Oh, and I am definitely glad you did, Joe. If I had to lose out on a great toy, I don't mind when it is to a fellow SBer and a good chap. I really don't know anything about him, as I said, but tried my best google-fu on it. Maybe @Mark K can shed some light on this one? From what I recollect the description was 'Dinosaur Family' [恐竜家族] but whether this was meant to be generic line or title, or actually belonged to some license, I could not find out. I did, however, in my searches turn up this - completely unrelated, but nevertheless delightful - set of ankylosaurus family toys: http://www.dinotoymuseum.com/rm14/rm13402.html This was my other favourite find from that hunt (again, no clue) http://photozou.jp/photo/show/879881/52048880 Anyways, props for a great buy, and for being so quick on the trigger. And now back to those stunning M1 toys.
@rattanicus Beautiful shot, Rei. It feels like the sculpt or toy of the year for me. I know it was released in 2019, but I just received one earlier this year. I was trying to get a good photo of mine, but your outdoor photo is even better. Well done.
Thanks @deafmetal ! And yes, I would definitely give it those awards; good to know that the folks that made this hobby great are still kicking such ass!
Gorgeous, Patrick!!!! A phenomenal hunk of Yujimade vinyl, in such a delightful touch of paint and colour. I do love my Gammy sculpts, and this is right up there. Your outdoor photo is really showing off his beauty.
For some dumb reason, I sold my grey trio a few years back... (a couple of whom seen here hard at work back in '11) ...but at least I can take heart that they went to Dennis in Japan, himself host to one of the most worthy and impressive homes for Yujimades on the planet! I recall being quite amazed that the threesome didn't live there already. Tangent snap from the same old folder I found the other archive pic in: Full Metal Tsubu, September 19, 2011. Pestar, Dada, Garamon, bronze, gold
@toothaction we all sell from time to time, at least they went to a good home. I have always found the painted dadas tough, and this is the only one of the three I have
He's keeping a close watch on Ghidorah, each head of who's eyes are lingering where they shouldn't be, with thoughts of cutting in.
Welcome to the board @Temporal Marauder ! Making a splash already with some real treat entries. You've picked some really nice M1s to share. One thing I've mentioned a couple times on the board, it is less of an issue now probably now he has been opened, but just to be aware of you do have to watch out a little with the elastics from the original M1 points tags. They were never meant for long term life I don't think, so the elastics age rapidly, and at times this can damage the paint on the figure. Just something to keep an eye out on when considering long term display and/or storage.
