    @ultrakaiju heh!
    yea, I'm glad to have cleaned them too. The pip-pip ended up looking like brand new.
    It is actually fun cleaning them, but not so fun trying not to scratch those tiny ultra paints when putting them back together. those guys are tough to assemble!

    Love the focus and dedication.
    I need to think about cleaning and dusting as well. It's gross.

    @evom, a huge THANK YOU for all the new gorgeous pics, of your cuties! Really appreciate the close-ups. The pink Baltan is still the bee's knees! I recently adopted the Blue Seabozu/Staiin set, and I really love how your blues saturate the photo!

    P.S. Spotted these rare birdies in the M-Shop a couple of days ago (no, I didn't adopt them :(). Very nice, but came with a premium adoption fee! :shock:

    This arrived as a consolation! ;)

    Two wonderful treasures were waiting for me in the office. No chance of getting out and about today, so I treated the new kiddies to an "indoor" picnic outing. Thank you Jeremy! You're the tops! :razz::razz::razz:

    p.s. yes, I know! It isn't a very good oil, but theres a whole bunch of art hanging in the building hallways. Fortunately, no one's here on a Saturday, so it's perfect for toy posing :)

    Wonderful stuff, Gracie! You are doing excellent work knocking off some very perfect OG monsters from the dear wish list lately.

    Thanks for the nice comments :) , and speaking of great pics, just wondering of a Boardie was lucky enough to adopt this tasty treat on JYA?

    Fantastic to see the set still sealed in it's original protective transparent coccoon! :shock: Ended at 30000 with only one bidder. No, sadly, it was not me :oops:

    Was sore tempted on those cave people, sorely indeed, but I passed. 30000 seems high for this time last year, but all too normal now. Have most of the Butas that I want except for the ones on the want list, which I'm also promoting Enmago and Zisou to. Can't believe that I sold them back when I returned to school; what was I thinking? The others on the want list I'm obsessing about as well, with every bit as much chance of scoring them as the Enmago, ha. But I can't complain, I scored many major grail/recaptures this year and I am certainly grateful for that and wish all of you as much good luck as I have had this year!

    Nice original Cave People set! Yeah, any Butanohana naked cave people have always been sought after. Hard to come by (like most older Butanohana). So so glad I got mine (the GT set) for a steal on Kaiju Taro what seems like a lifetime ago.

    Wrong to mention Enmago and Zisou here. Didn't know that there was an auction going on. My apologies. 5 hundred and how many dollars? Crap, I can't feel too bad about not keeping up with that. Jeez.

    A whopping 51000 JPY :shock:. Definitely on the high side, even if it was MIB! As Chris mentioned, the Cavies were much more reasonable a few years ago, as was the E&Z set. I really hope Mr. O does not resort to lotto sales. Just a humble personal opinion, that lottos tend to hype prices even more, in the after market, and call even more transient "collector" attention :?

    I really don't know what hobby I am even part of, if any.

    Missed the latest new batch of butas... so I decided to console myself by cleaning these babes finally.
    The last of the ones I've had in storage for years, that were never displayed until now.
    Nothing beats adding "new" toys to the collection without having to pay any money.

    Pandora and Chinpe are some of my favorites. The sculpt detail of the set in hand is fantastic. Ultraman Taro figures are among Buta's best. All three colorways that Buta did for these are winners.

    Gorgeous set, Brent! I totally get and understand that sentiment. They are wonderful, and look just right all cleaned up and accepted into Buta society.

    It's always good to appreciate what you have, and when you have a collection like that photo give inkling of, well, it sure doesn't take much extra effort! :razz:

    Heck, I just found out about a month ago that they had tails! Under-appreciated them, very nice Butas!

    And nice hedgehog spines too! Not to mention uber cute unicorn horn(s). Can we see a pic of the orange and yellow pandababs side by side @evom? [​IMG]

    thanks guys!
    @Mr. Humphreys , yea I'll take a shot of them when I have a chance.
    Maybe I'll do solo shots of a few others while I'm at it.

    Now completely overwhelmed by feelings of Pan-Chin inadequacy, I slink away to brood upon the empty space in my heart. Beaut-y-ful shots though!
