Post Original Vintage or Reissue?
Once again, I come to you all with a question. I picked up this Gyaos figure a few years back...which I think comes from the "Nitto Kawada" line {Does anyone know much about that group?..which I think also includes a Gamera, Barugon, Viras...but I have not seen a Zigra or Jaiger before.}. I have seen pics of the Slash reissues and they look very similar to the vintage ones. Does anyone have both of the figures so that they can be compared? Please let me know what you think. Thanks. :)

Pretty sure this has been discussed a few times before. There is a Gamera, Barugon, Gyaos, and Gappa in the Kawada lina. All have been reissued by Slash Company in original colors as well as a multitude of vinyl and spray combos (but no GID :( ). There are no markings on the reissues and they are very difficult to tell apart from the originals, especially from photos. It appears to me that the reissues have "more" paint on them.
