Hey everyone, just thought I would share some pictures of the Spanish Bootleg Bull figure I finally was able to get me hands on. I originally spotted this in a lot on ebay and tried buying it, but the seller didn't have paypal and wouldn't accept US dollars. I tried for about a week to figure out how to get this little guy, and finally was able to strike a trade with the guy in Spain. I was able to trade 4 MOC mini marvel figures that I picked up at a dollar store several years back....haha....and I might add that the whole transaction was done in spanish using an online translator that did not like the spanish words this guy was using. Luckily, I had four years in high school and was able to stumble my way through the conversation.

Anyways, this figure is very very strange. It is slightly smaller than the normal bull figure and this figure is also very flexible, just like a gumball figure. This figure has also been modified to include the 3 horns on its head and spikes around it ankles. The spikey parts on the wrist are also much more pronounced. This figure was definitely molded from an original because it has the #10 on the back of its head. I still have no clue what it is, but its cool and I got a good deal.

Enjoy!

Do the arms move or are they attached/one piece?

[yaggi482]

The arms both move....not very well, but they were cast separately.

Well, I'm no expert, but I have come to the conclusion that...it certainly looks more like the Buffalo.

Oh....definitely, it is a bootleg or custom based on the regular figure. I just put up the picture of the canadian bootleg just for size and style comparison...I wasn't trying to say the candian bootleg had anything to do with this spanish figure.

I'm telling you, Spanish GUMBALL!

I thought it was strange nothing similar like the Japanese Gumballs was ever done over here.
But I think there is a STRONG possibility, they did do something similar...
Only not in white, but in pink...
WITH extra details and slightly smaller,
so the tall figures wouldn't have to be completely bent to fit in a gumball
The Japanese gumballs might have taught them that lesson...
I've seen how the giraffe is squeezed in the Jap. Gumball...

MAJOR COOL FIND, even bigger then my blue weapons
