Soft Vinyl Figure - Monster Kid Showa Retro - Fujiko Fujio - Wolfman - Franken Ultra Man - Vintage Dracula - Early 1968 TT Shonen Gaho

Description

These figures have been stored in my family's second-floor warehouse for about 55 years in a cardboard box. As I was organizing, I found them, so I am putting them up for auction. I would appreciate it if someone who can cherish and enjoy them takes them home. Normally, this Franken figure has a gray face, but this one features a light blue face. I do not know if it is a miscolor, a sample, or a prize from a magazine, but it has the TT mark on the soles, is marked with Shonen Gaho from 1968, and has engravings from Fujiko Fujio, so I believe it is an authentic early piece. I think these four figures allow you to feel the era of Fujiko Fujio. I would be honored if you could adopt these companions who have been together for so long. The light blue Franken is possibly one of only a few in Japan, or even fewer, but I cannot confirm. The Wolfman is the most recognizable of the names. Count Dracula has a faint signature on his back. The Monster Kid is almost unreadable. Please check the images for the Franken.

Collector Commentary

This rare set of soft vinyl figures from the 1968 TT Shonen Gaho line showcases early works from Fujiko Fujio, the renowned duo behind beloved characters like Doraemon, making these collectibles particularly desirable among vintage Japanese toy enthusiasts. The unique light blue coloration of the Franken figure could indicate a production anomaly or a previously unrecognized variant, further enhancing its collectability amid an already scarce market. With the figures preserved in good condition, collectors will appreciate the historical significance and the craftsmanship emblematic of 1960s Japanese toy manufacturing, particularly from the TT brand known for its quality and detail. Given the current bid of ¥3,500,000, this lot reflects ongoing collector interest in authentic, early-run pieces from Japan's iconic pop culture era, positioning it favorably within the niche of vintage collectibles.
