my goodness. that guy's either rich as hell, or he's gonna be pb&j-ing it until this time 2009. mmm....consonants.
What's crazy is that's not even one of the rare ones. A friend of mine recently was able to get a hold of his holy grail, one of only 3 known, for...$15,000! I'll stick to Real Head
that was actually located in my neighborhood (san carlos is just down the street). it's funny how we think these toys are so expensive when they're cheap compared with so many random "collectible" genres. they are pretty expensive for how recently they were made though i guess.
Technically this isn't vinyl, it's polyethylene (the stuff shampoo bottles are made of). SkullStar, are you talking about Tom Franck's Garada K-7?
Yes i am! I remember going on the first two trips to Japan back in '96 with him in search of this illusive toy. Ah, those were the days, no interenet, so you had to find your toys the hard way. Riding Japanese subways for hours and then walking around countless Tokyo streets searching for little hole in the wall toy stores....up hill... both ways... in 10 feet of snow. It was awesome!
Mike P? I don't think he went on those first trips. I'd say we probably don't. Nice to meet you here though.
