Thou art not a crook!

I'm on a Nakatomi mailing list, and they just sent out a note about an Ultraman print they're releasing tomorrow that looked relevant:
https://www.nakatomiinc.com/2021/10/15/new-ultraman-vs-alien-baltanprint-from-attack-peter-drops-tue-19th-2pm-central-be-there/

They have other Ultraman prints in their shop but I don't really care for them - this new one looks pretty rad though.

Anyway, post more photos please! I'm really enjoying seeing these and I've been going down the eBay rabbit hole watch-listing some too, they're awesome.

I can't possibly collect one more type of thing but I love these two:

GIRDORUS: https://www.ebay.com/itm/380785629332

NOKOGIRIN: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174947732270

I might allow myself to get just one in the spring when I'm a bit more flush...

Wow, I had no idea there were reproduction ones - I might have to go for that. Thanks!

Let's keep the collection posts going for 2022! Next up is Elegab's MONSTER PATROL CAR! This guy is great and has everything a kid would love! Fun details like the little steering wheel, 2 places for Elegab's Minis/Finger Puppets, and a great expression on this guy's face!

What a brilliant toy! Thank you for posting these!

Follow his IG/Twitter and on that day he will link his blog page with instructions. You will email him with the requested information he requires (your name/address/phone, IG and PayPal accounts) and then at the end of the participation dates he randomly chooses the winners of the lottery. If you win he will send you an email with instructions on how much it is including your shipping and you have a limited amount of time to pay it. Remember that it will be a few months before they are shipped as he had to paint them all.

Thanks, I'm gonna give this a shot, Jura Doublunga looks really cool!

And that elephant and shark, there's a lion too as well from that maker right? I saw one that was sold while cruising through mandarake's site. Reminds me of the time when we did the same concept in a high school jewelry class: took elementary kid's drawings and made them in metal and gave them to the kids. Fun times!

Sold out there, sadly. Those are very fun designs.

I try and convince myself that buying figures to repaint doesn't really count. It is very effective.

Speaking of! Finished this buddy on Saturday.

Hey, I finally had a chance to set my lightbox back up, and got a photo of all these guys! They're all fantastic and I smile every time I see them. Thank you!

What kind of lightbox setup do you have?

I bought a 20 inch folding lightbox with 120 LEDs that was called "ESDDI Photo Studio" - I looked on Amazon but the product page is no longer available.

It's pretty foolproof, just set it up and go. It came with a few different color backdrops (I really just use white and light gray) and a dimmer.

I usually use a DSLR but my wide angle lens is kind of out of commission right now and I don't even know when I'm getting another one (I mostly use tele-macros for bugs), so that was just taken with my phone. The phone and the lightbox get along fairly well actually.

The tinsel is from dollar tree and hung up with double sided tape since I had been posing some stuff for a Christmas card earlier.

I originally bought it a few years ago when I was selling a lot on eBay since I found that having even semi-decent listing pictures generated a LOT more interest.

There's Toy Lair (the place S.W.O.R.D. couldn't see the name of) in Richmond. My friend told me about them recently after she saw my collection. I can do some scouting and report back next time I'm in the neighborhood.

And if the wider DMV area is acceptable, there's a place called NoveltyHaus that has a bunch of Godzilla pieces on their site.
https://webshop.noveltyhaus.com

Thanks!

I'll have to check out Toy Lair next time I'm up that way, I head up that way now and then for Lewis Ginter garden.

If I even remotely thought one would fit me I'd definitely get the Metron one, that pattern looks amazing on it.

I really need to get some of the Max Toy Firemen.

The thing I really enjoy with Sofubi, there's always something to discover.

Did I know about this Max Toy Gitagitanga? No, must have missed it, and it's wonderfully garish:

Kinda inspired by Gitagitanga, my lego tank needed something to fight!

I love that Godzilla in a tank, but it looks like they go for absolutely crazy money.
