I picked up this (slightly squishy) mid size Tyrant recently, and got around to unbagging it today. Such a great toy.
@wingnut0 - Patrick, I am enjoying how some of the new Bullmarks are slightly squishy. Makes them even more fun to goof around with. @djkemp - Dave, love all those new goji photos, thank you! The mini Jet Jaguar also looks cool. Marusan MechaG 450 in clear vinyl will be sold at SF81: View this post on Instagram
Following up on this, I ran this through Google Translate and I think the pinkie on the left is the original Bullmark Hawaii Hedorah. I have Hedorah reissues from M1GO and the new Bullmark, and as far as I can tell, they come from the same tooling.
I haven't seen that one for sale, but there's another clear one announced: http://sofvi.tokyo/190920_bullmark/

Thanks! It seems that there are two clear versions. I’ve gotten conflicting info about the one at the convention. Some say it’s presale at show and will later be open preorder but others say it’s only for sale at the show and that’s it. It’s driving me crazy cuz I’d like both but can’t find a way on either.
Thanks, Zach. I was able to put in a few hours of photography over the weekend after a long stretch of family activities. It was fun to get some shots of these pickups from the last few months.
Seems like there have been dozens of New Bullmark releases lately. It's hard to keep track when the website doesn't list everything. Some of the ones that caught my eye: King Joe "Aurora Color". There was a similar clear one released slightly over a year ago, but it was required you to purchase a ticket to an Ultraman event in order to buy it. Baltan Seijin (Toho Cinema ver.). This one is an exclusive for another Ultraman event this month. The vintage Baltan mold is not my favorite, but the colors on this version are very similar to a nice M1 paint sample of Baltan 2 on GID (which never made it into production). I think this one really shows Mr. Nishimura's hand in the New Bullmark production. "Aurora ver." of the Hedorah mold being released later this month at the Marusan Toy Festival... eh, I think the original sample looked better. Mini GID set looks good, though!
Just wanted to let everyone know that Anime Jungle in LA (https://www.animejungle.net/access.html) has quite a few modern Marusan items, including the pink and blue glow Fran aliens, one version of the new King Godras sculpt, and that big blue glitter Gorilla 450.
Spoiler Busy instagram feed this week. What are the odds of getting one of these Camo Joe state-side?
I know that - along with myself - at least Chris is deeply smiling down on this one. Phenomenal collaboration of the beautiful 'rainbow' paint on GID from Nishimura-sama, on an upscale '450' series crawling Gamera. This would be one amazing one for me personally, and I would go through many a hurdles, alas very limited so I will have to satisfy myself with this downloaded pic. [Maybe I will post it up in the back of my cabinet so I can keep dreaming...]
Hi Akum6n, What do you mean by this? “ I think this one really shows Mr. Nishimura's hand in the New Bullmark production.” Is Yuji working with Bullmark now? I’ve felt so many of their new toys have his style but I thought I was crazy! Any info is greatly appreciated! Thnx
Totally agree! Bullmark has been killing it. It’s gotten frustrating that they’re so hard to stay on top of and harder to score if you find one you want. I’ve been doing my best but it’s not easy.
