This pic is stolen from the CKA blog. Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that a purple king wanda bottom towards the left:

Is that an original or a reissue by yamanaya? Or is it a custom?

So it is a reissue? I'm going to have to add that to my list.

It's a reissue in the technical sense. Tsuburaya EP reissued Mirrorman kaiju from the Bullmark molds in the very late 70s/early 80s (not sure on the time). I consider it vintage and it typically runs several hundred dollars when it shows up.

EP eventually became Tsuburaya Communications, which became Yamanaya. As far as I know, this is the reason that Yamanaya can sell reissues of the same toys.
