Parts came in a sealed plastic bag so this item is marked as New and in Mint condition. This box was purchased in a specialty toy store from an owner who only sold toys from Japan. The models box came without shrink wrap as were all the other Bandai models I purchased at this store. I believe this model was issued in the late eighties or early nineties but I'm not sure. I do remember that I bought it in the mid nineties. This character represented is the Ultra Seven character made popular in the Ultraman universe. This model is 1/350 scale and stands either 5" or 6" (5.9" is somewhat standard for this co.). The writing on the box and in the instructions are written in Japanese only and since the parts are unassembled it's difficult to determine the assembled height of the model.
