Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Thank you for the correction Mark! Daniel, I feel the same way about windups. Wouldn't it be ultra fun to have these guys zzzzzzzzz-zing all over your desk? It would be so neat to see them in action!

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

I think it´s a Bandai Mazinger-Z, very beautiful piece but the price is too high for me. Sold for ¥257,600 in YJP.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Only about 3" tall but so steep...

Little guy is beaten up even more than I usually like, tiny as heck and went for 15k. Mebbe this is normal, but it seemed high, while I admit that I really loved it, just couldn't dig that deep.
BTW, listing said it was a Kamen villain, but it looked more like some early AM5 bad guys as far as style goes. One of you care to tell me what's up with this guy?

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

I thought the belt was a "kamen" denominator too (heh), but the weapon and face really threw me. Thanks for clearing that up, still, I had no idea that it would run so high.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Wow. They are very cool and funky little guys. Thanks again!

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

These KR V3 minis are very hard to get -15k is not a bad price

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

thats pick-axe shark from V3. In terms of villain design, I think thats my favorite rider series.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Wow! What an interesting villian Was Mr. Shark ever produced as a standard size (i.e. Chameleon rider?) .

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Not that I am aware of.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

You guys that know all this stuff never cease to amaze me. Just wanted to say thanks for all the knowledge.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Nope, none of the V3 villains were made in standard size, just mini and four jumbo size. Medicome made some of them in standard size recently, but no shark guy......yet.

Rare rare! ★ 56cm height Astro Boy Soft Vinyl 1960 ★

I think it's like a crossover of two different figures, the torso looks different than the extremities.

Vintage Bandai Cobraman Hand Puppet - minty in bag!
Ended at 28100
At first I thought he was a finger puppet, but an expert, pointed out to me that this is a hand puppet. Nice toy!

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Oh Damn I missed that ... Ive been looking for this one for so long . only 3 in the set they originally retailed for 280yen

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Can you please tell me what the other 2 hand puppet characters are? Is one of them the Chameleon Rider?
...yeppers, we definitely need to find someone to build us Mr. Wizard's way-back machine!

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

You can see all three at the top of this page.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

^^^^
...those hand puppets are so much fun! Some one should bootleg 'em and add a torso and legs you can detach.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Thank you Wayne! Can I please ask which catalog that is?
I think I like the Cobraman hand puppet best. The snake on his hand is so cute, it's hard not to laugh, instead of being terrified (would make a great cat toy!) . Wish they made a Chameleon hand puppet, that would be ultra cute!

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

It's the Yuji Nishimura Treasure book, here's Wayne's pic:

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

I have that book! Mark K recommended it to me!
Thank you Chris, I'll have to go home and have another look through. It's just hard to not want to drool, when you flip through the pages

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

I must admit, I have a weakness for windup toys....


Bullmark metal windup King Ghidorah, ended at 18000
I wonder if the wings are plastic or if the entire toy is metal? This must be a really fun toy to see in action! Not only do the wings flap, but it looks like the chompers on all three heads move too! Those mouth parts look very delicate.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

That's not a windup - its the Bullmark Bullpet Ghidorah. The body is diecast, the necks and tail are rubber, and the wings are plastic. No, they don't flap. They just fold up. I will post pics later when I get home tonight.

EDIT: Just found this pic on my phone. Here's most of the Bullpet gang:





BTW, I believe that both of those KR hand puppet villains were up for auction at the same time.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Awesome score, Grace!

Yeah, that Bullpet King Ghidorah is a favorite of mine, too. Like a fine metal sculpture...that happens to shoot missiles!
