What I love about that Astro Mu set is that the bubble actually appears to be stapled to the card! That means one could carefully remove the staples and take out the toys without damaging the card.

Also, that MG is killer, Myles!

Really cool bagged Shine Alien from Silver Mask. Man I'd love one of these! Familiar winner:

Yeah, that is a really cool one. While I don't care about my toys being packaged, it is so nice to see (and have) the artwork for them. Quite a nice figure, I can see why it fetched a good price.

Backing card was interesting as well:

Been lurking on the vintage forum for a while but just signed up...

In case anyone was wondering aaz** (and whatever the account was that kept winning everything before that) is indeed mandarake; the turn around from them winning the auction to it turning up in their glass cases at 2x the price is pretty quick, too...

^^^
Really? So oku*** and aaz*** are both Mandarake? Figures.

man those 2 bite my balls sometimes

These two went for big bucks. They look like some latex toys I had in the 80s.

Yup, oku and aaz

This one was tough to let go. I was going to make this guy a peg leg. Timing sucks...

AAZ OKU same? Ok, that makes sense... In a " I hate you and would own so much more $hit if you didn't exist kind of way".

Oh, a peg-leg on that beast would have been KILLER, too...

Why is that guy with the missing leg so expensive? what the heck would be worth with a leg?!

Heres one that sold last year for about $10,000....so yeah this one was a bargain.

Don't see this Giant Marusan Ultraman come up too often:

Yep, I was watching that auction. Have always loved that big guy, quite a different sculpt of Ultraman, and any of big eyes are great, but when you throw in bendy elbows, I am completely sold. A really nice price too I would say, I am surprised it ended so low, even with some condition issues. Wish I could have got in on that bidding.

I just read the prices on some of these!!! Holy crap!! Makes me want to dig through my moms basement!!! Not to sell, but preserve( haha. Me sell stuff, haha)

Randomly stumbled on this one the other day. Thought maybe id give it a shot since I love lone wolf and cub.....

That is really cool. I actualy haven't seen too much LW&C merchandise, but also stumbled upon something the other day too. This would have been really cool, but yeah, an easy pass at that price. If he was in a fighting pose, or with the cart, that would be even more stellar.

Here was a bit of a doozy that ended yesterday; and surprisingly not bought by either of the Mandarake accounts. Not that high prices for tins are shocking, or even new, this one just has a lot of appeal to me for being Ultraseven and also having the vinyl head, so I was keeping on eye on it.

Bonus Edition: this removeable mask Father of Ultra I would have loved to be able to pick up (and Lixx too no doubt).

Damn, that Lone Wolf & Cub is AMAZEBALLS.

Had to requote this. This is fantastic and unreal.

More Astroganger

So who is this? At first glance, I thought it was a Kikaider KO. But it is an official Bandai product. I really dig it, but unfortunately this specimen has marker all over it in a crude attempt to replicate the traditional Kikaider style.
