Thought you might like to see this. Info from a friend in Japan: "Okloparchi" inspired from Gerry Anderson's Thunderbird Monster! Sold at last weekend's Super Festival in Tokyo.
By some amazing fluke, one of the samples has shown up on Mandarake's website. It's the first time I've ever seen one offered. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1050745318&ref=flist
Hi - Thank you so much for the update on this. Very disappointing news - I wonder if any prototypes were actually sold at the Toy Expo or if they were just for display and advanced orders. I would love to have seen this great Roger Dicken creation from TV21 as a figure - maybe this will inspire someone to try a garage kit of it. Thanks again for the news. Best wishes - John Swan

Alas, the figure was cancelled.
