Bullmark, then the leading Tokyo maker of kaiju and hero soft vinyl, issued this deluxe figure during those first broadcast years: larger than the standard size, and jointed at the arms and legs so it could be posed with its helmet and sidearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure is moulded in orange vinyl, with a black chevron across the chest, a black belt and holster, and black boots. The head is painted with dark hair and a calm expression; the removable white helmet has a clear visor and a small fin. The joints still move freely and have not seized. Boxed deluxe examples from this run are uncommon; most survive as loose figures only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight 34 cm (13.4 in).
