HOW'S YOUR TOY COLLECTION??

[Salami Swami]

My shit is looking pretty good after this last trip to Japan. Stocked up on Kikaida, Kamen Rider, Gorangers, and Zaboga this time. I spent a good amount of cash, and had I had more money, no doubt I would have not been able to control myself. I was on a mission, putting it simply. I hit so many goddamn toy stores and collector spots, people thought I was a freak. Now I can finally compete with my boy Hartsel. He's getting his shit sent from LA, so I had to import some more shit straight from the source to keep up. My man has the illest shit. My man Slick is no slouch either when it comes to the collection.
I know there's a ton of you heads that are into this shit.
Holla back. I want to know what you got and where the fuck you got it.

Ahh man. That's the stuff I want. I grew up on that shit. I would skip Gorangers because they only remind me of the Power Rangers.

This past week I was starting to remember a few more characters like Inazuman, Hakaida and his brothers, Mirrorman, Rainbowman and even that candyass Robocon. I need to go back to the store and pick up something with Kikaida.

Tokyo's definitely the place to score major toys. When last I was there, I dropped major quiche on all sorts of cool shit. Customs saw me coming and were only concerned about whether I had bootleg Star Wars shit or not.

I nabbed a bunch of Lupin shit, a 12" Golgo 13 doll, a bunch of crazy posters, fashion magazines (that's important)and a lot of other crap. I can't remember exactly where I got everything because it was just a mad dash to find the coolest shit in the short time that I was there. It was a real bitch bringing back all that stuff though.

I had kind of a hard time bringing back the booty (not that booty, that's a different story), but I managed to cram all my goodies into the right spots and it worked out good.
Customs was a joke. Skated right through in less than 5 mins.

[Captain Cactus]

Yeah, they didn't check any of my bags or anything. They just grilled ne about Star Wars loot.

[empanadamn]

i've collected some old KISS shit. not on purpose, but because i was a head when i was born. so i have a thermos lunch pail (aluminum) that i rocked from kindergarten - 3rd grade.

but some stuff i have now:

mcfarlane KISS figures 1-3 (doubles of a few)
futura 2000 / unkle - figure & blow up pod
random japanese stuff
christina aguilera & britney spears ACTION FIGURES

then some old transformers from back in the day.
peace.

[kamenriderv3]

things have changed since this thread started. the return of kikaida has boosted my collection several times over.

hopefully krv3 will return on kiku too.

[Asharak]

I have a Homer Simpson Pez dispenser. Does that count?

[Ricky]

in japan I stocked up on simpsons cus its not popular, zoids, macross stuff. I just got into collecting 12 inch toys like tokyo tribes, threezero. anyone know where I can get replacement heads for 12 inch as well as sneakers. I just got a pair of air prestos for my monkey's playground figure.

[frogbelly]

I got pics of Ricky's collection with my super secret spy cam.

[utinni2]

I got a few of the newer star wars stuff, including the slave 1 remake. I got the bomb Gimli action figure and of course I'm sure a few of you have heard of my "great yoda hunt" story, so I have him and count Dooku. Oh I just realized I've still got the lego monorail set at home along with my collection of Mcfarlane spiderman comics, Oh, guess I've also got two Starcraft action figures too, Space Marine and Protoss. I had a Zerg one but when I was in Korea one of the movers bought it from me.

[jinzoningen]

I got Kubricks, M-Ichigo Godzillas, a shitload of
super deforms, some Ultraman Bandais,
Kikaida/Kamen Rider Hot Wheels, and
some Medicom RAH figures. My latest passion is
Wacky Wobblers by Funko. These are some of
the best looking nodders around.

Oh yeah, and I just ordered the Marvel Kubricks and
some Bearbricks from Ningyoushi.com.

Hey Salami, post some pics of your shit. I wanna see
what you picked up from Japan!

