No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes

I believe he was a limited run in 99'. I've never seen one on ebay; thanks to one of our members, I scored mine from a contact in Hong Kong. YahooJapan would be the only other way to go.

A little history, courtesy of my upcoming article in Super7:
"In 1999, Bandai released the GA-09R, a re-tooling of the original Popy toy. Over an inch taller, the reissue featured an entirely new sculpt and paint job. Some of the notable differences are red wings instead of white, and metallic gold horns instead of yellow. Although it looks similar to the original, it is an entirely different toy. Bandai also created a limited gold version of this toy, available only at the Tokyo Toy Festival in February 2000. Only 1000 were made, and they were completely sold out."
