Re: Vintage Mail Day
Nothing too exciting: I love that Kamen Rider vintage toy book they're standing on also. I desperately want to magic eraser the Triple Fighter but I'm afraid to. My g/f got 'not mr clean' magic erasers and almost took the paint off a vintage toy a month ago. I always do a tiny test on the bottom foot and it was some ghetto brand magic eraser that looked like it might strip.

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Thanks to michael's toothpaste trick I got most of the scuff/marker marks off. Added bonus- you lose the musty old vinyl smell

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Great stuff Chris. I really like the Rider pendant, I have the blue chest version. You should be able to clean most of those scuffs with the eraser, the part id watch out for is the silver spots. Im my experience silver comes off easier than any other color.

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Sweet haul indeed. So I am judging that to be the large scale triple fighter? Awesome pendants too, I am missing nearly all of the chains for mine.

He's on par with the removable mask Redman (also by Bullmark), Bootleg removable mask Thundermask, and the Marusan Ultraseven. Taller than standard but not quite as big as say Jumbo Bandai Thundermask. I like that he has red eyes painted on the mask. Most of the one's I've seen have been that light blue color. Yeah all my pendants came with pretty nice chains. I've discovered they can be tough to display, but what I do is clear the area and slowly lower the chain to the space directly behind the toy. Otherwise it's dominos if I try to just put one in there and drop the chain in.

Super cheap toy originally, I also felt a little stickiness where a sticker was for the belt buckle. I like it, it was pretty cheap, never really saw one before.

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Nice Geekabilly. I love how a lot of the Bullmark heads look similar with the exception of hair color. Although I read somewhere (can't remember where- maybe Amazing Toy) that the heads were sculpted to look like the actors portraying the character. I know Ultraman Taro looks different, and when you get into Bandai removable masks the heads are always different it seems.

He's a little beat up, but I've got a Kikaider now! 8-ish inches of unknown maker goodness.

Re: Vintage Mail Day
I think that Kikaida is made by Takatoku.

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Went to the Pittsburgh Toy Show (aka the Steel City Con) today. What a waste of time. What is this world coming to when more guys line up to meet Sgt. Slaughter than Cassandra Peterson??? Anyway, I digress...Came home to this package waiting for me in the rain. Not a bad day after all.