[FirstOfMany]

the "oops i did it again" britney must be a classic.. ;)

thnx for the Ningyoushi.com link, good stuff.

i have some toys in boxes atm i am afraid.. i did collect figures for a while... i think i like my Transmetropolitan fig of Spider Jerusalem the best right now - the alternate version where he comes with his Bowel Disruptor gun instead of the two-headed cat and laptop.

[Salami Swami]

Fuck, man.
Shirokiya has all this shit now that was once really hard to find, and I don't know if I'm stoked or kind of bummed on it.
Hakaida motorcycle Hot Wheels? A shitload of 'em.
New Jiro, Kikaida, and Hakaida mini-figures? Kick ass ones for 10 bucks.
Shirts up the ass, I'm talking like 15 or so different designs at least, (mostly kids sizes though) posters, cell phone antenna thingys, CD soundtracks, etc.
There was this one Hakaida (the anime version) figure that is about 18" tall, holy shit I wanted that bastard until I saw that it was 150 bucks!
I guess the demand for Kikaida stuffs is big enough to justify a whole section of the toy department in a major mall store.
It used to be really hard to find any of that kind of stuff, and it seemed like it was far more rewarding when you did stumble upon something special that you'd never seen before, at least that's how I feel, anyway.

[blink]

got me loads of kaiju figures, more than a hundred, mostly from the Ultraman series. also 6 inch, 8 inch Godzilla figures. Some 24 inch Jumbo Machinders, assorted die-cast robots like Grandizer and his gang from back in the day. Medicom 12 inch Super Robots, Astro boy, Giant Robo and too many other assorted stuff to list.

shit, i have so many that i'm trying to thin the herd now. drop me a line if any of you guys are interested.

[Salami Swami]

Here's some of my stuff

Kamen Rider (kamenriderV3 can you dig it?)

[CaptainPajamaShark]

why'd you all have to get me started?

Ok, where do I start? I still have loads of toys from when I grew up in Japan. My Par Man "Booby" doll, Votoms "Brutish Dog" robot, loads of Gundam models, Ultraman figures, diecast Tetsujin 28, assorted Kubricks (Beat Takeshi Battle Royale Kubrick, Planet of the Apes, Reservoir Dogs, my SSUR Kubrick which Ningyoushi still hasn't sent me...grrrrr), a giant Devilman figurine, a giant Grandizer figure, an old vintage Ge Ge Ge No Kitaro plastic doll from the 1960's and more. Most recent purchases include the Michael Lau Lamdog Gold, Money Mark Traveller & Baby Milo Bape figure.

I still want to get me some of the diecast robots I've been seeing online like Combattler V, Mazinger, Raideen, etc. Shit's expensive!

Gorangers rule!!!

I'll be shelling out mad dough up in there just like last year when I came up on some gems. Hard to keep my composure in the presence of all that merch.

On the japanese news this morning the guy who plays ultraman right now was arrested this month of beating and swindling his friend out of 450000 yen. The show is being cancelled and the toys with his likeness are being recalled.

Was browsing some sites.... those Three Zero figures are pretty cool.... the more I look at em, the more I like em. They're pretty detailed.... it would be cool to make some custom clothes for em (a la jing!)... In terms of wish list.... I've had my eye on that 1/12 scale helicopter... seen it for $68 at Toys R Us.... not bad.

they are really cool, but kinda cheaply made. The clothes are kinda sewn badly, and the figures fall alot. Tokyo Tribes is the shit, next time you goto toy tokyo as soon as you walk in, make short left and look up, they're on the top shelf against the wall next to the doot.

Yah.... I think I know which ones you're talking about! Meant to mention it in my ealier post.... but these figures are pricey! I guess they sort of supposed to be produced in limited quantities. I really want to get a couple of unkle figures.... I wish I picked some up when they were first released!

In my experience those are rare, even the newer models like you have. The originals, forget it, those are seriously hard to find. Even if you do locate some, they would most likely be super expensive.
You never know though, its not uncommon to stumble upon some shit at the swap meet, or at somewhere like Goodwill or Salvation Army. Its been known to happen, my friend came up on 5 original Kikaida and Kikaida 01 soundtrack LP's in cherry condition for 5 bucks at Savers once.

