The "What you just got in the Mail" Thread

It is like entering a cotton candy dream...

 

Yes, knew there were 12 or more; am bravely in denial of despair here, the green one *was one of the ones that I had and supposedly there were some more one off dinos in his earlier phase, but am not sure. Also, have seen the database, all of you who worked on it should be proud, it is a thing of beauty! The painted GIDs will prolly always be my faves.

 

WOW!!!! Super fantastic collection Grace!! Do you think you will open any of them? I've opened most of mine but have kept some still sealed in their bags.

 

My girlfriend is awesome and hooked me up with this!

 

^ That's one yummy Luftie!

Thanks guys. I do love a very few amount of my toys in their package! Sometimes they're too beautiful to open, but to be fair it's almost always the little ones (that Fake Baron ~my only bagged standard~ was a prize, and he looks so good in there ) That said, I like reserving the leisure to open any one of those gems upon impulse, or when there's a toy drought

 

After pretty much my entire sofubi collecting career, I've found him:

Thank you so much to the dude who helped me acquire this gem. You are appreciated.

 

Wow. Congrats on finding this bad boy. I've wanted one ever since i saw it in the Encyclopedia of Kaiju.
Awesome score!

 

^ What the hell did I just watch?!

A short little story about this guy: I came across him in Tim Plover's (I think) collection photos back when I first got into sofubi and fell in love with the sculpt / character design. He sat on my wants list for probably 6-7+ years with no luck, and I wound up just removing him from it at some point. I figured I'd give up since a) I actively try to not collect licensed kaiju, and b) I'll never find him anyway. The kind soul who got this toy into my hands saw it for sale and snatched it up, but couldn't remember who was looking for it. They happened to be clearing out their PMs and came across one of mine from 2014, where I must have brought it up, and here we are.

Thanks a lot, guys. The feeling of finally crossing a bigtime want off of my list has come a few times in recent months, and I am very thankful for that. But there's more to it than just that for me -- The sense of camaraderie, one collector truly looking out for another, when stuff like this happens, makes collecting all the more enjoyable.

Also, the art on the header card is so boss:
