Those things look awesome, in a hideous 70's toy kinda way. Wish I'd seen that auction, those things are definately worth more than $10 if they're that old, imo.

Reminds me of the new new "retro" vinyl Gundam toys, about $6 inches tall, very very limited poseability and they sell for around $50 new. Vinyl toy collecting is a pretty big and expensive hobby.

as much as I love my marauders... ahm, I mean glaugs..., the vinyl four pack is somethingI have passed up numerous times at $20 for all four still in container. If you have to ask why... the glaug was the best looking one of the lot if that says anything. :blink:

There are folks who are dedicated "sofubi" collectors precisely because of the inaccuracies and distortions inherent in these toys. It has a retro kind of funkiness that's charming and disarming at the same time. Check out this thread on ToyboxDX for some really cool photos of soft vinyl robots! You wouldn't believe how some of the incarnations turned out. :-)

Isnt that the Toynami MPC Glaug?

This was my auction. The pic does look a bit scrunched maybe because of the angle. In person, this vinyl Glaug looks very good.

that ugly deformed thing is actually pretty cool :D

wonder how the other bots looked like in this line

If you go to the ToyboxDX link Drifand provided a few posts up and scroll down the page you will see a large assortment of vinyl figures a bunch (if not all) of the Macross ones are among them - check it out...
