Wow you never see those come up for sale talk about super rare! For the price though I'll stick with my Marusan clone (¥ 226,050 cheaper!):

It was not that bad the ending price, considering that there are four figures confirmed of the red Bullmark Ultraman. In addition Mark Nagata said in an interview that the price for one of these figures was around the 5,000 usd.
Thank´s for the link! :)

thats a beauty of a toy.

The detail on the face alone is worth the tag.

So is that a new toy? Looks very recent.

2010-ish I believe. By Toygraph (no longer active).

Super wow! I never expected to see an 'Ultraman for girls' in the wild. What a treat.

I re-hosted the images in case the OGs go bye bye:

SO wonderful to see the girlie Ultra come up for sale. Yeah, sure, it is a lot of money, but that is really a grail - at least for us Ultra collectors - if ever there was one. Seems like it is actually a comparable bargain (to me, admittedly), even given its condition. It is such a sought after toy, and as mentioned, so few are out there. To have a chance at actually adding one into your own collection, wow, I can only imagine! And I know Mark put in all of the effort and relishes the one he eventually found. If I had the money I wouldn't really think about it, and considering what other people in this hobby shell out for certain rarez vinyl dollies, this is a real no-brainer. Beautiful toy. I will have to stick with my M1 repro for now, but happy to just see one of these pop up.

Yeah, I get that "value" is only as much as someone is willing to spend that particular day...but that WAS an absolute and absurd steal. I was expecting it to go for twice that.

Just closed slightly north of 300000. Very clean, full box, incl. paper goods and 2 minis. Is this normal or is it a new high for capsule G/ Astro Mu stuffs?

Just closed at 262,000. Don't see this come up every day. Not a cheap date at the toy hop.

Just to let you guys know. This was a bidding war for 45 minutes I think. Crazy. From what I know, this is the first toygraph figure that has the drill claw and the alien head with claw with the bottom torso with the bloodied toygraph space trooper and insect that ever surfaced. Very hard to find. What I think that looks good is the skulls on the side. From looking at the side the toy really looks menacing and dark. Space like too. Congrads to the winner.

Yep, the crazy bidding continue on for close to an hour because of the 10 minute auto extension feature. "insect that ever surface" Not sure I understand you correctly of if you meant "never". But Toygraph release a bag full of the insects on it's own.

For those that don't know the other side does not have skulls.

The bloody space trooper that came with it was original first release without the blood for Super Festival 48 in January 2009.

The small robotic tick that looks half robot and half insect. I have never seen it come with this alien robot. Also this is the first version that comes with the alien head . There are versions that have the gun head which doesn't look as good as this version. Also , THis is the first time I seen it in this color. I have searched everywhere and this is very difficult to purchase . I have no ideal how the hell this guy got a hold of one of these rare toys to sell. Toygraph been out of business for a long time. And their toys are fetching more money than before. I just love their stuff. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I love how you told me that it came as a non bloody . Good to know.

Post Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o
Yeah, generally we do limit this discussion to vintage items, but no big deal as it doesn't specify. Toygraph stuff has been going bonkers for some time now, and for almost no justification in my opinion (and I have always been a massive fan of TG stuff). It is just silly, but is just one of those quirks I kind of ignore now in 'modern' toys, right alongside those other fancy new dollies that are all the rage.

I don't get the Big Eye exactly. It isn't the Bullmark or the Enterprise versions I have seen, and almost looks like it is a new one/custom paint job. Can anyone shed any light on it? I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt for it being legit, if the auction ended that high, but it doesn't seem quite right to me somehow. I think it is the metallic paints that are really throwing me off a little; just too heavy and new looking I guess, with multiple tones and colours, and it doesn't seem to have that vintage aspect and age to it. It almost looks like the base vinyl is green, as opposed to the usual flesh of the standard Bullmark version. Hard to say without seeing these toys in person, which is why I would be hesitant to shell out loads on any auction. Could be just a variant or something done at the end of the normal run for some reason; or maybe a somewhat later re-issue like the Enterprise ones. You don't see much collected on the Mirrorman toys, so I admit I don't immediately recognise this fellow.

Whoever bought this item could of gotten a 2-headed bemon which is quite rare already or a gorilla ju. I wish that toygraph company was still alive and purring. I would love to buy more space troopers and their Godzilla toys. Is there any way to find out what happened to toygraph company. It just disappear. Their space troopers line was doing so good but suddenly gone. What happened?

Use the search function. It was discussed a few years back.

Old poly ★ red Godzilla★ manufacturer unknown
It's not really something strange, but the color is the least common. I had only seen a couple of the blue ones. Even though it is a beautiful piece, but I find the price a little high to be a poly figure.

I figured that the big eye was legit due to the large amount of random scratching and the dulling of the metallic pigments.
The seller called it vintage and bullmark, but I never really trust seller's descriptions anymore.
