Yes he is! he also has this companion : and ultrakaiju i've seen a few Slobulous wind ups on ebay now. I'm searching for the soma knock-offs and horn head myself.
You sure manage to find the strangest (in the best way) stuff. Who knew they made candles of either of those...
the rubber body parts are from a company called Chemtoy from 1968.. and the shelf was given to me from Mama Utter.
Amazing toy mountain Connell, I have been checking out all the figures in those few photos for about 20 minutes already. It is a good thing I don't live nearby, I would definitely have to come over and play - and I mean check out - so many of them.
This is the best representation yet of the philosophy of "If you love it, buy it" Awesome love mountain Connell!
^^^ Exactly right! Those stacks make a fine argument for me throwing my license fetish out the window! And yet... ...seems to win in my heart every time.
The top row are from a company called Planet Toys which appeared to be a subsidiary of Fewture, they were released in 1999. The bottom ones are from Art Storm, which is a Fewture sub-company. All of the tooling and manufacturing appears to be the same between the two companies. Makoto-Chan, and Pyonko-Chan (the little girl) were both re-released by Art Storm maybe four years ago (?). Well worth checking out if you've got an interest. Makoto-Chan in particular, because he is very well accessorized and has secret, germ-filled hiding places on his body. It's very strange. The manga are funny and horrifyingly scatological, ensuring that they will never be translated and released here in the US. A close shot of the wind up. There is this one, a full color, and a GID. They all are out of production, but are easily found on YJA.
Great Makoto Chan collection and nicely displayed aswell. You have great taste in toys. Love the Cat Eyed Boy too. One day I will get around to picking one up.
Thanks for the info. I've seen Makoto plenty of times before and thought about buying one. I like the Planet Toys versions so I'll probably take a closer look. I love all the accessories and such, and didn't know about how filthy they are and that just makes them more interesting.
