After purchasing my first vintage Takoda/ Peach dino I came across the Butanohana dino figures. I love the size of these guys, about 5 inches, great paint, pretty substantial thick vinyl and the whole retro feel they exude. These minis seem to be homages to some of the Takoda / Peach vinyls I've seen in some of Jim's posts, particularly the Dino bird, the one that looks like the one from "Mysterious Island". I opened a few after I took the pics and my son and I were smiling ear to ear over the great look and qualty of these fellas. Please share pics of your Dino figures guys, I'd love to see them!
I love the dino and the Bob's Big Boy breakfast buffet. Sweet score, post pics with the Butanohana crew when they show up. I love those guys.
Re: My First Takoda/Peach Dino let's just say these pics are the prelude to upcoming pics... ...added dino comment heh heh.
thats not an easy one to find . looks like its in terrific shape .please post those mini dinos when you get them . the link you sent of them was killer . maybe we need to start a dino thread .
I should be receiving the Butanohana's next week so I'll post pics and start thread then. The interesting thing is that the Butanohana minis reminded me of these Takodas, at least some of them did. It certainly looks like Butanohana was maybe paying a little homage to them. I'm hoping you can make some comparisons to your peach/takoda collection Jim once I get pics up, and blow my mind seeing more of your vintage pieces.
you are absolutely correct . those mini dinos look a lot like the takoda dinos . start a thread with those dinos and i will thow some stuff up .
finally got around to taking pics of the Butanohana dinos...I would love to see other vintage dinos ....
I'm just starting to appreciate the Butanohana dinosaurs myself - but they are proving hard to find. do you mind providing some "tips" on where to get 'em?
these are a great gimmick toy . magnetic heads ! so far as i can tell nakajima made 2 different dinos like this . unfortunately the other dino i have only has one head .
Here you go. http://www.butanohana.jp/ some sold out on the butanohana site, but Grumble Toy has been getting these too.
There was one colorway of one of the dinos listed that was sold out. I purchased all the onees that were available at the time but there may have been others. There was a caveman set released but I don't know when or if other dino colorways exsisted prior to the ones I received. I'll have to try to get more info.
Love those Gorillas, Grumble had them this morning but I can't find them now, must'vew thought too long about them. Neat stuff and great colors.
these are very small handpainted mini dinos with bootleg ultra kaiju . i think the original price on them was like 50 yen .
