Hi everyone, Here is my 1st illustrated contribution to the board. Congratulation to you all, your collections are really great. I do not really collect black figures, but the idea of gathering the few I have for some pics motivated me. Here they are. Some might be redundant or variants of some posted here before.
Thanks ! The Gorilla is Ra (also called Lar) from the Spectreman series. This is a promo all black version. The gas-masked girl is an original production by Fetish Mode. It is called Lover-S (A Type). As for the Gargamel figure I think it is called Baby Gargamess. Of course everyone knows Doruge...
Great pics, I love monochromatic arrangements, makes completely different toys look cohesive together. That Fetish Mode figure often stands out in not such a good way when I see it in collection shots, but it works great with other black figures. The Lar mini is awesome, never seen that version before.
Those are some cool pieces for someone not collecting black pieces! Trade something to me Anyhow, a few assorted blacks of my own.
just got these in: vintage ddr cat vs. new japan zag ...totally in love with both! many thanks to Aaron for the hookup!!!
that cat is cool. I like the creepy eyes, they remind me of those Kit-Cat clocks that would have the back-and-forth motion eyes. any idea how old the toy is?
ooooooh, really good picture joe. very nice. good toy context as well as visual context. juxtaposition makes the world go round.
30 to 40 year old socialist toy. probably being produced for ages... usually comes with a tail that went missing.
