    Love playmobil too, my favorite aspect is the European touches... like the butcher shop (!) came with a string of bratwurst and ring bologna. I like the medieval themed stuff...

    Just got this book the other day from gomineko books, full of kaiju production sketches ......

    ^ AMAZING!! I love that style of artwork from the old magazines, records, etc. Were there ever compilations like this of the old kaiju artwork? I know there are tons of kaiju books out there, but I don't recall seeing a book dedicated to these types of illustrations.

    Could just as well have put this in the 'Comics' thread I suppose, but anyhow. This has been my reading material of late. Spoiled for cartoon boobage. (because I am sure it is shocking to all of our innocent internet readers)


    And shot of a great article on toy robot collectors from one of these issues. I know, most people on this forum don't know what it was like to collect in the pre-internet days, but this kind of stuff has fascinating insight. And it builds a knowledge of the history for people new to the general area. If you think spending four months checking a few internet sites to find your 'grail' makes you a guru of collecting, might want to reconsider that. I know, no one on here would ever think that though.

    Anyhow, Metal Hurlant FTW.
