 Re: Cyborg Clear
Clear Thundermask is a bootleg. I think I have seen it with tinsel inserts, but not 100% sure.  Clear Rainbowman are both bootleg  Clear non-cyborg Kikaida is real, made by Takatoku (cyborg version by Popy)  Iron King with blue or green spray by Takatoku.  Also, because i am an awful person and post with the easiest service possible, please check my instagram account for more toy pics. IG: brianflynn

 Re: Cyborg Clear
Wow, at long last!! We finally get to see an actual full-size photo of him. Thank you so much for taking the time to snap those pics and post them Brian. I second Lixx's [semi] relaxedness now that we have a documented capture of him in the wild. I really love the transitional colours on him. And the other are great too of course. Love clear guys.

 Re: Cyborg Clear
New edition to my small cyborg corner. Need to take some proper shots/close ups of this clear Bullmark Triple Fighter but can't resist posting (sorry for the quick crap pics):   The person who sold me this was not kidding about the condition. No rubs, scrapes, or anything. Beautiful toy!

 Re: Cyborg Clear
Hell yes. That guy is just so amazing Lixx. You got a great score on him, and he is in perfect shape as you said. Such a beauty. I am glad you were able to add him to your collection. Looks just stunning with the yellow vinyl, light, and tinsel underneath. I am very jealous.

 Re: Cyborg Clear
Thanks guys! I could not resist the opportunity to own a larger clear vintage toy, especially one in this shape. I'm grateful for the offer from another SB member.

 Re: Cyborg Clear
It's ridiculous to see paint that clean on a vintage toy.

 Re: Cyborg Clear
Oh. My. God. That Zoffy is just.....amazing. I have not seen him before, but he has just moved into a grail position for me. He is such a real stunner. I don't know whether to cry from utter crushing joy or heartache right now.
A beautiful set Mark, congrats on a nice collection. The Godman is another one that you sure don't see too often. Oh, and it doesn't matter if we've seen them before, more pics are always welcome - at least that is my opinion on it. Every vintage figure has its own unique history, and each one deserves to be appreciated.

 Re: Cyborg Clear
Spectacular shots Mark! Man that Triple Fighter is even more immaculate than the one I just got. I really want to own a Godman removable mask one day but that cyborg version is just out of this world. So hard to track down a regular one let alone a cyborg version. It's interesting to me that with the Godman they chose to keep the head normal as opposed to making the head clear for the Triple Fighter. Wonder why they did that? Zoffy is just pure mechanical joy underneath with zero human element.

 Re: Cyborg Clear
Such beautiful toys, guys, and thanks for the great shots - showing off just how amazing these pieces are.
I'll have to get some nice shots of my popy kikaida. He's actually still bagged cause I swore I wouldn't open him until I took some nice pictures right after. Soooo, he'll be as fresh as they come... Well, still old, but damn sexy. Like that foxy raquel welch.

 Re: Cyborg Clear
Tinsel almost looks like wiring in that last pic Scott. Giving it more cyborg flavor. Very nice.

 Re: Cyborg Clear
Just picked up this clear vintage 5" cyborg figure. The backer card says 透明人間 (Tomei Ningen - "Transparent Human"). It's unmarked, so the maker is unknown. The birthing hips remind me of Takatoku, but it has Popyish guts inserts with a Takara Henshin Cyborg vibe thrown in for good measure. So some crazy frankenvinyl bootleg brew action going on. Anyway, I think it's a fun figure.
