Red King in the 450 size by Marusan with the X-RAY treatment of Secretbase, cast in clear yellow vinyl and still sealed beneath its header card.
The Piece
Through the translucent body the painted ribcage and spine can be seen, following the ridged outline of the monster. The printed header in orange and blue is the original and the bag has not been opened.
Slight wear to the early header and rubbing to the bag are noted.
Old Mould, New Bones
Soft vinyl figures in Japan reach back to the 1960s: Marusan, founded in Tokyo in 1947 and remembered as the country's first plastic model maker, introduced vinyl monsters from the Ultra series in 1966. Red King was among Marusan's Ultraman figures, from the Tsuburaya Productions series broadcast on TBS from 17 July 1966 to 9 April 1967.
Secretbase opened in Harajuku on 24 December 2001, and its X-RAY figures set a clear vinyl body over an embedded skeleton or mechanism, a treatment its founder HIDDY says he was the first to use at this scale. This 450 class Red King in clear yellow, made with Marusan, is unopened in its original header bag. More figures stand on the soft vinyl shelf, and our guide to kaiju soft vinyl from Marusan and Bullmark traces the Showa makers behind the form.
