Well said drano. Josh you were wise to hold out for this one. It definitely has the vintage proportions thing going on. The more stylized recent takes are nice, but there's nothing like that oldskool oddness for charm.

Great addition to your collection, Joshua! As I also have one of these Masudaya reissue figs, let me know if you need help getting the voice box to work as there are some tips to know about that I learned along the way...

Also good score on the Tsuburaya book shown in the background, it has TONS of nice info and pics about the tokusatsu grand master !!
