The "What you just got in the Mail" Thread

The sting from not being able to attend SDCC this year doesn't hurt any longer! Thank you, you know who you are!

 

No kidding!..That and the yellow are my favorite sets.

 

Well, I didn't exactly get this in the mail. My wife found it at some little shop when we were over in England.

It's really squishy. Between that and the hole in the bottom of the foot, I thought it would be a squeaker. Does anyone know anything about it? Thanks!

 

Nice scores ! Congrats! Jeff

 

Wingnut - Don't know a whole lot about it other than it's interested me. I'm pretty sure I've seen versions of this on YJA while casting a wide net searching under "sofubi". Luke Rook may have also been working on something related with old molds? Seen here on instagram: http://instagram.com/p/TfgVQ/

 

yeah luke made a glow in the dark version of that. there is some vintage furniture knick knack store in england that are selling these ( maybe even producing) in different colors, but i cant find the shop anymore.

 

Thanks guys! The woman at the shop (Ark in Cambridge) was saying that these have been made in Japan by the same folks for 20+ years (who knows how true that is), and that they were expecting some different colorways to come in soon.

 

Been looking for this one for a few years, definitely one of my favourite releases to date.

 

zudon is a great toy

 

I believe they're called "Cheepy" dolls. Maybe "Cheep-ie"? (like Cupie) Something like that. I have that one and a yellow one with mouse ears on her hat. Bought them at a candy shop in Osaka. Also I have a GID one from Luke, he bought the mold from what I remember him telling me.

 

Nice score.

Here is the repro set Jeff is talking about:

nice Showa baby wingnut0

 

Bull Kong from Kikaida! Who makes that (or is it an oldie?)

 

Medicom Toy!!

 

^^^^^ Oh I really like him. Is this a new toy?

 

What is Bull Kong's yellowy hand meant to be?

 

Medicom Toy.
It was an early 2012 release, Japan only.
I really liked this release in pics but he looks even better in hand, they did a superb job on the Kikaida line.
Different textures on the vinyl from body to face and the collar has an even softer slicker finish.
They look like actual scaled models you could use during filming.
I'm obviously happy with my purchase.

 

Ye.. i don't know what the deal is with the drippy yellow tail coming out of his arm but i plan on finding out.
His other hand seems to be retracting back into his arm, so i'm guessing another soggy yellow whip can be produced?
What it do?

 

Great mail day

^^ Yeah, Sunguts . . . I missed the GID version, but this clear red makes up for it . . . .

 

Thanksgiving has arrived ahead of schedule!

Thanks to the awesome board member that made it happen!
