    This went up for auctions three times with an opening bid of 69,800. No bids:

    It's a test shot of B-Club's giant Godzilla reissue. As far as I know only three of these made it to the Western hemisphere, one of them went up on eBay. I don't recall the price but I believe it was way less than $700.

    I think that end price is really pretty fair. I've heard of a lot of people paying a great deal more to adopt. And just think, this little girl even comes with here own toys.

    Very true Tim. In fact...a buddy of mine scored a blue sweatshirt kid a few years back and paid almost double.

    I believe one of the legs was broken and also twisted, so that might have hurt the price.

    When I was in Tokyo for the toy tour, I saw the middle tail section in this pic for $5000 at Mandarake. I couldn't imagine having to try and track down every piece for a single figure. That trip opened my eyes to vintage vinyl. They have so many amazing pieces in store after store after store.

    Yeah, was watching this auction, too. I was wondering what they filled the limbs with. Was it some sort of expanding rigid foam to keep the thing from getting droopy on hot days in store windows?

    Either way...gorgeous!

    Jesus... and you ave a second one! Is it really vinyl, just like a standard-sized release? Is it crazy thick vinyl for support? I've heard these can stink for a while after being made, similar to the Kaws big guys. Still, makes one impressive piece... and I bet the glow is unreasonable at night! :shock:

    @ Baikin...All I can think about is that they're like "Gremlins". While you're away they play dress up and drink your beer.
    Unbelievable! I'd love to be greeted by those fellas when I got home.

    Which leaves me wondering if Kanegon is partial to Kirin or Sapporo?