Yeah, forget the vintage stuff. I won't pay a premium for
nostalgia's sake. However, I did find an old, intact 45 rpm
Inazuman single at my parent's house not too long ago.
And let me tell you, it did bring back some memories.

i put my head down in shame. all i have is a michael lau mc yan black version.

I can never have enough will power to leave them in the sealed box. I suck.

I have mazinger and aprodhite 1900, gundam models and a very cheap eric so figure (a pissed fat guy with red shirt and spiky hair and "02" in the shirt) standing on the tv...

next target will be kubricks (MGS and bearbrick), michaul lau figure and eric so..... and a big bootlegged bearbrick for living room display (the army motif)

and a mazinkaizer....

I'm the opposite. I have a tough time figuring out whether
I should unpack them, thus rendering them "unminted".
Besides, sometimes the packaging is cooler than the
figures.

I still can't figure out what the big deal is about the whole
Michael Lau/Eric So phenomenon. Those figures are so
overpriced and they look like muppets.

Are you talking about the crazy children cartoony stuff or the 12 inch realistic figures?

That's a dope Kamen Rider set you got there.
Nice to see Amazon Rider, Riderman, Rider-X and some of the more underappreciated dudes in the series.

i sent an email to robocon to relay to your email...since i can't send to you from the gr forum. i can pick up that hakaida figure for less than $90. if you want me to get you one then email me.

i picked up the jiro figure but its vinyl and not metal like the kikaida.

i'm leaving on early on monday morning. its friday night 11pm now if that helps for a reference point. i'll check my mail tomorrow and probably sunday.

i been picking up some tinibiz (kubrick-like) of ultraman and kamenrider but the tinibiz stuff is not as common around here. tinibiz comes in large sizes too.

tons of kubricks in hk and macau. even more than the michael lau and the other hk toy guy.

That Girl Jing's girls are so fly! I'm sooooo j! I'm def inspired to get off my ass! Anywho.... I myself have no real collection to talk about, but my little bro is a toy fiend. All this time I thought there was something wrong with him (now some of you make him look a little more normal!). The kid literally gets crates shipped to his apt., from tokyo, full of toys! All his walls are completely covered.... he's got 2 storage lockers that he rents.... fuckin psycho. I asked him what the deal was cause none of them are opened.... he tells me he has "doubles"!?!.... one to play with and one to display! I've got to post picks of his collection. His apt. puts Toys R Us to shame!

Yo, I basically have the complete set of the
WORLD OF SPRINGFIELD Simpsons figures...
(Series 1-9, not including playsets-
but I do have a grip of them as well.)
excluding the dumb ass exclusives. I even
have my own custom figure made by a dope
as toymaker HeadsUpCustoms, he is
making some custom Simpsons figures for an
upcoming issue of TOYFARE mag.

If they ever release the original G1 Transformers, I'll be sure to get ahold of those too! No more Cherry bomb explosions... promise.

[Ricky]

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com has a sale on damaged boxed vf-1's for the same price they're selling for in japan. This for those who take their toys outta box and dont give a rat's ass about collecting for profit.

[kogepan66]

I have weird moments in which I blow a ton of cash on collecting something and then it sits in the closet forever.

It all started in 3rd grade with Strawberry Shortcake. Then in 5th grade (approx. 1982), Cabbage Patch Kids, Smurfs and Michael Jackson trading cards. Then it was Atari games. I've also wasted moola on Mad magazines (not to mention "Cracked", and "Crazy"), comic books, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more recently, Kogepan stuff, Homies, Mashimaro and Afro Ken. Plus I've got a kids' book collection that takes up half my house. I need serious help.

