I've always liked that smaller mini 'flying' variant so much more than the Popy minis.

Have we gotten to the point where those minis are worth more than the price of gold for their weight?

There was never a removable mask KR Amazon made as far as I'm aware .. I think some one has put KR head on on a 73 Bandai Amazon and sacrilegiously cut off Amazons head as the plug vinyl is gone

There could never be ...or should never be... a removable mask Amazon Rider. If I'm not mistaken I believe Amazon Rider actually is creature unto itself. No mask to remove. He's all Amazon creature when he transforms.

 Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o
Oh shoot, now I would pay some good Yen just to be able to take a ride on that.  Shame that you don't see more Getter Mars stuff. But what a great thing that ride would make. Just goes to show how the strangest - and coolest - things show up for auction in Japan. So did it actually sell then?

That was the starting price but did not receive offers, is a shame because it is a great piece and is one of those occasions I want to live in Japan. I also love to take a ride on it  . Agree with you Kerk1 looks in very good shape!

 Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o
I know one went for 271000 last Christmas: I believe Brian was looking for one of these and since he missed that one maybe he grabbed this one?

Then I realized that it was the insane 20 inch (50cm) toy not the Giant 15 inch size. Knew of Mirrorman in this size but not Silver Mask. Wow:
I believe Brian was looking for one of these and since he missed that one maybe he grabbed this one? I hope Brian has scored this one, it's a great piece. If anyone has one and could share a picture of this giant Silver Kamen next to other figures to see the difference in size I would greatly appreciate it.

 Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o
This was the one from about a week ago? Or was there another that ended more recently?

 Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o
Like Jim said that's a bit of an outrageous price for this toy!I haven't looked in awhile but I do recall a year or two ago it popping up quite a bit. I've seen them going as low as 6000 yen, the highest I think was 11000. So this 40000 yen price tag is sort of an anomaly. Either a bunch of bidders really wanted it, shill bidding, impatience. take your pick. What was the starting price?
I haven't been looking for awhile is the market drying up? Or more competition, or both? Kind of makes me regret not going for the one that ended up at 6000 yen lol.
