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. :)

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!)

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). :D
Congrats!

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. :P

I feel the same - the orange / green combo works so well.

No, the Eleking is from YJ. 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.

Thanks, guys, and congrats, DW. Its funny to put it next to another figure and see just how large its hands and feet are.


Bullmark Earthtron. I always liked this color scheme better than the brown one, but this also seems to be harder to find.

And some pre-cleaning shots of both, trying to get the flash right.

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.

Finally got the time to take more pics of the giant-sized JJ. I just can't get good shots! Really thought the iphone would take better pics. Pretty upset at the inability to get anything in focus.

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?

Thanks to Bryce and a huge thanks to Rogan. Been wanting to pick up a Gabara for awhile now and now that I have one in hand, I love it!

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. :mrgreen:

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.

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!
