this missle fire red baron went for 83 000 yen . this vinyl i rarely ever see . wish it was in a box on the way to my house .

keen ! Love this character

Mmmm.....Nipple Baron....

really rare small doublas figure . never seen it before . that makes 3 vintage doublas vinyls that were made . auction ended at 48500 yen .

Carded set of Clover Xabungle vinyls:



It tasks me, it tasks me! I'm tempted to buy it because the price isn't bad, but then 1) I'd be tempted to de-card it, which is blasphemous, and 2) I'd be tempted to collect the rest.

Probably just best not to bid. ;p

I can't remember the third vintage Dabulas vinyl, but I'm pretty sure it's not this. Which would make this number 4. Not sure if these are supposed to be pencil toppers or finger puppets or what. I'm assuming they are in fact vinyl anyway.

the header says finger puppets.

I saw that yellow doublas as well, it was news to me. Very cool. Now my Inazuman is haunting me, wish me luck....

this triton of the sea kaiju went for 38500 yen . much cheaper than i thought it was going to go for . thanks for posting the finger puppets dave as those are new to me . watching the inazuman with a lot of curiousity brian . really hope you win .

On first glance I thought that perhaps these were some sort of AM5 helmut or something? Running a translation on the auction didn't provide much insite either. Anyone?

saw that this morning . no idea at all but also felt it had a nakajima look to it .

That's the rubber "monster womb" that comes with the Popy Big Scale Battle Shark from Battle Fever J:

Every episode it would give birth to the monster of the week. It's normally stuffed with little erasers.

damn ,that was quick roger ! toybox dx is a great place to lurk around and find a lot of facinating stuff .

bandai inazuman sold for 291000 yen . probably still the only piece brian needs for his inazuman collection . sorry it didnt work out for you brian .

For the unitiated, what makes this particular Inazuman so pricey? Simply rarity or hard to find in good condition?

I would imagine most of them got their antenneas chewed off by little japanese kids in the 1970's.

Gorgeous piece.

the bandai inazuman is just one of those stuipidly rare pieces that you just never see . my heart goes out to you brian as i know how badly it sucks to lose an auction like this .

really need to come up with a new way of saying " never seen this before " . cant be sure but it really looks like a takoda sculpt . anyway , i got smoked on this auction as it went for 61500 .

The fact that these Transformers are vinyls only makes them marginally cool.

But didn't you just buy that little vinyl Jetfire? I could have sworn that I saw it in a thread recently...

Oh, you silly goose.

(Actualy, you just gave me an idea for a custom if I ever get another VF-1S.)

i think there were a few larger transformers vinyls too that were pretty cool. i lost a few auctions for some years ago, but eventually stopped collecting transformers, so i havent looked for any in a long time.

I'll have to start looking for these. I wasn't aware of any TF vinyls other than the talky ones released a few years back as a JP Botcon (or some-con) exclusive. Those might not even have been vinyl, but they looked like it.

Those talky ones were vinyl, I'm pretty sure, and I saw some on my last trip but they were pricey.

The minis pictured above, on the other hand, were plentiful. Mandarake Umeda had a bunch of the Optimus Primes and Galvatrons loose in bags for about 800 yen each. I think they were originally sold in a boxed set.
