I just saw the tiger7 figure and have fallen in love and I was just wondering if there is certain websites you guys frequent to find vintage toys or do you just keep your eyes peeled on YJA and the for sale section? Again I apologize if this is a ridiculous question.
It's not a stupid question! I recently discovered the Tiger myself, and also fell in love . I posted in the WANT section. They do pop up in YJP, and that there is a yellow and orange headed version. Finding one with gloves is very difficult. Thanks again to akum6n and joshuajh for sharing their knowledge with me! Joshuajh also mentioned that the S7 #9 magazine, carries an article on the Tiger figure. I'm hoping to stop by the store (and meet/greet with the Bay Area Traders) this weekend to pick up a copy (hope my flu goes away )... http://super7store.com/store/detail.php?item_id=3592
The figure is made by the company called bullmark correct or were there other companies that made them. This is the one I saw that was for sale on the boards but I missed it.
Oh! I see! The one I was describing, and the one I'm trying to find, is the 10-inch Bullmark version (orange and yellow). I think your photo shows the 5-inch Bullmark version. Josh also mentioned other forms of the Tiger toy as follows: "...as for other versions of the character, there is also a 5" bullmark (two color versions), , a giant talking figure by masudaya, a light-up figure by masudaya, and a 5" bootleg. There is also a shampoo bottle figure that hardly ever pops up for sale." These are also mentioned in the S7 #9 magazine article. Good luck with your hunt too!
