    Thanks for posting those pics. Yep, now I see, the one I had seen was definitely pulled off the sharpener. It is just such a wacky fun pose, I love it. If I had had him as a kid, I would definitely have done the same, and he would have been coming with me everywhere.

    The Poison Eel is of course, beautiful. And I love the shot of him like this 'in the wild.'

    The pencil sharpener figure is reaching back because the figure came with a sword (held in his right hand).

    Pencil sharpener with base + sword. Unfortunately this one has a repaired sword, but just having one is something.

    Holy crap!

    What's that made out of, Andy? I'm assuming mostly vinyl, but is there any lithographed tin (besides the key)?

    It's a combination of quite a few materials: sofubi, some harder plastic, tin, string, etc. Besides the key, some of the internal mechanical components might also be tin, from the looks of the underside.

    Awesome figure Andy. I have seen just a few other version of Arashi mounted on a horse, but never a wind-up. It looks to me like the horse is hard plastic, not vinyl. Does he work by chance? Even if not, this is still damn amazing.

    Yes, it works and is complete. I have an in-action video of another one I shot quite a while back at a store. I'll try to dig it up when I have a chance.

    I tried to save the image of the mini version of Onibi Mamushi in the auctions thread since we were discussing the rarer villains, but it seems to have disappeared, so thought I would host another larger one here in case anyone wanted to check him out, or just as a reference.

    Beautiful set Andy! I would love to see a full-on shot of your whole Ninja Arashi collection one day.

    There are a couple more figures in the set - Majin Sai and another villain - plus maybe more. Kind of a mysterious line compared to the other Arashi minis and standard size figures.

    Oh yeah, I believe Bandai also made some Riders and maybe also Utraman Ace figures in this vein.

    My Arashi is like most of my other stuff. A bit here, a bit there because of space issues.

    I think this Majin Sai & Nekro Maddalla Cat are from the same series:

    Excellent shots. Yep, those were the others I was thinking of. Would love to hear if anyone knows of others in the series.

    Ha they are not mine! I wish. Saved internet pics. I really want that Maddalla Cat. Axolotl won the Majin Sai auction (it sat on YJA forever).

    Thanks for sharing those Andy, really cool. I didnt even know those three existed. I think this poison eel might be from the same series. Hes more of a rubbery material than vinyl but the pose and size seems similar. The only one ive seen for sale is that Majin Sai which I passed on for some reason.

    Ha Jordan I'm the hunt for 6 more! :oops: Actually I'm not into Poison Eel or the guy on the other end with the sack on his head so it would be just 4 for me.

    Good job completing Jonathan.
