Want to thank Bryce for selling me this, and Tim who sent me detailed templates of the visor and head gear. Big thanks to my bud Corey who used his talents to make those pieces.

Great figure! Love the pose and design.
Was he a mascot for a product or company?

I remember this guy. I think I recall Tim saying it was a pharmaceutical company mascot? Visor looks good.

Yup...Mascot for a Japanese pharmaceutical company. I think Ed knows the company name.
These pop up from time to time on yja albeit not complete. I think I just did a search for "japanese mascots"


Anyway I'm so glad he went to a good home and fantastic job on the restoration. So cool.

Totally sweet figure, and excellent work on the reproductions! People coming together to share the awesomeness of a Japanese design like this - SB at its best. :)
