I walked over to S7 yesterday to pick up this pre-order: and just sitting there on a shelf, was a complete set of these guys---YOINK: I've really been wanting these guys and it was a total surprise. Thanks, S7!!!
This is the painting that got me super stoked for the set (by Joshuajh): Hey hillsy, you might know, are these straight re-issues from original Bullmark molds?
I think I recall the discussion as they were from Bullmark molds slated for release back in the day, but never actually released. I thought it was something to do with Triple Fighter not being all that popular at the time. Or my memory banks are completely faulty...
thats the correct deal on the triple fighter devils. i forget which catalog it was, but i saw a photo of an old bullmark catalog with images of these guys in it, but they were not released. vintage sculpts that were never produced, so these arent exactly re-pros, not exactly vintage either. amazingly cool figures, though!! ive seen a few other images of un-produced bullmarks, i think a few lion maru villains? anyone here know about those? these were going to go online, but i hadnt gotten their yet. today ill post up some other vintage pieces we got in recently. anyone here like tigermask?
they really are amazing...how often do these turn up? I know a set was up for sale in BST a while back...and now this one... these pop up fairly often?
awesome purchase! josh- have you worked on your monster alphabet series some more? would love to see them if you have!
the triple fighter devils dont pop up terribly often, but they are out there. if you want them, grab a nice book, and a mug of your favorite hot or cold beverage, get comfortable, and hang tight. these figures are absolutely worth the wait! on the monster alphabet paintings, they are still coming, but in line behind a few other projects.
