Looks like I can get my hands on a talking Spectreman, but I wasn't sure if there were re-issues or not since this would be my first talkie :D

Any help would be super-appreciated!

98% sure its a re-issue. They have one at Toy Tokyo for like $250 or something outrageous like that.

Yep, reissue.

Hmm, so $60 ain't a bad deal then :D

easy way to check is to look through the holes on the back, and if the talk box is green, its a re-issue. If the box is flesh color, its original.

$250!? Chiii-rist...

None of the Masudaya reissue talkers should run you over $100. Spectremans (Spectremen?) generally run around 5-8k on Y!J, so $60 is definitely a solid deal.

250? Yikes! Must be a one-off that tap dances.

@CCP- Try out the talker. If it doesn't sound like a chipmunk 60 bucks would be a steal.

Yep reissue. Oh I'm a bit late :lol:

It's great anyway. And there's also Gokino Zaurus in this line, reissued as well (1st pic at the back).

Got it in today - box was green, still, not a bad deal. With shipping and whatnot it came in around $65-$70. In excellent condition and still works :D No idea what he's saying, though...

Nice score! The artwork on the back of box is worth it alone.
