Very nice. The Spectreman episodes with Nezubirdon really stuck with me since I was a child. I was elated to find a CCP reissue of this vinyl.

Jim, if you find out what movie/TV series the Marusan is from, please post info. That is such a cool sculpt.

I LOVE the 2 headed rat. I remember seeing that for the first time at Day Old Antiques about 13 years ago and lusting after it so bad. By the time I was ready to take the plunge several months later, it was sold, Those were pre-internet days and I figured I'd never see one again (I didn't even know what it was called and still don't). As luck would have it, about 6 years ago, as I recall, one showed up on ebay for an excellent price (I've never seen another) so i grabbed it (those were the days before I knew about YJA) - I have never really cared about rareness or value - and I'm guessing this is somewhat hard to find on YJA but certainly not super rare - nevertheless it's one of the absolute favorites of my collection (and this is one of the figures that hooked me on japanese vinyl when i use to stare at it on the shelf at Day Old).

I'll just add that if anyone else really loves this figure - it has been reissued - i think it cost about 5000 yen. I'm not sure but the reissuing company may be CCP or masadayu (sp.?) - anyway, keep your eyes peeled because the reissue is an inexpensive way to get this figure.

Whoa! The Ymir lookalike is wild.

Image the blue version of the marusan original is in this pic somewhere . marusan originals were just that . original . marusan didnt want to pay the license fees so they came up with thier own monsters sometimes loosely based on exsisting kaiju . the 2 headed rat from masudaya really isnt that expensive so expect to pay about $100 for a nice one .

Image the blue alien to the far right is one that i have been waiting years to get . from a really crazy show from the 60s called kaiju prince . its about a boy whos plane crashes and ends up on a island . he befriends a brontosaur and with a boomerang quickly dispatches evil aliens . very strange and obscure show .

Wow Jim, the new pickups are pretty amazing. I really like that blue guy. Sounds like my kind of show!

Jim introduced me to that show and it's a really incredibly wacked out show.
Really creative and bizarre, Board members should try to locate some episodes to see for themselves. You wont be dissapointed.

Kaiju Prince had designs by the original kaiju creator for Ultra Q, Ultraman and Ultraseven, Tohl Narita. Check out his designs if you can, they are evil.

Image found this pic which has the brontosaur from the kaiju prince series . this is the red version . a green and brown version were made as well . the hero was also made so that makes only three vinyls that were made for that show .
