The vinyl mammoth and mastodon thread.

I've been on a mammoth kick lately.

First up, this glorious beast! It's a vinyl savings bank from the now-defunct Cosmo Credit Union. There's no maker's mark on it but it is said to be manufactured by Bandai. A priceless artifact from Japan's "bubble burst" of the 1990s:



Next, this guy from Pekin Genjin, a 90s "cavemen in modern times" film. Bandai made this figure and it was sold as a theater exclusive. The little cavemen plug into the buy guy's back:



I know there's a Y-MSF mammoth out there, does someone here have it? If so, please post pics!

 

Here’s my fivestar toys Mammothman, with secreter for scale. He’s large and in charge.

 

Neat! Is it a licensed character from a show or something?

 

Yes! He’s an evil wrestler from Kinnikuman!

 

Fun thread! I propose this cute & hairy creature ~

 

Rampage Toys, right?

 

Hoping to see @Mark K post a woolly behemoth in this thread.

 

Grumble Toy Manmorah!

 

From Daiwa quoits set:


Marushin:


Got him at a trade/meet-up during a Toy Karma. Marked 1/1. Would love to know who painted it as it is stellar:


Not vinyl, but, hey...Marx/MPC mammoths from 60s, keshi and a recent 3d puzzle.

 

Oh man, that Marushin one is fantastic.

 

Yet another sighting of the incredibly rare Marushin mammoth in @Mark K 's collection. Thank you, sir. Enjoying all the other ones as well.

 

oops...almost forgot about this guy

 

So great, what’s he from?

 

He's from the manga/anime series/movie, First Human Gon.

 

Love that design! Does he glow?

Not vinyl, but I also discovered a Pekin Genjin plush set:

 

Agh, looks like those toys are hard to get!

 

yes

 

Hey, I painted that version of Manmorah. I don't remember which show it was for, but it was early on as it's on the first colour of vinyl we got for it. Glad you like it.

 

Pretty sure this is a Y-MSF mammoth but could not find pix of this vintage-like paint job. It is unmarked.

 

That's it! Funny you should bump this thread today, Mark, I was hunting one of those yesterday. I even messaged them on Facebook to ask if they had any brown ones left, they just have unpainted gray and a painted "bronze" one that I don't like. They also did a green one that glows, I think. I'll find one eventually.

 

Do alien mammoths count?



Of course they do.

There's also this cool reaper toy.

Spoiler: shinigami

 

Love these Space Harrier mammoths!

 

Let us all take a moment to praise the vigilant paleosofubologist @Mark K who spotted the Y-MSF mammoth I was looking for:



It was part of this YJA lot which I got for 2,900 yen. I am pretty sure this is the Y-MSF figure they were selling for 5,000, but there is no maker's mark and it has a gold stripe down that back, just like the one Mark posted. Either way, I love it. He's getting scrubbed up in the sink right after I post this, as you can see he's pretty filthy.