Two of my newest faves are Rodie and Babie. I first spotted Rodie - a fetichistic rubber blowup kids' hobby horse-cum-stool with stumpy legs - in the childrens departments of Taiwanese department stores and thought at the time it was kinda cool. Here in Hong Kong I've spotted all sorts of variations on it in the little hole-in-the-wall toy shops in malls here, like Rodie wooden clocks and dangly things, mini Rodies etc... Babie is like a baby version of Bambie - I'm assuming there's no connection but can't seem to find anything on it on the net. Never really noticed before. Lots of those too but I love the 12inch-high vinyl moneyboxes

[domu]

Toynami... Dear FUCKING GOD. Please, anyone who buys robot toys, take note.

Anyone here into transforming robot toys knows that Shoji Kawamori's Valkyrie design is probably the sweetest transforming robot of all time, and the subsequent toys, from the Bandai 1/55ths to Jetfire to the Yamato Macross VF19...

Toynami announce they're making THE MASTERPIECE COLLECTION Robotech Vertiech fighter. They say it'll be the greatest version of this toy ever. It costs upwards of 70 bucks.

It's the biggest piece of shit I've ever bought. Hip joint broke as soon as i took it out of the box. I opened it up to see what fixing I could do and discover that it's merely plastic tabs that are hinging the joints. The arms don't fit snug. The wings can't sweep forward (and barely do) in Gerwalk mode. The die cast content (supposedly 60%) is a load of horseshit. Everything about this reeks of cheapness and sloppiness. And on top of that they threaten anyone trying to distribute Macross toys from Japan in the US with legal action.

Now Yamato have done a 1/48th scale Valk that will own and conquer all... Can't wait for that. Check this and drool:

http://64.246.24.14/macross/toys/148_proto/_proto_1_48.htm

As for myself, I'm big into Bandai's robot model kits... Dig the Patlabor redos big time. Been building Gundams since I was 12. But nothing, nothing... Can touch my Perfect Grave Eva 01.

I agree - I've read a few reviews on this redesigned masterpiece Macross VF19 and found that most of the buyers were really dissapointed due to the build quality. I went over to the local Manga shop the other day and checked it out. The MF19 was there and nicely packaged but upon close inspection I found that the paint looked as if it were caked onto the metal limbs and the details were poorly done as well. In a nutshell, it looked really sucky.I decided not to buy it because it just didn't fit the description of a $120.00 pricetag!

[cerealkilla]

that sucks. you would think that they would at least equal Jetfire.

[domu]

The Bandai 1/55th reissues that you can buy right now in various places as an import are for all intents and purposes minus the paint scheme the original jetfire. I think they just released Roy Fokker's VF1-S with FAST packs, which is Jetfire with all the extra armor, pretty much.

But the way to go is Yamato. Their 1/48th scales were supervised and approved by Kawamori himself.

The problem is Toynami via Harmony Gold threaten legal action against anyone trying to distribute these toys in the U.S. Hence the jacked up prices. Go Ebay for 55 bucks on the Yamato 1/60 scales. Transformation's a bitch but they're beautfiul.

Their crazy (almost 2 feet tall!) Super Dollfie (http://www.volks.co.jp/c_goods/superdollfie/topframeset.html) line looks like a lot of fun to work with : glass eyes (eyelashes, too!), wigs, make-up, paints, cute gothic lolita clothes, etc. It's an expensive hobby though - an SD doll with basics for a one time customization (one look) can cost $500 US dollars alone....figuring that and the cost of all the other stuff I would probably want to get, if i had one, scares my boyfriend to death ;)

Right now the schedule goes:

Hikaru VF-1A
Max VF-1A
Fokker VF-1S (the one everyone's waiting for obviously)

Looks like the Do You Remember Love paint schemes.

No word on the updated YF-19 they're doing with FAST packs... Since the first set of YF-19's in 1/72 scale go for like 120$ on Ebay gotta get that when it hits.

Supposedly they will also release FAST packs and seperate heads for the three releases.

[Cornelius]

the 19 fastpacks??? i only read about the 21 fast pack ver.

