Re: Vintage Mail Day
One of my own new 'loved' toy additions, a Bullmark Agira. Combining all things Ultraman, which I love, with dinosaurs, a second passion, make it a toy = bonus, and then vintage on top of that, well, this figure just amounts to a whole lot of greatness. This [not-so] little guy has seen a lot of action - in fact, I think he might have been 'unearthed' from some childhood adventures, but with some careful paleontological excavation to free him from his fossilized remnants (and good bath) he is al set for some new adventures.

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Very cool figure. I agree wholeheartedly - I love the dino/kaiju crossover. I think that is why I love the Bullmark King Zaurs so much. Of course, you can trace this all the way back to Goji himself, and so many along the way!
(I also realized how good everyone's pics look and how bad mine always are. They seem so good on my phone, but when blown up on a computer screen... And here I thought my iphone 6 took good pics. Ugh!)

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Good score ultrakaiju had something in the head that catch your attention, I think it´s the classic style colors (the contrast of de orange and green). Congrats!

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Thanks! Was that the Eleking from Mandarake a little while back? Man, I was so angry and kicking myself for just missing him, when I gave it a moment's thought too many. But I am glad [if it is that one] that someone nice adopted him. Love it, a great Bullmark, cool character, and I love this colour version. I also remember doing some research once on a toy with that same "T" mark that was being discussed, but I can't recall if I was ever able to identify it for sure. I will have to do some re-reading. I just love those pachi wind-ups though, what an amazing find. Even if the figure wasn't so fantastic - which it completely is - the box art alone is a treasure. Great to see it. Though now it means I have still more toy hunting to do.

I have never shopped Mandarake. Bullmark Gorbagos - the love child of a rock and a rooster. I love how it looks like it just devoured a goat or something with the red all around the mouth.

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Congrats Rakiko nice piece, besides I was watching on the card that was made by Bandai. I remember watching a few episodes of the anime, but the characters suffer a lot.

Re: Vintage Mail Day
That giant JJ is cool. Didn't even know about those or more precisely haven't actively looked for one. Giant + vintage= always cool no matter what. I don't know anything about iphones but I hear they take really nice shots. Maybe it's the lighting? Maybe get it in a more lit up area and turn the flash off?

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Excellent trio Paul! And even nicer that they came through excellent SB linkages. I really love those dinos, and am always kicking myself for passing on Gabara. They look like they are all set to do some giant monster rampaging on Duplo tower.

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Wow - I love the Big Eye. I've wanted that one for a long time. I finally got the Enterprise Taigon that sort of matches it but the Big Eye is the one to get.

Re: Vintage Mail Day
Oh man, that Enterprise Big Eye is killing it! Seriously amazing toy, I love red vinyl base nearly as much as flesh, and the colour choice for paints is perfect. I have always loved the sculpt, but this particular version makes me weak at the knees. Fifty vintage high fives on that score!
And the fingerpuppets are completely underrated and adorable. It is a shame that they never took off more to become popular (so that we could subsequently have more to chase down now). Thankfull Bearmodel did some versions as well, but man, I really like the vintage fellas. Another great pickup, congrats man!
