![]() zone fighter was kind of a breakthrough for me, as up to that point i had only collected kaiju. the dot com companies were almost dead, and prices on vintage toys were going back to normal. my friend john jackson had this on e bay, and i thought it would look good next to all the zone monsters. when i finally held it in my hands, i had an almost instant transformation into having to get more japanese heros. some of the zone kaiju were the earliest vintage i bought, mostly because i thought they were cool, and even better, they were cheap. |

Each one better than the next! Jim, was there a vintage Zikiro ("Jikiro"?)? I have the recent (I assume) glowie made by Yutari, but I'm wondering if there were any toys made of him previously. |

All of your toys are so clean. Disgusting. ;P |

The vintage Bandai mini is somewhere in my sale thread. It is NOT for sale. I am just lazy with my shitty photos... viewtopic.php?f=9&t=36610&p=556325#p556325 |

That is awesome mini pickup. I am always hunting around for these guys, but their relative unpopularity (and hence current scarcity) drives the price quite a bit. I thought I posted this elsewhere somewhere, but here is my Bandai full size. ![]() |

Removable mask I presume? Yeah that's the one I want eventually. I've had this Popy guy for a bit just got around to snapping a solo shot. He has standing issues so every once awhile I have to apply the heat. Ultra sometimes I think you're the only guy interested in my vintage posts. ![]() |

yeah i like seeing these posts as well- im not too much into the "heroes" but they are still nice to look at. i choose the vintage forum over any other here on skullbrain any day |

Post subject: | Re: zone fighter |
Yep, it is indeed the removeable mask version, though I am in need of one of the standard Bandai heads if anyone has a junk figure or comes across one in their travels. I really like this guy, it was a hard buy at the time, but his helmet spike really makes him quite tall, and he looks great among other dudes. |

Here's some Zone Fighter original art. The smaller two, I believe, are from some Cisco candy packaging. I have no idea what the larger one comes from. Colors are much brighter. My flash kind of wiped them out a little. ![]() ![]() |