There's also a limited edition version of these figures with red-striped Adidas sweats instead of the leather jackets. Something like only 100 sets available in the U.S.

Hey Jing.... got any info? I still have to pick up a x-mas present for my little brother.... I don't think he's got that version yet!

It was made in 2000, patterned after a customized Lain doll by Konaka ( doll fan and artist) and pretty pricey since it was made in extremely small quantities, from what I gather at Konaka's site -100?! - I've seen a few online doll shops carry it for 60-80 odd dollars but since Lain hit these shores, I've seen it go as much as $100+. Once again.... THANKS JING! Now I have to figure out if my brother is worth it.... hehe! I guess he's lucky I'm not a collector. Actually this might be perfect.... I don't no too much about figures/dolls/toys ect... but this really looks like something he would want and I know he's always lookin for stuff that's hard to get a hold of.

[evillilgirl]

jing your the WOMAN ^_^ you always have a answer for every question I have. You rok!

Yes I am very much getting into the whole doll thing. I want more of them now..lol I got soo excited over this doll and my fiance only got it because it was lain..but after he realized that I had wanted to start the doll customizing he gave me a strange look..lol but he understands..he said he even stoped in the barbie section to look for like a bussiness barbie suit,something we could turn into a school girls outfit.HA!

I told him that barbie clothes is way hoeish and tacky in some parts too..that we would have to order her an outfit..lol. Watch out evil's going start making dolls!
I really like the jujube doll site you posted too. Thanx Jing for all the great info.

Those school girls pics you posted are cute! I like some of the whole goth lolita look, (reminds me of fruits) good inspiration for drawing characters.
That's why I love these dolls because I can pose them and not have to have another reference,plus they are mui mui cute. :D

Eagerly awaiting for Feb. because of this bad boy: Yamato's 1/48 VF-1A. Found a place that is pre-ordering it for $139.99. Gimme gimme gimme.

Here's the lowdown (http://64.246.24.14/macross/toys/148_sample/_sample48main.htm) about it.

atomic, that vf-1 is friggin hot, but way out of my price range, the current yamato's (do you remember love versions) are good nuff for me, still considering if i want to buy the armored version one...

Yeah, $140 is pretty steep, but I just can't let this one pass.

Are you talking about the old Takatoku Armored Valks? 'Cuz those are suhweet.

http://64.246.24.14/macross/toys/gbp1s_setd.jpg

[domu]

Dude, the VF-1A came out end of December. I've had it since then. My favorite toy of all time. The VF-1S, Roy Fokker's Skull Leader, will be out in February. Since that's my favorite Valk ever, I'm down, but if you want a Hikaru 1A get cracking, most places are way backordered on them and prices are starting to rise. It's an insanely beautiful piece of toy engineering.

BTW Jing rules beyond belief, I have BitCharG Mach 5 now. go go go with my new 2.6 engine! I will smoke all of you... Until my dad runs over me with his DigiQ tank, I guess...

The Taktatoku's were reissued this year by Bandai, just as you remember them with a little better paint job. The old ones go for insane money. Ryan's talking about the 1/60th scale Yamatos, which are far less detailed but for my money the armored ones (featuring Fast and Strike packs) are badass. Yamato have yet to make a GBP-1S armored valk.

Those pics do not do the 1/48th justice, seriously. I've never ever ever seen a toy that better approximates all three transformation modes.

D'oh! You're right, the 1A is out already! Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Gosh, how did I miss that?

Oh, yeah. All your Mach 5 will see are my Trueno's taillights buddy. :p

[Ryan]

speaking of trueno's ive been looking for RC controlled versions of the cars from initial d, i know i saw some over at HLJ, but other wise im stumped..any leads?

[atomicscissors]

Ryan: Try this link (http://www.hobbyonsale.com/angolz/productDetail.asp?deptCSS=RCCSS&productID=KYO30007).

