Yeah, I saw that. Definitely the most I've seen one sold at. I want one but could never fathom spending that much.

Seriously, I mean if you where a US buyer and had to use a agent service this would be well over 5 grand.

Who could even afford to spend this much on a toy, let alone a production release.

I would think that's some fine shillery in action, but there are a lot of people out there who like this hobby and have a lot of money. I've seen toys end much higher than this, although none of them modern.

That looks like someone who posted an auction, shilled it up, and will probably list 4 more next week to get inflated amounts.

That being said, I have a goga to trade for that "skulletor" one...I doubt anyone has one but you never know.

i think so as well, maybe the seller got greedy as every seller on yja knows who this big whale is and thought he would continue to chase.

Another large-price sale. And the winning bidder seems to be buying every one that is listed lately, regardless of price. I thought this toy was high when it was around $500-$700.
Does anyone know if any buyers are still able to purchase one of these direct without YJA?

I contacted a Japanese bike shop that was at one time selling Bemon Balls. They referred me to the Official Bemon YJA auction page, also adding that the Bemon are very rare, and aren't produced often.

*Bemon has been labelling the release numbers for the painted version only and not including the blanks. So for now I will keep it that way. the labelling of the number is not on the figure itself. it is on the header.
although numbered 30, it is certain that not all runs are really 30 pieces. some are much fewer than 30. the blanks were never sold publicly and does not come with header so they are indeed un-numbered.

Green blank exist. No picture. At least 2 exist.

Blank black. Was not publicly released. At least 2 exist. Don't know the actual release date. Pic from a blog which was dated December 2010.
Image

Blank mix color parts. Limited to 9. Released December 2010. It is known that number 8 was auctioned directly by Bemon on YJA from their feedback from buyers.
Picuture from Andy's Kaiju Korner blog dated May 15, 2011 as a sale from Mandarake Shibuya.
