This is a RARE Bandai Realtype Musha Gundamcloth figure. Box Marked 1989. Illustration by Yoshiyuki Takani. Most of this box is in Japanese, so I can only tell you what I see, but on the side panel it does say MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam. This looks to be a transforming type figure, there's pictures of a few modes, including core base, core top, core fighter and G-Fortress
Contents include figure, accessories, foam packing, clear plastic "shield" over contents. (No instructions) From my inspection based on the back of the box, it looks like there might be one piece missing. In the helmet there's one red panel coming off the side and there should be two. (See pic 3). I would consider that a fairly minor flaw when you look at the whole package. (And for all I know there's a possibility it could be hiding in a section of the packaging.)
Everything looks overall nice shape, it does look like this had been removed, there are a few slightly dusty segments but I didn't want to go handling everything. You might find a small section of plastic stress here or there but I didn't see anything jumping out as broken. Also, the figure should likely be fairly white, it looks slightly creamy but not really "yellowed."
Box is in good used condition, does show a significant crease at the flap where you'd open it, some minor wear around the edges. Something that has been handled but not abused.
I am not the original owner, this came from a collection of lots of rare toys, Japanese, Gundam, etc. I have no idea how much it was handled and I don't really want to take out all of the pieces to inspect them further, but the overall impression is just a nice clean figure.
I have searched extensively for price comparisons on this and they just aren't out there, so I'm putting a high price on it and letting you decide. If you have a recent comp, feel free to share!

The fine print
*eBay is my full-time job, but I'm not available 24/7. I try to be prompt in responses and shipping. I do not have the time and resources of a large company. I'm not perfect but I try to work with my customers and acknowledge mistakes. I've been on eBay since 1997 and have had few unhappy experiences.
*I typically ship by the end of the next business day and post office picks up in the morning. (If you pay at 10 am on Monday, the latest it will be with the post office is Wednesday. If you get your payment in by 3 p.m. EST it will likely be in Tuesday's mail.) Friday payments might not get to the mail until Tuesday if I have a personal life over the weekend. International buyers, I sometimes take an extra day with your items.
* I ship international items as merchandise, not gifts and I do not change the value of the item to help you with customs fees. All customs/import fees are your responsibility.
*If you have specific shipping or payment needs, please communicate before buying/bidding through a personal message, not through eBay checkout. I do NOT hold Buy it Now items and will open unpaid item cases after 3-5 days.
* All priority mail domestic items are insured. Tracking is provided on all items through an ebay generated email once a shipping label has been created. International buyers, first class shipping does not include detailed tracking to all countries.
* I am always happy to combine shipping based on the smallest available box and weight for both lots.
*I use automated feedback.. leave me positive feedback, you'll get it in return.
