I don't have my B-Club giant size reissue in front of me, but that printed name on the foot under the Bullmark logo makes me think that it's a reissue. The paint job on it looks different than mine, though.

How tall is it? Is it about 9 inches or is it taller?

The stamp on the foot on the right says "Bullmark" but the inked stamp below it says "Bandai."

The other foot says "Giant Micras."

Thanks for that. Man, I suck. I was trying to figure out that stamp with my katakana chart for five minutes straight and gave up. There is no hope for me.

Looks like it's a B-Club reissue, then. The last time I was in Japan I saw those going for around $100-200. Does that answer your original question, jaylay?

It is a re-issue.

I collect original and remake Giant-Sized vinyls.

The original is supposed to be a high-ticket item, isn't it?

Chad, maybe you know this. I keep thinking there was 2 color versions of the reissue, a darker brown and a lighter brown. Am I dreaming? I just cant remember!!!!!

I've never seen a variation on the vinyl color, but if you look at the pic jaylay posted and the one in my f/s thread (see sig), the paint jobs are different.

Awesome! A fellow TF fan on the boards! Looks like you're in Hawaii too, from that phone book...

Thats right, I kind of remember the two paint schemes were what was different. Thanks Roger!!

My memory is that the giant Micrus was re-issued twice - (B-club/Bandai re-issued many of the giant figures 2 or 3 times in different colors schemes). I recall this because I had been hunting for the giant micrus in hte late 90's and it was impossible to find - then I remember finding out it had been re-issued and I had another chance at it. I'm not 100% sure that it was re-issued twice but that would account for the slightly different paint schemes.

So now that that mystery is resolved, does anyone want to buy mine? ;p

(So far it's been put on hold for three people who subsequently backed out. I'm beginning to think that it's cursed.)

Seriously, don't worry about it. It will probably still be here at the beginning of March.

Besides, if it really is cursed you don't want it anyway. ;p

Even the more recent B-Clubs I saw during my last visit to Japan were deeply discounted. If anyone hits up the Wave Be-J store in Kichijoji, they'll find some glow standard Micras reissues for about 2500 yen, IIRC.
