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%. |

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. |

More in-depth info about all 10 of the figures in the Toho Kaiju series can be found on Club Tokyo at: http://www.clubtokyo.org/listings/itemListingRpt.php?catID=1&subCatID=2&contentID=643 (since ClubTokyo does not allow hotlinking, copy and paste the URL above to a new browser window or click the link and then hit Enter on the Address box when the new browser opens). |
