What's this? I have the 17" set with a grendizer from bootytown but I've seen these so-called 20" ones all over ebay this week. Are they exactly the same toy done in a bigger mold? One guy in Hong Kong wants US$57 for postage which was an absolute joke. I read about Mannix's 30" Mazinger and thought "Why are these cheap booties suddenly up in the hundreds of dollars?" These things are about twenty bucks in the markets of Hong Kong. I would love to add these new giant jumbo booties to my collection but it seems a bit whack if I'm getting complete Shogun warriors from thirty years ago for less than a hundred dollars and am then expected to pay $300 for new fewture jumbos and the like. I think I'll stick with vintage jumbos because if I have to fork out huge ammounts of dosh I can feel it's worth it.

Collectors are obviously looking in the wrong place....I see heaps of asian booties in market stalls especially in the chinatown areas in capital cities. Here in Australia Sydney is the best. I even saw a 20inch garage style eva vinyl that looked like it had been made with a really bad mold. The guy kept saying "One of a kind, one of a kind." at me but it had gaps in the paint and what looked like sprue marks on it. It was weird.
