He's just as mysterious as BigFoot himself. I would love to know more about this toy! Love the sculpt.
They were sold at the International Wrestling Association in Shinjuku, first at their local store (I believe) and then at the online store a little later, sold out since a while. 4.5" tall.
only 4.5 inches! not exactly what I would call BIGFOOT! I was hoping they would be like Ollie Sized! That would rule! Kind of cool as a fighter size but not as interested anymore. Thanks for the info!
I love anything cryptozoology. So if I saw one of those for sale I'd definitely pick it up. I like the sculpt on that guy. EDIT I found them for sale, but a forwarding service would be necessary to buy one. http://shop.iwajapan.com/items/117037
actually that size gives him a ton of character and makes it super easy to take around and enjoy it on the go. I really like the size and its probably one of my favorite parts about it.
I have the original. I kind of want the green one too but I just don't know if I need another one despite loving the toy. When it comes to getting doubles I look at it as I could get something completely different that I don't have a version of already. I do like the color of the green though.
Lulu has the dokidoki festival release on preorder right now, it would be great if someone posted some pics of the previous versions to bring this up to date.
Might as well throw the other IWA toys in here too. These were the "original" colorways of both the Abominable Snowman and Death Worm. Lulubell carried them at one point. Hinomaru-ya seems to still carry them. Exclusive set sold through Hinomaru-ya last year. GID vinyl. The original and only (so far) colorway of "Scary Gomu-Ningen (Rubber Man)." Has an extendable arm. Lulubell sold them last year, Hinomaru-ya still carries them. The Lulubell exclusive GID set from this January. Aaaaand Lulubell's page doesn't let me copy image url, so I'm going to just say visit their page to see the newest version of the Bigfoot.
And lastly, the newest version from the Osaka Sofubi Festival! No Deathworm to go with this one. Shame, would have been pretty neat!
This was a line I tried to collect and it just got very difficult to find. My lack of Japanese knowledge and cumbersome ordering methods has made it hard to keep getting these. I need to set up a lulubell alert for these. Great toys that look even better being from the wacky IWA characters.
