looking to get into more of these vintage vinyl figures - i particularly like the 2 legged human/humanesque ones like the tigermask figures i started the other thread about some searches i have done are moonlight mask ultraman (the results here are overwhelming) barom-1 (i just missed out on a sweet clear figure with guts) that tiger headed guy with the lightning bolt who's name i can't remember can anyone suggest more searches for me? |

The tiger head guy with the lightning bolt is Tiger Seven. If you like human/monsters (kaijin) try Kamen Rider villians. I think they belong to an organization called Shocker in the series. There are a whole bunch of these with really cool animal/human combinations. They are quite pricey, especially the minis by Popy and the giant size by Bandai. Bandai also did them in standard size but be sure to get the boots and belts. If you thought the results for Ultraman were overwhelming, just wait until you see those for Kamen Rider. |

A not-so-vintage series I'm really digging is Bandai's Soul of Sofubi line....lots and lots of Tokusatsu in it. |

Here's a catalog/poster shot of the Kamen Rider villians by Bandai. Don't know if the ones showing pictures of the actual costumes were all produced. Are these the kinds of things you were asking about? |

380Yen for those guys, huh? I'll take 'em all, thanks! But for serious, who is that bat-winged fellow? |

Sorry, can't help you with the names of any of these guys. Don't collect KR. Just way too much stuff out there. I've noticed that on most catalogs the characters name is usually written in Hiragana instead of the usual Katakana. Probably because they were intended for kids to use to bug their parents with to buy them the toys. |

I believe Marusan has made a relatively inexpensive repro of this figure and I also think there's a Marmit para-baby of this figure which should only set you back $20.00 or so when it comes up here or on YJA. |

All of those figures were eventually made as standard sized kaiju. Back issues of S7 have articles on Barom-1, Inazuman, Fireman, Jumborg Ace, Tiger-7 (the tiger lightning bolt dude) and more. You can check them out, or track down Yuji Nishimura's vinyl book. Or wait for the next mook after ths one with a big hero section. |

also, the spider (Otomo) is much cooler than the bat. Anyone have the standad size spider they want to get rid of? |

I love the Bandai '70s Kamen Rider standard sized and giant-sized bad guys. I have about about a dozen but need more. |

Those are awesome! Are they vintage? The sheen makes them look like so new they could be mistaken for repros. I love the pink guy with spots and a fedora on the right. What's the story on him? Hard to find and expensive??? (please tell me so - if he's really difficult, I won't even bother trying to get him which would be a very good thing for my wallet). |

the Kamen Rider villains from the first 12-13 episodes are hands down some of the coolest villains ever that catalog page of vinyls is giving me a boner |

the gekko kamen are all vintage . these vinyl require a lot more patience than money . dont think i spent more than $100 on each and most were mib . they are made by bandai and carry the old label . im thinking they are very eary 80s but could be wrong . |
