I love Tiger Mask & Those old vinyls are sweet! Skull Star is so awesome.
I have been meaning to ask..
I had this HUGE Tiger Mask Figure in the mid 80s that I have been trying to find again but can't remember who made it..
Heres a decription:
Window boxed
15-18 inches tall
soft goods outfit
it had buttons like vintage Kung Fu fighter dolls that whould activate kicks and punches
most of all I remember it had articulated fingers
Anyone know this version? If you own it please post a pic or info.

I really like Skull Star. Is this one standard size? What could I expect to pay for a standard size one?

most of the tigermask figures with boots will cost you in the 6000-8000 yen range each on yahoo japan
this one is standard sized... about 10 inches or so... maybe a little more
don't pay more than 8k on a skullstar i would say - maybe this one though. it looks extra nice! haha
if you get the guys with capes and other accessories the price goes up quite a bit

 Re: Tiger Mask
There are far more examples and updates around if you look online but all Tiger Mask fans should really love this if they haven't read about it already: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Mask ... phenomenon

 Re: Tiger Mask
If i could afford vintage these would be on top of my list, stunning collection! Really nicely presented with the artwork too.

 Re: Tiger Mask
Damn, I am so jealous. The Tiger Mask's are a personal favourite of mine. If you end up with some roughed up duplicates, hit me up.
