Post Bullmark ID help
Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me tell if this Ghidora figure is a repro or not. It has the Bullmark logo on the left foot, and Japanese writing on the other that I can not make out. Any help will be appreciated.

it looks like the Bandai bullmark repro from the early '90s, but I can't be 100%.

I agree. Although the pics show the base vinyl a bit yellowish, the color is probably off a bit due to the flash. My 1992 Bandai Toho Kaiju series Ghidorah looks just like it except that mine is more orange vs. yellowish-orange. Total height to the top of the center horns is just under 9.5 inches on the Bandai TK Ghidorah.

An original Bullmark would not have such a distinct green on the horns, they would be silvery and would also have silver at the central lower neck area.

Thanks Chad and John.

I appreciate the info. I knew B-Club made some Bullamark repros; but I did not know Bandai did. This Ghidorah is orange, I think the flash did lighten the color a bit.
Oh well, it's a repro but it is still a cool figure. It's always nice to learn more about Bullmark items and their counterparts.

You are quite welcome, happy to help!
Actually, B-Club is a division of (... and the "B" stands for ... ) Bandai.
More in-depth info about all 10 of the figures in the Toho Kaiju series can be found on Club Tokyo at:
