Inazuman is 11cm. All are Popy, except the mantis guy, which is a bootleg (of the original popy!).

    Thank you! I love Inazuman's eyes in your version--he looks very happy. 11 cm is a nice play size too :)

    Heres my standard size Popy Inazuman. He can also be found with the Bandai logo. I think it was around this time that Popy took over Bandais hero lines (or however the story goes). There is a S7 issue that shows all the known versions.

    Fist of justice!

    So am I correct in assuming there's no non-MFV/non-removable mask ST Inazuman??

    Thank you VivaHate and Sanjeev for posting your Inazuman. They are marvelous figures! Can't resist that deep deep blue too! :razz:

    Perhaps someone should start an Inazuman database?

    We did a story in Super7 that has every Inazuman known to man in it! I will find the issue number.

    There is indeed a 12" non missile-fire version of Inazuman, it is the same sculpt as the missile fire, but it does not have a removable helmet, even though the lines are sculpted into the back of the head.

    Thank you Brian. Can you please let us know which magazine issue it was, when you find it? If it's not too much trouble, do you think you could post a photo of your complete Inazuman lineup? I tried to search for this, but wasn't able to locate a complete lineup. Thank you!

    A gorgeous Bandai Henshin Ninja Arashi, unopened, with sword and papers! :shock:

    He quickly climbed out of my reach ending at 82500, but pretty amazing it survived all these years intact in his original bag!

    I saw the black mark on his nose and cheek and thought it was too risky to bid. Not sure if it is mint in bag or mint in restapled bag? I need that sword though..

    Definitely lovely...but I'm just not interested in bagged vintage vinyls because I'm just gonna open it up anyway! So paying the MIB premium doesn't make sense. But yeah, I don't know *anyone* who has that sword! :razz:

    Incidentally, if you DO have a loose figure and need a sword substitute, there's a company that makes 1/6 scale figure accessories, including Japanese swords. My buddy had a bunch and he hooked me up with one with a red scabbard like Hayate's! And they work great too!

    Nice, but very steep in price. Cool bonus (besides the sword) would be the header card and figure chart inside but not for that much. Incidentally anyone know a site online (besides the first S7 mook) I can check out the great header art on these old toys?

    But here's some help with Ninja Arashi, in particular:

    Oh man, 380円! Where I am going to come up with that kind of money? :|

    Thanks for sharing the images Sanjeev. I was lucky enough to see a Mashira in package once. Probably as close as I will ever get to these. I have to agree though - buying vintage in package is a double-edged sword. I just wanna play with my toys, and the premium is completely insane to me. The packaging is awesome, but it's really all about the toy anyways. I even hate to buy these, because I know I will open them, and that is potentially 'ruining' it for someone who wants mint.

    That Devilman is killer...but, yeah, 84k? Not so much...

    380, on the other hand...

    LOL

    That Devilman is such a gem.
    I haven't started to chase the minis.
    Price sorta makes one want to throw.
    Up.

    Well...that Devilman WAS a statistical aberration. I mean, I've picked up a dozen or so equally-worthy bagged minis over the years for little more than a song. Not that I wanted them bagged, of course--I definitely ended up opening them all! But the price was still right...no bagged premium here.

    84,500 for that Devilman is insane. A loose one is 15,000 yen or so. That is a price driven by the bag only, same with that Henshin Ninja Arashi. Times are getting a little crazy on Yahoo!

    that devilman is a knife in my heart.

    i thought i had it won and then someone swooped in at the last minute with that ridiculousness.

    the header is great, also that is the silver metallic spray version which is a lot harder to find then the blue metallic.

    Wow. I am not such a huge fan of tin figure toys, though some smaller wind-ups are fun. But I do love Perman/Paman, and this one is no exception. Looks like a really awesome toy, but at that price I am not heartbroken over the loss.

    Not an auction per se, but I know I know I was incredibly excited to see this guy pop up at Mandarake. One of those rare things that you know exists, but seeing it actually available for sale makes the blood rush a little bit more, ya know.

    [​IMG]

    It has been mentioned a couple of times on here before, and you can see the original catalogue photos back in this thread. One of those things, if only I had the money.... :) Someone got a great deal in my opinion.

    Oh my!!! :shock: I didn't think another one would exist! Thank you for posting that! :razz: Wouldn't you just love to zoom around on him? He might be worth it, if I could get him to move fast enough to commute to work on ;) . The next question would be, could he possibly support an adult's weight? (why do kids have all the FUN stuff!)
