Banpresto Gary has landed

Hunted this one for a long while; at last he's here and he's freaking GREAT....




Made in China for Banpresto, 2004; 5" tall; seven parts, mostly rigid vinyl but the hands and tail are cast in a soft, rubbery PVC; apparently sold (foot is stamped "NOT FOR SALE") only in a large, blister-carded three-figure pack (the other two were Ultraman and Ultra Seven); flat-out amazing, unique, peculiar sculpt.

I'm thrilled with it in person; it's quickly made my short list of all-time favorite Gara-sculpts.
