    Oh, that makes sense. I bought plenty of keshi from him over the years, some of those were probably ones you sold to him.

    I'm pretty confident I can ID any Gundam design you post.

    Yup, that sounds right. Always wished that I'd pieced the sale out and kept more back. Sorry to hear that he passed, though. His son has a GoFundMe up for the funeral expenses and doesn't want any collector/estate enquiries at present. Sounds like a mess.

    I'm not usually into keshi or wrestling toys, but those victory bros are pretty amazing. Who woulda thought you could make an emotional moment so tiny.

    There is so much imagination and skill in some of these tiny sculpts. Pretty amazing, really.

    Then there's that whole can of worms about unpainted vs. painted or mebbe just light sprays...

    I have almost completed a vintage Bullmark painted keshigomu Toho kaiju set, but am still missing the difficult Mechagodzilla. If you have one to pass along, please send me a message.

    The vintage Bullmark keshi are found in a few different colors (red, blue, yellow, green/teal, white) though red seems to be the most common for some characters. I have only seen the Mechagodzilla in red. I thought about attempting to complete all the sets for each color, but it seems like this might be impossible. Who knows what else is yet to be discovered. There are some interesting carded painted sets on backer cards out there.

    The painted toys are slightly firmer than the very rubbery common blanks which are found in bags with the excellent little Bullmark header cards in candy store boxes, although there are some blanks of the firmer keshi hiding out there but I have only found them loose/unbagged so far. See how the the blue blanks below look more shiny compared to the other colors. The blues ones are the firmer keshi blanks.

    Great post Mark. Lots of good info here. I feel like these are really underappreciated for being licensed toho.
