Leopardon is gonna go up. Rumor is, he's in the Spider Verse sequel.if he is, people are gonna want him. Weird older thread to suddenly pop up in my notices. Hopefully the OP solved his finances and didn't have to sell too much. I agree that Leoparden may be seeing some price rise. Especially since it was long one of the cheapest SOC's to find. If you do go to sell it, don't just look in the usual Gokin sales locales. As strange as it sounds the vinyl Supaidaman figure might be worth more than the robot. It's a 1/12 figure of the Takuya Tamashiro Japanese Spider-Man. As near as I can make out or find, the only such beast ever made. While sadly not articulated, he is in scale with the Marvel Legends and SH Figuarts offerings. Making him of interest to Marvel Collectors seeking a full Spider-Man roster. At this point he is one of the few Spider-Man variants that has not been made by Hasbro or ToyBiz. And the complicated licensing between Marvel and Toei may make that state continue. (The other risk is if Spiderverse 2 prompts Hasbro to make a Marvel Legends version).

I bumped it because Iwas interested in discussing it, for this very reason. Leopardon has crossover appeal. And is definitely going to be an in demand item, the more exposure he gets.

Yup i might agree with Leopardon. He kinda gained momentum when he turned up in a Marvel comic. Now Marvel is going to focus on multiverse in the next MCU phases.. Supaidaman might turn up in one of those Spiderman movies. Imagine this would be a another must wanted item for new gen of spidey collectors... not just for old school.

Im a fan of sentai toys and I've been postponing leopardon a long time... (also battle fever J). With the re releases I haven't found cash to catch up with those two. Really love spiderman mecha! And its been going slowly up in price for almost a year... so yes it's time to get it

And its been going slowly up in price for almost a year... so yes it's time to get it A word of caution with Battle Fever J. It's a really neat Old School SOC. Almost solid metal and the array of die cast weapons is astonishing. But this is the one SOC that has a diminishing lifespan. The Robot's neck is unusual. It is sort of the opposite of how most double ball jointed action figure necks work. The physical balls are on the head and on the top of the body. The neck that receives them is a rubber piece. Not plastic. Rubber. The same rubber that they used to make the tank treads out of. See the problem? Yeah the neck will eventually decay go brittle and disintegrate leaving the robot decapitated.
