In an attempt to jump start this section, post your Bullmark pics. Anything Bullmark... I'll start-
Bullmark Zinclon Bullpets -  These are only a few of the great toys Bullmark has put out in the past. Some of the best entries in this realm are actually vinyl toys. Not very many vinyl collectors here, but who cares. Maybe that will change if people take the time to educate themselves about this stuff. Peace! |

Unfortunately, my Bullmark collection is small. I've got a couple of the Bullpets (including Ghidorah, one of my all-time favorites), but I would kill for the Gigan and Baragon!! Watch your back, Dylan!!  Here's my bots:  Yeah, I know, the Diapolon Header has the head of Apolon Trang, but that's how I got him. (Someone got a spare head laying around?) The guy is still a brick of diecast. The Ganbaron in the middle is missing some parts, but its still one of my faves, too (I know Ed feels the same way, too - just check his avatar). If I would kill for the Bullpets, I would mass murder for the Deluxe Ganbaron bot!!!! The Mekanda is very common on ebay. Here's my vehicles:  The one on the left and the two on the right are from Mekanda. I had the chance to pick up the third Tri-Max vehicle (Tri-B3), but at the time, I only had the Tri-F1. I made a small stab at it, and just barely lost the auction. Of course, a week later, I won the Tri-GT2. If I'd known that it would appear so soon... Go figure. The last vehicle is from Diapolon. I also picked up a couple vinyl reissues this past year (the three Godzilla foes located front center in this photo of my favorite vintage pickups of 2006):  Gotta love the mug shot of Baragon:  That's about it for me. If soneone's got the full Diapolon set, I'd love to see them combined, next to a more common figure for size comparison. Thanks. |

KingboyD, you gotta love Baragon. Who could resist the puppy dog face? Hey, yours looks like the tag is still hanging from his neck. Could you post a shot of the tag?

Good call, Sketcher! Bullmark defines cool. The great Dai Baron:   And the semi-DX Dai Baron (which is actually cooler than the big one):   And Of Couse, Mechandar Robo:  JWM |

As usual, your pics are marvelous. jwm, your toys are what mine were before they were stolen from me and I had to start over. I can't believe it's been 22 years since. It's like a time machine every time you choose to share. Thank you!

You're more than welcome. I'll put some more pictures up later. I have that small Dai Baron that's standing in the middle of KingboyD's picture. I got it for just a couple of bucks with no box, but with the styrofoam tray and all the parts intact. The toy store, Kunimatsuya, used to sell their damaged, loose, or incomplete toys for a big discount at their La Habra store. They also had a big plastic bin of loose parts that they sold for like a dime a piece or something. I got several toys that way from them- I'd buy the good ones that were missing two or three missiles, or a fist, and then buy the missing pieces from the bin, and end up with a complete toy. But with the small Dai Baron the spinner never did work no matter how many times I tried to fix it. I ended up decididing to paint it black. That's right. I came up with the idea of a black version back in '78. Of course, it came out looking like crap. I still have it somewhere. It would make a great restoration project.

Snapped a couple of the Angilas from the Zinclon Bullpets. Not a perfect specimen, but it makes me complete until I can find a Brinx truck to rob and buy a perfect one. I have another I acquired from KingboyD that I plan to restore making copies of the parts on the other. Of course I don't have fists or back plate for either of them so those will be more difficult to create because I will need to go from pictures.    |

Thanks for the great pics guys, I only have a slightly forlorn Mecha Godzilla without accessories but I'd like to get more Bullmark in the future. I've never seen the semi-DX Dai Baron before, great looking toy!
