>>8116063I have the model and an extremely rare articulated gashapon figure, and neither are worth tracking down. The kit needs a lot of work to look good and scales with nothing. The face is awful.
The gashapon is hard to find because they've all self-destructed. They're probably 7-8 cm tall and made of thin vinyl and PVC plastic posts that are 2mm thick at the very most. Because of that the joints fuse and any kind of gentle force tears or snaps them apart. I bought the whole series of those from Mandarake on a whim without knowing much about them and out of six figures Metalman and Searchman are the only surviving ones. Metalman would be broken too if I tried moving his neck joint any harder than I already have. Thankfully I only paid $30-ish for the lot.
