Re: Bootleg Thread
Are you looking for anything in addition to the stuff that Scott posted Don? I would love to help out with cataloging anything I am able to. I am still awaiting the kickstarter to bring your Powerpoint presentation into a feature documentary!

Re: Bootleg Thread
Keeping on the Jumborg Ace track, here's another one. A loose version was shown a few pages back. Here's what the packaging looks like:

Re: Bootleg Thread
That is really nice artwork, and I love the imperfectly offset printing on it - reminds me of reading comic books (when they were worth reading). Great figure Andy. How do you display all of your figures in packaging?

Re: Bootleg Thread
Makes sense. Japanese homes are not really well suited to collections of any sort! Oh, and Don, I have zero regrets about wanting this to come to fruition. We all love and are appreciative of your efforts on the bootleg story. I hope you are also backing that stuff up. We can't lose such history to the electronic ether by some unfortunate event.

Re: Bootleg Thread
I meant to post these two boot Zone Fighters in the thread, here you go: The one on the right was mis-listed in every possible way so I literally watched it from August to November drop from the original 8000 yen YJA price tag to 3000 yen before buying it

Re: Bootleg Thread
Even though andy already posted this guy I like the way this photo turned out so here's one more. I have the solid version of this guy on the way as well. Surprised how soft this one is...almost fishing lure type material.

Re: Bootleg Thread
I was really admiring that shot on flickr. Really nice close up. The vinyl looks so milky clear. I don't think it's the same type of clear vinyl used in say the Popy clears. I'm salivating waiting for mine to arrive this week

Re: Bootleg Thread
Hey Sanjeev, It's a bootleg of a monster from Megaloman. See this thread for the, brightly colored, original by Takatoku: http://skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=46274&hilit=megaloman This boot and a Seabozu and Vakshimu were released in the early '80s and could be found at cheap novelty stores like Spencers. This is a rare example of where the original way out-funks the bootleg. Hope he did not pay much for it because these guys are common and dirt cheap.

bootlegs are kind of charming in their own way.
