Party on vintage brothers and sisters !! lets see your vinyl mazinger, jeeg or kamen villans for the 2012 master plan ..
Who's the third guy from the left between Ashura and Brocken? I remember having seen the toy before, but I don't think I've seen the show he's from...
Oooh kinky. Thanks Ultra. Now part two of the question would be who makes that particular figure? It's being added to my want list. EDIT: Wait I answered my own question- Popy, actually found a blog entry by the same poster: http://fourfortheday.com/2011/12/26/day ... l-villans/
yeah Onda and Popy depending on which show. here's a line up of mine (missing a couple), on the left are Jeeg enemy Onda figures and the right Mazinger Z enemies made by Popy They come bagged - the headers for jeeg enemies are pretty cool the Mazingers all come with the same header
I never saw Jeeg growing up, so I never really bothered with the toys, but I sure love the Mazinger Z dudes. I have those three, but man...the actual kikaiju mini's are fucking INSANE! They're great...but I ain't paying the prices they're commanding these days... For Great Mazinger, I have Ankoku Daishogun, but I don't suppose you (scobot or anyone else, really) know if they made any other villains? I know they did an Archduke Gorgon, but I'm not sure who else...
Can't remember who I got these from on the board but I was immediately attracted to them. Can anyone ID the spike-headed guy? Is he part of the series? Really like him but unfortunately part of his spiked head is MIA. The attention to detail on some of the figures, like the tiny skull on the sword hilt, adds to their appeal. Hope to find more of these eventually.
Thanks for the info. Wish he came with the animal skull staff. If I find one without a hole in his head you can have this one.
A good place to check on these vinyls for their character names, is their feet and back. On it's back at the bottom this pieces says アマソ or Amaso. If you get a katakana and hiragana cheat sheet, you can identify the majority of these names IF you're lucky enough to get a piece like this with the name on it. Katakana and hiragana are phoentically mapped to the western keyboard / "romaji". Most PC keyboards have national language entry, enable it, and I say try it out. So if you type in A MA SO you'll get the 3 characters in your testing area, like a search bar or word doc, with the katakana enabled. I'll spare you further Japanese reading/writing/typing nerdery... But it's worth brushing up on. Especially when the SO and the N are so closely related in the katakana character set.
