Popy Gaiking mini sofubi set

This set is awesome! Total FUNK.





I really don't care for "vehicle" sofubi, like the gingaizer ships or iron gear for example, but these just fucking rock. I didn't think it could get funkier than the Popinika diecasts but low and behold..

 

Gorgeous set, Unca Sjoen!

I covet your Nessar. I still need one.

Do you have the Daikumaryu? I just have the Unifive reissue...good 'nuff for me...

 

Damn Eric, those are cool. How are you finding these?

 

Sanjeevery,

Dude, you should pick up the popy mini Daikyu. It's only $25 or so on YJP. Well worth it. I have one on the way.

Gatchabert,

Obsessive YJP searching and networking. Feel the love.

 

ugh...yja...i won't go there. I'm afraid of that place.

 

Seriously?? Wow..... Why? Do tell.

 

Because of the money it would suck from my bank account...hahahahaha.

 

pussy.

 

Oh, I have the mini! Cute lil bugger. Looks like a cat with two stove-pipe legs! I don't have the original Popy mid-size Daiku that Unifive reissued. The reissue's good 'nuff for me (though it looks out of place...all shiny and new & shit).

I also recently scored the fish-eye lens Gaiking, but I got it mainly for the card art. I'm pretty sure you have that one, Erik.

 

That is amazing...

 

Was the Uni-Five toy a reissue of something or was it just a new toy with a vintage-style sculpt?

 

I believe it's close to the original but not exactly the same (much like the Uni 5 jumbos)

 

I love the little dino with wings

I'd love to see a wider shot though, I've always wondered how people display their "boxed" collections

 

It was my understanding (though it could be completely wrong) that the Unifive reissue was the same sculpt, but slightly different coloring...

 

Can anyone produce a picture of the original? I've never seen nor heard of a vintage Daiku Maryu vinyl aside from the mini sofubi.

 

I believe that there are two different sizes of the Daiku Maryu vinyl.

Also, I used to have a comparison pic of the Unifive and Popy releases, but I can't find it now. Maybe its at home.

Anyway, here's the smaller Popy one.






And while looking through my pics, I found this one of a green-headed one!

 

Ha! Unfortunately my collection isn't displayed it's stored, out of necessity of course.. What can I say, I live in San Francisco and have a SERIOUS space issue.

Great contributions to this thread! Thanks guys!
