Made around 1970, standing about 32 cm (12.6 in) tall, and keeping much of the red paint that fades on most survivors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Ultraseven, first broadcast in 1967, the hero carries capsule monsters that he releases to fight on his behalf, and the stout, horned Mikras is the best loved of them. Bullmark, the Tokyo maker that succeeded Marusan as the great name in kaiju soft vinyl, produced Mikras in a giant size around 1970 for the lasting re-runs of the Ultra series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure is moulded in maroon vinyl, with a green bib, a blue crest of hair and silver horns sweeping up from the head. The broad mouth is painted red with white teeth and staring eyes, and a blue stripe runs down the spine between rows of scales. The feet are sculpted with claws and toes, and the arms are jointed at the shoulder. The red highlights, which fade easily, are still strong across the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong Bullmark’s giant kaiju, Mikras is harder to find than Giant Taccong and at least as scarce as Giant Garuban, and is a centrepiece for a collection of first-generation Ultra monster toys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight about 32 cm (12.6 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, with the piece laid flat and the tape read by eye, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1–3 cm (0.5–1 in) for the natural give of fabric, handwork and the human hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bullmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mikras, Ultraseven capsule monster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Giant series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft vinyl, sprayed and hand-painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 cm (12.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Showa, c. 1970\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original period piece, not a reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery good overall, with no damage to the joints or locating lugs and no names or marks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuch of the red paint remains, with natural fading and light rubbing at high points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinor age-related changes to the vinyl.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (excellent, light signs of use)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSculpt, vinyl and paint are consistent with Bullmark’s giant-series Mikras of about 1970.
