    I dig that Zaboga. Simple, but classic. I see that he is suffering from some of the bubbling in the vinyl that a few of the cheaper bootlegs often have. Doesn't detract from his awesomeness at all of course. Most of the cheap versions I have picked up are action pose, sans bike :lol: Does he not have the Popy mark? It is unusual for the minis to be fully articulated, if at all. He looks like he might be (mold-wise) but judging from the paint at the joints I am not sure. Put me out of my misery. :)

    He's fully articulated. So maybe he is a bootleg? This is not my area of expertise. Bullmark maybe?

    except that it clearly says Bullmark (ブルマック) on one foot and P. Pro ピープロ (the license holder) on the other.
    not a bootleg.

    Yeah there are lots of bullmark's with the written word rather than the logo stamp..

    Here is that machine hawk rider with the bullmark Zarborger riders. Its interesting that even in this set the bullmark logo is in a different spot on 3 of them - some with the logo and some it is written with no logo.

    Well I never claimed to be an expert on vintage and can't read Japanese. I just assumed that the Bullmark logo was on all of their toys.
