 condorman missle fire  just got this in . been looking for this vinyl for years and finally won it not too long ago . my friend who does my yahoo bidding brought it to the sdcc for me to pick up . the little guy is from robocon and was my only purchase at the show . not much vintage vinyl at the show and i think there may have been more in my back pack than the whole show . did meet a bunch of collectors who i have known for years but never met so that made the show really worth it for me . the show was fun but it was like a system overload . that batmobile was bad ass !!

Very nice! I dig this character and I've never seen this before. Any chance you can post a shot of it next to the talker?

I have 16 5-inch Popy Robocon vinyls and I know I am missing some...
Plus, there is a Robocon with painted open eyes and one with lenticular (flickering) sticker eyes.

thanks turtletooth . the thing that sets this vinyl apart from the others is the eyes . very unusual that the didnt paint them in but put plastic ones in instead .

That is an incredible Condorman, congratulations Jim!
The eyes certainly make it an outstanding piece, and it looks like you scored one in fantastic condition. is it a Bullmark or Popy?
