Bunch of vinyls came in...

[Dragonclaw]

A customer of mine just brought in some vinyls and after a bit of research I know what they are, but can anyone point me in a good direction for their value... (I'm good with the robot stuff, but vinyls have never been my strong point...). Just want to know what's fair to ask for them.

Here's what I have...all of them are sealed with header cards in great shape...sorry I don't have my camera at the shop, but I can take pics later...

Japanese Artistic Monsters Collection Hedorah (red) has batteries to make the eyes light up. I saw the crawling one on Collection DX, but this on is upright, about 12" tall, not the "smoking a factory pose" just a standing pose with the arms almost to the ground in front of him.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

I'm not familiar with the Hedorah, but I can guide you on the Marmits. Prices for vinyls vary greatly. It seems that newer vinyl toys most often sell for less than the original prices (with a few rare over-hyped exceptions). Forum boards (such as skullbrain) seem to sell these for even less than they are typically listed for on ebay, but I don't know how many of the ebay ones actually sell. I'm not sure if any of those three are particularly rare, but the Vinyl Paradise series generally seems fairly common. I would guess that the value would be between $40 and $80. I know its kind of a large range (these things always seem to sell for varied costs depending on who is actually lusting after that particular toy - they are originally listed higher, and then the price is lowered over time until it actually sells), but at least it narrows it down a bit.

BTW, here's some photos of the Vinyl Paradise series (not complete, I think) so people can see what you have:

There's lots of Godzilla toys, so you should try to narrow it down to the particular one by looking at that link. Also, if you plan to list these on ebay, you should list it as Matango, not Mutango.

Thanks Kingboy...that's the site I found too Added the links to the exact pieces.

I'll have pics of the Hedorah tonight. It's got great shelf presence....and I love a good "what the heck is THAT" kind of day. It was a pretty good haul. The same guy also brought in a huge Mothra polystone statue (has about a 2 foot wingspan) and a 14" vinyl Godzilla that are both happily on my desk at home now

Those statues (assuming they're what I'm thinking of) are real nice. I've been lusting after them for quite some time now.
