Reproduction of vintage Tiger Mask soft vinyl figure by Nakajima Seisakusho in 1969 by Medicom Toy. About 9 inches tall. This one comes with double package, inner, the reproduction of original card and colouring book then outer, Medicom package. If one is cheeky one can remove the outer package and claim it as original? I don’t think anyone would be naïve enough to be deceived though! Ha Ha!! ; )

About the series name "Vinyl Paradise Baby" and "Monster Heaven Baby". Marmit had ended the standard size Vinyl Paradise series name at the end of 2001. It was changed to Monster Heaven series at the beginning of 2002. With the "baby" series name, Marmit continues to advertise pre-orders on their website as Vinyl Para Baby and assign product item numbers as VPB which is short for Vinyl Para Baby up until around the end of 2004. But header cards starting in 2002 for the "baby" series are officially labeled as "Monster Heaven Baby".

Again, as written on the box art – TEDEROS In the future of the 20th century, mankind has been civilized and living a rich life. But since the fall of gigantic meteorites, a cataclysm has been started that has included the appearance of monsters and invasions by aliens from other planets. Mankind is now facing things never experienced before. The forces of the Earth’s united nations have been attempting to organize a new squadron, beyond the Army, Navy and Air Force, to protect against these alien attacks from other planets and to prepare for the development of space. This new squadron, made up of specialized robots, is named Terrestrial Defence Robot Squadron, “TEDEROS”.
Well, it is already 21st century now but can you just relax and ignore what’s going on around us now??
This one is TEDEROS-05 First Aid Robot by Marusan. 6 inches tall and it is marked as 1/150 scale and the pilot Erika Willinger figure is inside the clear dome. Nice reminder of Gang of Five style skirted robot design was used for this one and it suits well.
For my second sofvi custom, my choice went on Takepico's Keronga figure. I have always been attracted by the tropical fauna so I decided to revisit the "アカメ" version released some time ago by One Up.
Painted with Monster Kolor paint and Iwata airbrush. #keronga #takepico #oneup #sofvi #sofvitokyo #toyphotography #sofubi #custom #airbrush #iwata #japan #monsterkolor
So I got the clear cyborg Popy Kamen Rider- sans inserts but I actually like it that way more to be honest, and some very odd bootleg? mid sized guy (to the right before the unifive removable helmet repro) today. I though he'd be one of those dancing hands bootlegs the size of my Barom One but he's much bigger.