They're all out of the Initial D Trueno however, so if you really want one try here (http://www.nipponhobbies.com/radio/kyosho_miniz_ae86.htm). They've got it for $189.00 though which is really pricey (I've heard you shouldn't pay more than $120 for a Mini-Z racer) but it's the only place I could find that still has it in stock.

Hey! These Mezco toys! Should I open them!

Hmmm...I would buy the Club Mez Run DMC variants and buy another regular jam master jay and sell them all on eBay a year from now as a set.

The Run DMC figs should all be sold out at retail channels.

[peko-chan]

Well, that's what I'm calling her, at least.

http://members.tripod.com/rnd_dolls/momoko/03RD02.jpg

Even after swearing them off like a disease after buying all five of the doll releases last Fall, I went back and got two of the three new Spring/Summer Momoko dolls this week in the mail from my pusher, I mean, doll dealer. It's an Asian motif so all the girls are sporting bhatik fabrics and/or a cheongsam style dress. They're effing' gorgeous and the details on their 'fits are hot. Little frog clasps, embroidered belts, and 1/6 scale lacquered like mules.

I saw the blonde Momoko doll, the one I didn't get, up close and now am kicking my completist collecting ass. Would'a, should'a. the bitch is sold out, of course you know. Must fight urge to look on Yahoo Japan....

i just got this set of studio ghibli plush keychains of animal characters from the films.

im a newbie, so can someone please tell me which films these characters come from:

-the black cat?
-this green pear-like bird thing with whiskers?
-pig-like guy in pilot suit?

tank you.

[peko-chan]

The black cat is Gigi, Kiki's cat companion from "Kiki's Delivery Service".

The pig with goggles is the lead character from "Porco Rosso" - The Crimson Pig.

The only thing i can think of that's pear shaped with whiskers is Totoro but why he'd be green is beyond me...

For all things Miyazaki/Ghibli in english, try http://nausicaa.net/miyazaki/films/

ooooh bless you, jing. thanks!!! i think you got these right. i guess i have seen these films, but don't recall the titles. bad with names. checking site now.

BTW: these keychains are so damn cute. will try to post pic later.

ooooh girl, you got it all right! yeah, my totoro IS green. an olive green. guess he's supposed to be brown or whatever...

oh shit, one more for you: who's the reindeer guy?

the other two in the set (six came keychains total) is the black spidery thing from spirited away and the little white forest spirit from princess mononoke. cute!!!

[peko-chan]

I believe the spider is from Mononoke as well, one of the animal gods. The reindeer if it has a bridle and saddle is Yakul, Prince Ashitaka's loyal steed. The forest spirit is a Kodoma.

otaku all the way. ;)

Isn't he the Super7 dude?

Impressive...

[peko-chan]

Yeah, all the Super 7 guys have mad collections. I was recently over another fellow's pad and my jaw was permanently dropped at the sheer awesomeness of his collections, both toy and modern/graff art. <plug>There's a great book coming out by Chronicle featuring their collections called "Oh So Crazy Japanese Toys!" with a foreward by Rodney Grenblat</plug> Purty pictures and whatnot.

[kamenriderv3]

i got some sabuya toy...well more like a figure cause he don't move. its the first of ten traditional japanese warrior figures. some are in battle gear and some are in regular street clothes.

categorically its a candy toy and it comes with two pieces of gum. cheap but cool.

i didn't find any of it online so no pics for now. not even sabuya's website has it up. the first figure is a guy kneeling on one leg and he has a long spear.

[jinzoningen]

Yeah, saw that book on the super7 site. I already have it pre-ordered at Amazon.

[jinzoningen]

Haha! Those are awesome. But don't they qualify as "weapons of mass destruction"?

[peko-chan]

what's really weird is that those Hulk Hands have been on the shelves since last Fall, a little too early to cash in on the movie. my local Target and Toys R Us have had them and i love seeing little kids throw fuck to the wind and rip 'em from packages to put them on. those things make some dumb electronic crashing noise when you hit them against something.
