    I have some big toy trade regrets. I got really good stuff in exchange for these toys, but I miss them. I hope they come home one day, by cash/trade of course.

    Traded these to Kozik, I think they all sold in the "big sale of '06".
    - Glow with clear brain kaiju, painted yellow eye version (only exists as a prototype)
    - Skullwing Glow vinyl with silver spray (2/5)
    - clear purple blobpus

    Traded this to VGA for the mickey BXH toy.
    -unpainted glow in the dark vinyl, free give-away item in Japan, limited amounts made, a few partial test shots exist as well (4/5)

    I really wanted the Mickey at the time and it cost $300 bucks most places. I thought it was amazing to get that much in trade for the glow GF, I had paid 100 for at mandarake in tokyo. I was for sure bummed about the trade, because the ghostfighter is so cool.

    Today the boss, handed down a partial test shot from the archive. I will display it proudly in my case! Here is a photo. Thank Flynn!!

    Wow!! Dribble and drool. Real nice, and the pic looks great. Are the arms translucent black or is it just how the light is reflecting around the hands?

    It does look that way 'moco. Sexy indeed.

    Oh, and I don't have any trade regrets. Haven't sold or traded anything yet.
    I'm selfish that way!! :D

    That had to hurt to trade that kaiju brain and see it sold a couple months later. Ouch.

    Why is it that the stripped down, or solid colour versions seem the coolest? Whether it's the all black, GID or this combo.

    This is a thing of beauty and I love the "prototype" feel to it.

    I have quite a few toy regrets, but the toy gains and scores, outweigh them 10 to 1, so I am not complaining.

    I was looking at Club Tokyo at other versions of the M1 baby banks, and figured out that the set I just got was not painted by M1. They are pretty close, and not bad. But there are some colors/details off (notably the eyes), and also some sloppiness/overspray that is just not M1. I still like them, but now I feel like I paid too much. I don't think the sales listing misrepresented (at least I could not tell based on Google translate). I just did not look close enough.

    Sorry to hear that... from the photo the paint applications look OK (better than a lot of custom jobs I've seen) and the colors aren't terrible.

    Since 2008, I've sorely regretted not adopting the lime green Buta Baltan from Super 7 :x. After adopting a large herd of Buta dinos, my ex and I were leaving the store, and I caught a glimpse of the lime wonder on a shelf. My ex was in a hurry to go to dinner and said to come back next time. But Mr. Lime was gone on the "next time" visit! 14 years of longing, going on 15 years.... :x
