Re: Killer Bs: give it up for Bandai, B-Club, and (neo) Bull
Although some of the B-Club stuff can be hit or miss in terms of quality (mostly the earlier stuff) I have to say, this giant Triple Fighter is on par with any of the great examples from M1 or Medicom. Really exceptional quality vinyl, stunning paint, and a great reproduction in the talker style. And size, wow, I knew he would be big, but he is indeed massive. A hefty hunk of a beautiful toy. Lovin' this guy.

^^ Wow, impressive! That is a true beauty. Gorgeous design & colors!!! Proportions are perfectly toyish too, and it's a giant?? Congrats

I am not exactly sure why they decided to make the villains from the same HH set a smaller size, as he doesn't really match them; but I'm happy just to have a talker version of a Triple Fighter.

Re: Killer Bs: give it up for Bandai, B-Club, and (neo) Bull
Eat your heart out all other lesser toy figures. This is one giant of a beast, and a massive love of mine. It's not like me to fall so hard for an unpainted figure, but flesh vinyl is the one thing that can do it. I don't really know much of anything about him, since he is a sculpt from the original Bullmark giant Red King mold, but I believe could have been actually issued later in the 80s, possibly as an anniversary figure/store exclusive. This is all circumstantial interpretation/guesswork on my part. If any of the vintage folks or anyone has some information to bring to light on him, I would love to hear it. He is not of the Bandai/B-Club era, nor is he part of the 80s giant sized line (different original RK sculpt in that one). Anyhow, a smoldering piece of glorious flesh vinyl, standing at an enormous 35cm. No Tokyo Tower - not sure if he ever had one - but such beautiful detail as only Bullmark could have done. I wish my camera could have captured it better. I just love his bulk and chubby stance; great head and sculpted armour. Pseudo-vintage or whatever his history might be, this is a lovely toy, even for someone who has a thing for all Red King sculpts.

Re: Killer Bs: give it up for Bandai, B-Club, and (neo) Bull
I wonder if that is one of the 1983 flesh bootleg Bullmarks. I don't know if Red King was one of the molds used. See this thread: http://www.skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=27557

Re: Killer Bs: give it up for Bandai, B-Club, and (neo) Bull
Hmm, yeah, that could be, and the timing makes sense. I have seen a lot of the flesh bootlegs (standard sized) but never in person so I can't really compare. This guy has the full Bullmark stamp though, and the vinyl is of pretty average thickness to the standard releases. It is definitely older but doesn't have that 70s feel. I don't know if the bootlegs were made right off the original molds or not. I have seen one of these on auction before, and I am certainly not expecting it to be a OG unpainted release or prototype, just something really interesting (to me) and a great alternative to finding an original giant Red King.

Re: Killer Bs: give it up for Bandai, B-Club, and (neo) Bull
I think Zanika could be my favourite Bullmark toy.. would prefer a red (and will probably double up on sculpts if I see one) but had to grab this cream version when I saw it pop up.

I missed it earlier, but this photo hits me square in the feels. I am hard-pressed to think of a more lovely trio of toys I could have selected to come together for this shot. Marvelous toys David, belated congratulations on the new B-ditions.

BEAUTIFUL specimen, but I think that's an M1 repro rather than a nouveau Bullmark edition: The pride of '97. http://www.clubtokyo.org/listings/itemL ... ntentID=63Happen to know for sure?
