Sho' yo' Butas for Lixx

Outtakes now available.

Thanks, friends! The product of a pleasant afternoon spent amongst the seasonal insects.

I'd LOVE to stage a full re-enactment, Jeff. Just send me your pretty invertebrate!

 

Ain't no party like a capsule party.

Holy shamolians Batman, just when I thought I couldn't possibly feel any more envy over the amazing toys you were sharing on this page, you go and post those. Honestly, the Toho duo, then rubbing it in my face with those Gundam fellas (!), and now this lovely duo. You sure now how to share some proper toy beauties, D.

Ah, the eager anticipation. I can well imagine their anxiety for uniting with their cousins. Two superb toys, and to be expanding the family further is really something. I might begrudge you for being greedy and 'doubling' up, when so few are out there, if it weren't for the fact that these two are just so amazing. Nice photos good buddy! Looking forward to the party I am sure is to come.

 

You're too kind, Steve... as ever. It's been quite fun bringing these old friends and new recruits out for little field trips. An ailing camera had kept me from my usual pace of compulsive posting, but then a good friend here set me up with his spare snapper; I've been making up for lost time ever since!

As for the anticipation part, though, I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.

Brent - Indeed! Those knobby-headed, bulging-eyed, frowney-faced weirdos were meant for each other.

 

Errands with the Leo boys.

Am I off base in thinking that these two are a couple of the most undervalued charmers from Oohashi's stable? No one ever seems to talk about or photograph them.

A "Toy Surprise" in every box!

A quickie snap taken for a friend tonight. Thanks again to Grace for the unbelievably awesome snack box.

And a great photo is it too, of a very respectable toy.

For those who might not remember, or weren't around at the time, this was one of the best package designs I have ever seen, let alone a purely voluntary and incredibly creative set-up for a toy bundle, or any new arrival on SB. I still randomly reflect on the brilliance of Grace's concept. The relevant post can be seen here:

And, because that one probably won't lead you to the right place, a bonus photo shoot of them,

I posted a similarly indulgent spread in this very thread, too: viewtopic.php?p=786783#p786783
Mo' Buta, thankfully, is immune to SB's little man-made search bug. I still shake my fist at the culprit almost every day. Bless his heart.

You remain the rulingest, Gracie! I look forward to you lavishing us with photos of your own spectacular Buta clan very soon.

Great to see those new arrivals Lixx! I can't think of a batch of toys more suited to coax you out of pseudo-retirement. I love the new batch of Butas, every one of them, and am glad to see some first signs of them arriving in SBers hands. As for the lab reports, well I know personally how painful that can be at times, but I am sure it helps to have these vinyl lab assistants to help you along the path.

 

Lixx pix, hurrah! I'd be happy that anybody was breaking my unintentional monopoly on new eye candy for this thread, but it being Chris is extra special.

Congrats on having landed the excellent new duo, sir. Nice - and only a little bit painful - to see your pretty Icarus again, too.

 

NKOTB.

I am simultaneously both lifted and crushed seeing those lovely photos. Congrats on the new Butarrivals, David.
