Okay, this is a total long shot but... A few years ago, in a trade, I got a 4-inch T-Rex vinyl that is clearly marked Takatoku on the feet. This guy is brown and 4-inches tall. Has anybody ever seen any other 4-inch dinosaurs made by TT? Any ideas what series this figure could be from? (I have seen some die-casts vehicles called Born Free: Dinosaur Hunters or something like that...)
you may want to try photobucket.com . thats what keith hooked me up with . yes i have seen the hawaii kittyfire . maybe brian or mike have it and i would thnk that sanford has one . think the paint is the same just the vinyl is flesh . the only other gronken ( hawaii ) i have seen is owned by mike and is shown in his clubtokyo gallery . brian didnt even know that a hawaii gronken exsisted till he saw mine and his knowledge of hawaii vinyls is better than almost any out there in the U.S . the auction for the hawaii kanagon is over on yahoo and i think it went for 240 000 yen or something like that . that would make 5 that i have seen .
here you go chad . there are 3 takatoku vinyls . they came individualy packaged and also all 3 together in one pack . also some color variations ( red t rex ) and from what i saw nothing to do with any show .
this is a dino from marushin . lots of color on this guy . when i got to meet takeshit in japan i found out he was a vinyl dinosaur collector also. i think he was surprised that i collected them too . he also told me marushin made a extremely rare wholly mamamoth figure . been looking for ever since he told me and finally one showed up on yahoo . didnt even come close to winning it .
giant size ninja arashi enemy . thanks roger . do you still talk to jim c ? read that you were going to japan in the summer . thats brutal . i did that once ....just once .
I haven't been in contact with Jim C. in a while. That Styracosaur is KILLER! My favorite dinosaur, and the paint job is incredible. I didn't know Marushin made vinyls.
Awww Jim you're spoiling us.... Didn't know you managed to find the screwheaded guy ! I still havent found one
wish i could remember the screw headed guys name . yeah , for some reason thats the really hard to get one . trying to remember but i think hes from zone fighter . ran into a guy in japan who collected zone fighter and godzilla and he had been looking for that vinyl for a long time . would like to see more of your collection akumizer ... well as much as you can show as i know you dont have room to display it all.
Didn't the Pogo figures come with a bottle of soap or something like that? I had 4 and a double or two but not the 2 figures on the far left in the line-up. Are these part of the series?
