The depth of your collection astounds. I especially like those two clears. Thanks for sharing the info and photos!
The dinos in the 4th (3rd from left) and 5th photos (far left) were derived from Tsukuda dino minis. Some of these are based on or are sculpts that I have never seen before. That's what I love about the old vinyls- you can still find things that no one knew existed. How hard is the clear vinyl? Those are really nice.
These are really awesome. I'd list my favorites, but I don't know where to start. I gotta start collecting vintage minis. The sculpting is just way to inspiring.
thanks for the extra info akum. the clears are a bit more squishy than the rest. glad you guys liked them, and thanks for the kind comments.
do you have all of your photos in one place, like flickr or something? I love them, amazing collection.
For a second I thought that the figures in the fourth photo had sparkles in the vinyl, then I realized that the "sparkles" were bubbles. These sorts of "blobby" OG kaiju are just the greatest. Thanks a million for the photos!
Got a real bargain on a handful of these guys, so I couldn't say no. That Zarab ripoff still eludes me though, so if anyone is willing to help out... Someone forgot to tell Red King this party was for Pachis only.
vintagevinyl - I couldn't help but notice that you have TWO Zarabesques up there in that pretty photo... Isn't that one too many ultrakaiju - every day a new gorgeous array! It's great to finally see what you've been up to in Kobe besides working all the time.
Posting here as it seems like the best fit. I picked up these pachi keshi gojira, but have no idea how old they are: One of them had a hole drilled for a keychain, so I'm guessing 1980's? Cute little guys. Would love to find more colors: Also, I wonder if the red variant was an inspiration for this Yuji Nishimura M1GO design:
I saw these Toho pachi on YJA (12-13cm tall per the listing). They look like bendies. Any idea how old they might be?
Yeah, Zach, these really caught my eye. I don't collect bendies, but these are some of the goofiest Toho knockoffs I've seen -- which is just rad.
