The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Thread

Thanks. Nothing too special. Just a nice, lean, light, fast bike for the city.

Yeah, the fenders are pretty neat - the racing stripe is an actual intarsia of a different wood and not just painted on.

Thanks

 

Got a couple lance packs to paint up while I wait for my Tokyo Cambrigon to arrive.

 

DORORO on DVD (I bought mine from Amazon). This wonderful Tezuka anime series from 1969 is available for the first time with english subtitles. Made in black and white which adds to the eerie atmosphere of the program. Lots of slicing and dicing Samurai style! Don't let the inclusion of little dog Nota trick you (he was introduced for the anime, he did not appear in the manga version). Also included is the pilot which was made in color.
I just received the Denboku sofubi version of Nota, he's so cute

 

The B&W Kitaro has been fansubbed, but would love to have an official release. The Amazing Three (Wonder 3) is at the top of my wish list!

 

So, this is my second get from The Runny Bunny. There was some interest when I posted the first one awhile back, so I thought I'd share this one, too. Almost all of this gal's creations are one-offs and they're very reasonably priced. This one happens to be a vase, which is of no consequence to me, but certainly doesn't take away from the piece, either.

 

Not in the mail, but I did just pick up this huge shelf unit. The only problem is that I have no room for it with my current setup in my house! So its now in pieces in my storage unit. One day... (And I will have to paint over that wood grain.)

 

Thanks for clearing that up . . . i was wondering about that.
(I've only read the Manga).

 

@Kingboy D that's awesome, any idea how long it'll be stuck in storage for?

 

Thanks! I fear it will be in storage for a while. I would love to sell my house, but I am still underwater. Waiting for the housing prices to rise. I just don't know where I would put it in my current house. The only option would be on the first floor, but I really like to keep my collection more private from typical visitors.

I got the shelf from a trophy manufacturer who went out of business. The landowner knew my wife, so I got a great deal. But the unit is huge - over 7 ft tall, so it would not fit in any rental truck. He disassembled it for me, so I have a ton of pieces now. I wonder if it will ever look the same again. But it was huge and heavy - there was no way to move it assembled. The glass is THICK! As are the wood parts. But all the shelves are fully adjustable, making for possible great display options. Not sure though if I would use this for my vinyl or diecast collection. More likely the diecast. Or maybe a combo of both.

 

Damn, that's some huge case!! congrats.
keep that wood grain man, it looks great.

 

As someone who lives in a studio apartment, I don't have that luxury. In fact, anyone who even comes to my front door is made privy to my freakish proclivity, merely by dint of glancing over my shoulder.

 

Your newly aquired shelf looks great ! It must weight a ton !
Keep a lot of pictures for the time you assemble it again. They will help.

 

i know @Michael Beverage would appreciate...

 

Nice, man! Always happy when fellow Bob Burden fans show solidarity. And original art, no less! I dig the frame as well.

I have an original drawing myself, Flaming Carrot's lack of popularity compared to most comics thankfully makes the original art way more accessible compared to more popular titles.

Thanks for sharing!

EDIT: Just saw the date on the drawing! Very cool. Did you get that as part of the kick-starter for one of the hardback editions? I missed those fundraisers!

 

thanks guys.

roxanne starr / flaming framing has actually been offering these and some other gems up on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/flamingframing/). so it wasn't kickstarter, which i learned about too late. i grew up with cerebus, flaming carrot, and b&w tmnt, so was really happy to add this to my collection...nostalgic, though it sounds like bob will be at sdcc this year and trying to get things rolling again.

 

Excellent! Yeah Roxanne and Bob are local here, I have yet to make it to DragonCon but would like to go just to meet them.

I'm a huge Cerebus fan too, been reading Cerebus since I was 12. I still lack a few of the last "phone books" in the series. I would love some drunken Cerberus original art.

 

I picked up this nice painting of Greedo by Mr. Walters of Chicago. He was my favorite action figure as a kid.

@ultrakaiju That reminds me, why is it that DKE toys has never produced a book of Bwana's SW action figure paintings? I would buy that in a heartbeat!
