Damn, amazing vintage finds are popping up all over SB these days. Both that NA Poison Eel and the patchi Zokkibat are such beauties. You guys are making me all kinds of jealous.
Nice grab Jordan - one of my personal favorite figures. Weird to think that two of these dudes made the long trip from Japan to live within a few miles of each other in SoFla.
Wonderful! Haha...I had that very Mothra perched atop a red Maglite on my shelf for ages! She must really dig flashlights...
A little damaged but the price was right. Marusan stegosaurus and the other dino was something I first saw posted by dedoperucelli last summer. A PM from bryce_r mentions Yonezawa but this one has a large circled capital 'M' on the bottom of one foot.
I like that stegosaurus, by the way nice chameleon avatar. So I received those vintage vinyls yesterday. and a very old Bambi made just after the second war .He was very dark, but he was dusty after a cleaning, he looks good for his age!
Been waiting for this day for awhile! Years after either not being able to bid or one never coming up I found a King Flasher! Also never thought I'd score a bootleg dogface Devilman. I tried all last spring/summer losing about 10 auctions (ask Viva) always losing by 1000 yen or less, then finally I snag a minty bagged one for less than I would have paid for a loose one. I fell in love with Casshern via Jim's (vintagevinyl) pics and didn't realize he'd be that tall! Now for cleaning and finding space:
Thanks. I've had really nice toy luck lately. That Silver Mask was super cheap. Only 6260 yen. Great deal for a really cool toy.
Great. Like it wasn't enough already for you to rub the King Flasher in all of our faces, you just had to pile on a bucketload of other toy gems. Such an amazing package Lixx; not a thing there I don't absolutely love. Planning on opening the Devilman, or leaving him in that sweet bootleg packaging?
You know I could not resist opening it! The illustration is something else though. I have zero idea what it has to do with Devilman, but two bloodshot eyed dinosaurs fighting (or hugging?)? What is there not to love?
Congrats on those scores, Chris. That Devilman looks great! T-28 looks sad behind those villains though. you can send him on to me, if ya want to make more room
Thanks guys! Yeah I'm a bit perplexed on that one. I put the two KR Giant Villains on risers because the Casshern is just so much bigger than I expected and they kind of were getting covered up by him. Now Giant T28 is almost covered. Might have to shift him over if I can....stupid Garumega's back end is kind of taking up that opening.
Yeah, making the toys fit is part of the fun of new acquisitions, no? Your collection's looking great, man.
Displaying the large figures can be a problem, but it is one I would suffer from gladly. I actually generally think the minis/Popy sized guys are more difficult because they are all the same size, whereas with your display you have a nice variety of heights. You must be just about at the point where a full detolf will have to be just for vintage.
