A great standard sized Bullmark Kaiju originally from Ultra Seven. Measuring in at 9.75 inches. The spray on this one in particular is awesome. Love the metallic blue/green mixed with red. Beautiful. Enjoy.
2010 starts good!
Here’s the first toy I got this year. Ok I bought a few more, but these are all still in Japan and wait to be
packed and send to me. As always…it’s a never-ending story, all the time new stuff pops up on Yahoo.
But this Bullmark Missile Firing Zaboga found his way to germany. I won him on ebay and he came
from australia. First time I got a robot from down under.
The ebay item description said: “Mint condition includes the 2 rockets which were originally taped on the
inner tray and the catalog…”
The description was mistaken. The condition is mint and he came with his 4 orginal rockets.
I love such mistakes ;-)
Box design is…well, you see it. Great!
I think I’ve been the first person who opened up the box. Found the “missing” 2 rockets
behind the little “pamphlet” inside the box. Yeah!
Zaboga has the same size as the Rockbat MFV’s, he’s about 9” (24cm) high.
You could store his rockets in 2 movable yellow holsters.
Remove his hands and Zaboga is ready to fire.
Here are some detail shots.
This is the little “pamphlet” that was inside the box. I add a few scans in the BBS section.
I wish that I bought him for this price ;-)
Hope you like it.
More pictures, scans etc in the BBS section.
Zabogaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You know what Thursday is!? It’s ASTRO MU FIVE DAY!
This is my last Rockbat & Blazer Brog for this year…I swear!
2009 was a good year for Bullmark Missile Firing Vinyls and Meka Machines for me.
Well, not only for me. Jim M got his Bullmark MG2, Erik got a Godam MFV and a few others
I think. If I forgot someone… feel free to post your Meka Machine & MFV hauls of 2009 in the BBS.
Ok, lets start with Rockbat and his buddy Blazer!
The box design is similar to their big brothers, the Meka Machines.
To be honest. Rockbat’s arms look a bit “unproportional ” with his golden gloves on.
But nobody is perfect ;-)
Blazer is coming with 4 rockets, 2 yellow rocket-launcher-hand-attachments an
his usual claw-hand-attachments. Rockbat only comes with his removable golden glowes
and 4 rockets.
Together they have lots of firepower and it’s easy for them to kick even the Terminator’s ass.
Here you could see the size of the two Missile Shooters compared to a few other family members.
Thats it guys. A few more fotos in the BBS…and again, I would love to see your
2009 MFV’s & Meka Machines hauls of ’09.
The date of the Brog says 23rd Dezember. But here in germany we have the 24th.
So I wish you all…
Alen calls, and we makes plans to meet. Warren is game and I pick up master Yen and will my way through Chinatown looking for parking among the snowbanks.
I love spur of the moment meeting with the Yen and the Schwartz.
Where the preview of the Nekosaur Sofubi made it’s packaging debut.
And the pork dumplings were pretty good as well.

Originally released in 1968 by Hasbro, the line of “Kooky Spookys”, little (3″) glow in the dark finger puppet ghosts, was apparently re-released in Japan by Takara, re-titled “Glowing Phantom Spookies”. Who knew?
Here I have an example of the head of the household, Daddy Booregard (known in Japan as “Spooky Papa”, but clearly the ghost of Flava Flav) in a rare Japanese box.
40 years on and glowing strong!*
Since my assumption is that most on this site won’t care too much about owning these, if you happen to see them (Japanese OR US versions), let me know. ;)
*Best if sung to the tune of GBH’s “Race Against Time”.
(…okay, okay, I suck at titles).
After my recent minor debacle with the armored VF-25S, I figured it would be good for my psyche to review its vintage predecessor:
…because it is everything that the new armored packs aren’t.
I’m afraid I can’t show the box, because I got the thing loose (besides, I don’t like empty boxes while displaying things on my shelves). Because I don’t own a Takatoku VF-1S I will be using a 1J instead. Consider this a pictorial instruction guide for a toy that is well-known but somehow lacks exposure with regards to how well it is designed.
