Marker writing on vinyls is a price killer...

Actually, to me it looks like three of the horns are broken. That plus the aforementioned marker can chill the price. On top of that, the seller is in Hong Kong and there's negative stigma attached to them among some Japanese toy collectors.

I bought a standard Micras (Bullmark issue, perfect condition) at Mandarake 4 years ago for 12,000 yen, and that was pretty cheap for the time. Dunno how that holds up as a price check today.

They're not hard to get. Keep searching eBay and Yahoo Japan if you're looking for a nice vintage one. It's been reissued a couple of times by B-Club in different colors. You'll probably come across those when you're searching.

B-Club also reissued the giant-size Micras toy, which I really recommend if you like the character design. It looks almost identical to the standard size one, only bigger.
