Hi,
Found an old toy in the closet and started to research its history and value, then stumbled across this site.
A little background. My mother is Japanese and I spent a few summers overseas visiting realtives. Had received alot of toys as gifts, also books, trading cards etc.
Was infused with 1970's Nipponese culture and always felt alittle out of place when back home in the states.
Found my old action figure that for some reason I had always held onto, probably due to it being unique and not found int he states, at least to my knowledge.
From my reasearch I find that it is one of the original Jaguar Cyborgs w/ lion suit. Here are some pics.

Found some suits and an actual Jaguar on ebay ($175 for poor cond. Jag w/ panther suit. Then another auction for a leopard suit that stated leopards are more rare and harder to find than the lion suit.
I know its all subjective, but what do you think my figuer is worth? I also see no Jags on alot of sites I found. Any comments on it being rare or not?
Will appreciate any comments and education on the matter.
BTW, love these photo essays I've been finding on collector sites, they are a hoot! Especially the Cyborg Easter Bunny ;D
