 What Yahoo sick thing is this? No idea and I have learned much from your banter!

They also have a green one up for 20,000 yen.

Someone had a pic of this guy in a thread...maybe the Ultraman villain thread.
Very cool though.

I scored a couple of these awhile back (clear and green versions). They are from ターゲットアース company. In person the figures are quite large and menacing. My clear one was supposed to have had a clear lilac sprayed tentacle nose, but it came with a pink nose instead. Interestingly, the pupils were not painted on in the clear version, but they were in the green that I got. I want to see more offerings from this company in the future...

Thanks for the info and glad I could help Frank.
Why do they cost so much?
Thanks for the pic hyper and I didn't get the name of the company. You can't google ターゲットアース .

If you get them factory direct, they can be had at a substantial savings...
I believe that Google will be of little use in trying to find more information about this company. Similarly, knowing the English name isn't very fruitful, but nonetheless, it is "Target Earth." Start with Yahoo Japan searches using the Japanese characters.
This is another of those companies that seems to lurk out there without a lot of exposure.

They were made for the monster convention earlier this year. They have done 3 colorways so far, we are getting a few wholesale. Not sure exactly which versions yet.

Thanks for the response Brian.
I appreciate you going out of your way to bring cool asian toys to America.
I get tired of going through middle men fees to get stuff from Japan.
