Sharivan

This is just a cool little soft vinyl toy of one of the space sheriffs – Sharivan. He’s a typical kids vinyl toy from the 80s, but what makes this appealing to me is the metallic-red glitter vinyl. It looks absolutely amazing and shimmers in the light.

This was made in 1983, right when Popy was transitioning into Bandai. It stands 16cm tall and has two points of articulation – the arms.

The paint and sticker detail is also great. You don’t often see stickers on these cheap soft vinyls.

These are pretty common loose, but you don’t often see them in their original packaging.
