ゴジラ
Bullmark Gojira (BP-17). All 4 color variants.
Not really a very hard to find toy, but an all-time classic.
One of these guys belongs in every collection I think.
Finest vintage japanese heavy metal with crazy gimmicks. I love this toy!

…, who is the fairest one of all?
Hard to say!
Mirrorman (ミラーマン) was the first non Ultra character from Tsuburaya Production.
The TV series runs from December 5, 1971 to November 26, 1972.
When I bought my first Bullmark Mirrorman sofubi and got it from japan
I was instantly bitten by the mirror bug. I have quiet a few now, but there
much more out there…collecting for the next years is assured ;-)
Hmm…the title of this Brog is a bit lewd.
But nothing pornographic here, only a few vinyl figures from
the Akumaizer 3 series.
The 3 horny guys are Mezalord (メザãƒãƒ¼ãƒ‰) sofubis. Mezalord is the
leader of the Akuma Clan. Akuma Clan?
“The Akuma Clan are a race of magical cyborgs who live deep within the earth,
plot to invade the surface world.” (thanks wikipedia)
The green lady with the gigantic ears is Darunia from the Demon Clan.
She’s a friend of Zaitan and a “good gal”.
These guys are marked as Takatoku, but a few of them had been sold on
Bullmark branded carded sets. So again a collaboration between these two
companies, like they did with the Akumaizer MekaMachine, MFVs, etc.
I know that there is another Darunia sofubi version (shitI lost the auction),
but I’m not sure if there’s another variation of Mezalord.
But you never know…the japanese toy universe is (nearly) endless.

Here’s my final groupshot of the gang.
I really love the crazy design of these guys combined with
the fantastic box-art.
ガブラ
Today No.3 of the Akumaizer MFV trio: Gabura
イビル
Evil from Akumaizer 3.
ザビタン
Zabitan from the Akumaizer 3 series.
Made by Bullmark with Takatoku copyrights on the box and his feet.
Nice cooperation.

“You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda.â€
So true. One of the greatest & successful slogans in motor-history.
…ups, Bullmark did it again. A robot that could transform into a motorbike
is riding a motorbike. Strange, but kinda cool.
Maybe Zaboga ran out of fuel, or he had a well-paid sponsoring contract
with Honda? Who knows. It was pretty trendy to ride a Honda four in
the 70ties and Zaboga was a freakin’ cool guy. But this time he’s not riding
a big 750 four…he’s riding a little Trail ST70 aka Dax. Holy shit!
I have a few “Zaboga bike toys” now, but this one is the coolest.
When it popped up as a direct-buy on ebay, I only needed 4 seconds of thinking
if I “need” it or not. Responsible for my fast decision was the box-art and
the fact that I love bots on bikes.
Lets start with the box.
The box-art is fantastic and also very surreal.
Zaboga crusing around on his little Honda, meets his alter ego,
transformed into a bike. Must be disturbing for him.
Here’s the toy.
The Zaboga figure is vinyl and most parts of the bike are made out
of plastic. The whole toy is really well made, with lots of nice details.
Front wheel fork is solid metal, also the handle bar. It also has a
friction drive action feature.
Here are some more detail shots of the toy.
Click on them to enlarge.
Here you could see Zaboga on his little Honda Trail together with
a few other Bullmark Zaboga bikes.
That was my easter-bike-brog. Hope you liked it.
Now I have to find a Bullmark big sofubi Zaboga in “bikemode”
and the big plastic Honda 750 four with Zaboga…still enough stuff
out there to collect ;-)
More fotos as usual in the BBS.
