    That Taigon is a beauty (and definitely on my wish list).

    Mark is that Ultraman Taro the removable mask type? Or just a jumbo? Seems huge! Definitely a spectacular mail day, all those toys are pretty nice!

    Fucking terrible.

    Granted, Sgt Slaughter's also an 80's icon I'd love to meet. But Elvira? Fucking ELVIRA???

    I don't give a shit if she's over 60...if I saw her in person, I'd have a hard time resisting proposing to her...

    Oh, sweet haul, Mark. ;)

    huh...huh...huh..."hard time"...
    She's 61 and she was gorgeous. I overheard one of the organizers saying she was a pain in the rear with special demands and such.
    Oh, thanks.

    A lot of nice stuff there Mark. I just got one of those lion maru boots also. Is that the one with the mask or without? Super jealous of that enterprise Taigon (isnt everybody?).

    And here was I was thinking you'd make a play on "...fucking Elvira..."! :razz:

    Of that, I haven't the slightest doubt.

    The Lion Maru is not removable mask.
    Thanks, everyone. I figured I'd never plunk down the money for an original Bullmark Taigon plus I have lately been getting into the "loud" paint on the Enterprise, Ark, and Orange vinyls and try to pick up ones I am missing when I see them a good prices.

    Thats a hell of a haul Mark! Glad someone started this thread, as Sanjeev's favorite posts were in the "what did you just get in the mail ?" in the show your collection section.

    :D That was the idea...I'd rather get lost in a sea of vintage pics than have to go looking for them in another section. That Astron is quite colorful^^

    Part of my backlog of photos I needed to take of stuff coming from Japan. This trio of Kamen Rider Arikimedes villain, Masudaya Ninja Arashi talker, and removeable mask Redman. I don't know what is going on with that guy's leg, as this is the position it gets closest inwards, and it doesn't seem to be warped noticeably or anything. No boots of course, but he was cheap.

    And some small heroes too. (The disc-dancing guys get me everytime :D )

    What a weird little cashern bootleg! You should be able to make a costume for the ninja arashi easily enough.

    If you have a hard time appreciating the size and detail of say, a neo gorilla from Ilu Ilu - these mid size Bullmarks would change your heart.

    Was thinking the same thing, SO ridiculous! You almost cant even tell its supposed to be Cashern. Love stuff like that. Steve, does you Arashi have his talkbox still? Ive been meaning to make an outfit for mine for a while, its harder than it looks. I used the standard one to make a template then upscaled it. Still couldnt get it right, prob just me though :oops:

    He has the talk box, and it even works! I was so tentative about pulling on the string, not knowing what could go wrong. I wasn't expecting that at all, especially on a 'junk' figure. But it is pretty sweet. No idea what he is saying though! :lol:

    I am going to keep my eyes peeled now for some fabric to make his cape, and if I come across anything decent, I will just buy a fair amount of it, to perfect the technique and share with anyone else that wants some too.
