Thanks for that info andy. I keep mentioning it in the hopes Flynn will take a pic of his for this thread.

Clear Thundermask is a bootleg. I think I have seen it with tinsel inserts, but not 100% sure.
Clear Rainbowman are both bootleg
Clear non-cyborg Kikaida is real, made by Takatoku (cyborg version by Popy)
Iron King with blue or green spray by Takatoku.

Well Brian I may be able to sleep better at night knowing I'm not crazy and that clear Thundermask exists BUT I'm sure it will haunt my dreams! Thanks for posting.

Wow, at long last!! We finally get to see an actual full-size photo of him. Thank you so much for taking the time to snap those pics and post them Brian. I second Lixx's [semi] relaxedness now that we have a documented capture of him in the wild. I really love the transitional colours on him. And the other are great too of course. Love clear guys.

New edition to my small cyborg corner. Need to take some proper shots/close ups of this clear Bullmark Triple Fighter but can't resist posting (sorry for the quick crap pics):
The person who sold me this was not kidding about the condition. No rubs, scrapes, or anything. Beautiful toy!

^And what a difference gold tinsel can make; it looks bloody majestic.

It's actually silver tinsel but the amber color of the vinyl makes it look gold, but yeah it really stands out.

Hell yes. That guy is just so amazing Lixx. You got a great score on him, and he is in perfect shape as you said. Such a beauty. I am glad you were able to add him to your collection. Looks just stunning with the yellow vinyl, light, and tinsel underneath. I am very jealous.

Super badass man, congrats.

That toy's fuggin' majestic.

Wow...thats one of the best looking clear toys ive ever seen. He wasnt joking about the condition either. Good call deciding to go for it.

Thanks guys! I could not resist the opportunity to own a larger clear vintage toy, especially one in this shape. I'm grateful for the offer from another SB member.

It's ridiculous to see paint that clean on a vintage toy.

*Gasp!* My dream figure!!! Amazing!
Congrats!!

Oh. My. God. That Zoffy is just.....amazing. I have not seen him before, but he has just moved into a grail position for me. He is such a real stunner. I don't know whether to cry from utter crushing joy or heartache right now.
A beautiful set Mark, congrats on a nice collection. The Godman is another one that you sure don't see too often. Oh, and it doesn't matter if we've seen them before, more pics are always welcome - at least that is my opinion on it. Every vintage figure has its own unique history, and each one deserves to be appreciated.

Spectacular shots Mark! Man that Triple Fighter is even more immaculate than the one I just got. I really want to own a Godman removable mask one day but that cyborg version is just out of this world. So hard to track down a regular one let alone a cyborg version. It's interesting to me that with the Godman they chose to keep the head normal as opposed to making the head clear for the Triple Fighter. Wonder why they did that? Zoffy is just pure mechanical joy underneath with zero human element.

Beautiful! really enjoy the inserts on Godman and Zoffy
Sun Oct 13, 2013 6:21 pm
Such beautiful toys, guys, and thanks for the great shots - showing off just how amazing these pieces are.
I'll have to get some nice shots of my popy kikaida. He's actually still bagged cause I swore I wouldn't open him until I took some nice pictures right after. Soooo, he'll be as fresh as they come... Well, still old, but damn sexy. Like that foxy raquel welch.

Here's a Popy clear Space Sheriff Gavan..
Tue Oct 15, 2013 12:13 pm
Very pretty. The clear and tinsel really work well w/ this guy.
Tue Oct 15, 2013 2:35 pm
Tinsel almost looks like wiring in that last pic Scott. Giving it more cyborg flavor. Very nice.

Just picked up this clear vintage 5" cyborg figure. The backer card says 透明人間 (Tomei Ningen - "Transparent Human").
It's unmarked, so the maker is unknown. The birthing hips remind me of Takatoku, but it has Popyish guts inserts with a Takara Henshin Cyborg vibe thrown in for good measure.
So some crazy frankenvinyl bootleg brew action going on. Anyway, I think it's a fun figure.
