Thank you @Mr. Humphreys - there is most definitely a theme, made all the worse by them being on the shelf beside my Toygraph Racers. I am waiting on the Cyclops trike and also the Halloween Matango but will have to rearrange to add another more three wheeled beasties.
Goodness! That photo and the Racers photo are so nice, an art work to be sure! Both photos would be awesome as a full glossy print for framing and hanging. Makes me so happy just seeing them, and a reminder of how great toys can be for the soul
I would like to request a video made by @Mr Fox of the cycles in motion. Just zooming past the camera.
What a nice compliment; thank you Grace I have the Racer photo as my lock screen on my phone and puts a smile on my face as well. Back in the 80s I used to make stop-motion films; given wrangling the trikes is like herding cats, I think that would be the only option! I did notice that developers were making stop-motion apps, so I may have to give that a try.
Not sure if the is the proper place to drop this space amoeba, since it says it was made by M1, but released by Bullmark ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Here are some photos of a cool looking light blue Gezora!
You're correct, that is an M1GO Gezora reissue. Bullmark has done some reissues of it recently (using the same tooling AFAIK) but not with that color/paint: http://bullmark.co.jp/shopbrand/ct221/
I probably should’ve gotten more photos detailing things like the perfections in the eye and teeth, but I had trouble editing these to begin with. Down the road! My first M1 trike!!! Spoiler
Heres my M1 shroom/trike shelf in progress. Back collecting M1 after like an eleven year hiatus (prices have changed a little )
Thanks! Yeah I like the boxes almost as much as the toys. Yuji really know how to nail that vintage aesthetic.
The M1GO online store is up: https://m1go.stores.jp/ Looks like they only ship domestically, so you will have to buy from a proxy.
M1 is not bootlegging. The socks are a Creature Bazaar product with the license permission from Bullmark to produce. M1 is only selling stock from Creature Bazaar. Says it in the sales description. M1 and Creature Bazaar have a relationship together. M1 has done Creature Bazaar exclusives.
I dunno. Its kinda sus these M1 guys just now get a website. I mean, try searching M1 on this forum, you just get an error message. Seems like they're out for a quick buck riding in the coattails of CB. Do they even have an insta?
M1 has had a website for over 20+ years. They have been selling for over 30+ years. M1 has done more for the sofubi industry and Kaiju fandom than Creature Bazaar ever will in their life time. Yes, both Yuji and Michi of M1 have Instagram.
Pretty sure all of their comments have been sarcastic. I didn't catch it on the first one either. But, the second is a cheeky comment about how the name "M1GO" is difficult for most search aggregators to sort out results for. Thus "you get an error message" when you use Skullbrain's search function (I've seen a thread or 2 mentioning this before even tough I don't seem to have the problem myself). Which then made me realize they were joking about the bootlegging too.
