    Hi all,
    This RB vinyl has been sitting on a certain auction site for a while and I was wondering if anyone knew some more details about it... the description is a little lacking in details like manufacturer, size, or if the blue paint is supposed to be there. It's a really nice rendition of RB and, if it is around Standard size I'd consider picking it up down the road if it hangs around.

    i always stayed away from the standard size red baron because of the bootleg that so closely resembles it right down to a bullmark stamp on the foot.

    So, is that was that is? Bullmark Standard Sized? I like the sculpt, but the blue details look so rough.

    I want to say that they bootleg is actually a little taller and has triangular stickers on the chest vs. the little guns in the chest.

    There are several versions of the figure, most are paint variations, and I think that the gun tips are often broken, but I have not been able to quantify all the variations either to understand why some are more expensive than others.

    Yup. the boot has triangular silver chest stickers instead of the guns.

    Thanks for the help guys... based on the condition with the discoloring on the head, what would a reasonable price for this be? The only vintage stuff I own right now are little Popy and Takatoku ~4" robot guys, but I'd like to check out some standard sized robots.
