Oh Congratulations Scott! Didn't realize you had the other two! I'm just beginning my journey on the Nakjima winders--beautiful critters! Thank you for the info on the Doragorie MIB -- lucky ducky! Just about fainted when I saw the Tigermask soaky in your Flickr too! Good luck with the move! It looks like a doozy!
What a cool package day. So much goodies. That Ultraman box art alone would have me jumping with joy.
That Turboranger bike is beautiful. Seeing vintage Sentai toys still mint in packaging makes me feel good in all the right places.
Some great pick ups Scott. Ive seen that rider man pachi before but never knew he was that big. Is that a mirrorman bike light or something?
Hey Jonathan! There is also a small version of that pachi riderman that looks very similar.. there is a few in that series like the Inazumen and the rider Strongers that look like they just up'ed the size to standard. Yes the Mirrorman bike accessory - light up eyes and sounds !
What a fantastic haul, Scott! All very choice toys and goodies you picked up there. Congratulations on finally getting the Gokiburi Otoko for a good price, I know you have been hunting him for some time. One step closer to completion! Very happy that you snagged that auction for the pair of pachi Mach Barons, I really do love those guys, and that was a very lucky grab. I am trying to keep building on my pachis, but the hunt for these ones is going to get a priority I think. Brilliant KR camera too, a perfect accompaniment to that great bootleg. What is that great Ultraman Jack game or model? The illustration puts me in mind of that nice Earthtron batting toy. Lovely Gomora too, great paint on the one you picked up. Surprisingly, and excellent figure that is still very affordable if you do some hunting and are patient. I think that the Marusan Doragory was one of my first few acquisitions when I was in Japan. He does have such a fun, goofy expression in the mid-size version.
@Sanjeev - Great link thankyou! I also have a facination with this robo but never knew his name.. I cant take a shot of them all as my stuff is in storage at the mo but I did make a collage of a few of mine .. One villian to go - Ambassador Hell.. he is a pricey bastard! The Ultra jack box is a game, maybe someone can help me out with the translation on the front, but you press on the character and a detail panel pops up ..
"帰ってきたウルトラマンニチガンの怪獣文字あそび" box states "Return of Ultraman Character Play Nichigan Kaiju". Nichigan is a traditional game that were traditionally made of wood. Some thing like this:
Quit posting awesome robots guys, I have trouble enough my silly monster toys, arrghhh! Fantastic game Scott, thanks for the extra pic. If I am remembering correctly, this is a type of game designed to help learn character sets, but what makes this version even better is that it appears to have a monster character profile on the obverse of each card. Man, I love it! Very funny too how you can see the patent numbers there (Canada, England, Germany)....where was this kind of awesomeness when I was growing up (in at least two of those three countries!)? Nay, I demand restitution.
^^^ If that is true, can they make a version that teaches you all of the toy maker Kanji and monster character names? Adding pictures of toy maker logos would be a plus! I could really benefit from that one!
Only if I can come over and play too, Grace! [Sorry, I realised after I wrote it that it might sound confusing from my poor wording. character ≠ character . In my own oblique fashion I was referring to hiragana. ]
Great score @Johnny Black that Dino looks in great shape, but my favorite it´s the Mashira villain, I think it's an excellent addition to any collection. Still in my want list

@Johnny Black - Some nice grabs. I find that Moonlight Mask figure interesting. Any markings on it? Some junky old toys I received.
@Johnny Black - Love those dinos and prehistoric-looking kaiju. Great collection! @chimply.kaiju - Congrats on the awesome scores, Anthony. Great to see those toys going to such a good home.
Woah! some killer stuff there Anthony. Those ultra face changers are hard to find. I only have the ultra mom in that line. King MaiMai is also really gorgeous toy. Congrats!
Love the King Mai Mai and the flesh peeking through the paint on the Gomora! Congrats on some great toys!
