The "What you just got in the Mail" Thread

Bummed the Alavaka was over sold and I missed out. The chase is great, nice score!

 

That is a bummer, man. I think it's safe to say most, if not all of us, have been there before. This is the first time I'd ever seen or held an Alavaka in person. They're really great!

 

not anything related but ive been on a memory lane toy kcik picking up the power rangers megazord and dragon zord. Just bought the thunder megazord on ebay

 

One of my favorite things about the alavaka i got is def the scroll.the whole back story of the toy is written on it.

 

Does the Alavaka have articulation? or is it just one piece?

Looks good, not my cup of tea, but it definitely looks well produced.

 

The Alavaka has one point of articulation in the head. I love the blood spatter on the mouth.

^ Nice mail day! Can't go wrong with a quad amp Siamese!!

 

Got my Blobpus minis today from FOE Gallery



There's still a bunch of cool stuff available from the show....including some one off Yamomark glory.

Great painted set of the Blobpus minis, particularly the kaijin-style Blobpus in suits. I love the plastic bento tray packaging too.

 

Sushi tray. I think he got the idea from Yamomark at a Design Festa.

Completely random tangential note: It is possible to get some types of vegetarian sushi in Japan. Very nice with fresh thin ginger slices.

 

Dont forget imitation crab, that stuff is totally good to go if its the right brand.

 

Yikes after eating my share of fake meat in Taiwan, I tend to avoid stuff like that.

 

Wow I need a set of those blobpus minis. I love the paint on the 2 sets from the foestore..were there only 2 sets or just 2 choices?

 

Thanks David and akum6n, I love these Blobpus minis....almost snapped a tendon on my mouse finger when I saw them for sale
You got a real nice box of Blob too David....is the Doku on the right the only one that doesn't glow ? And by the way....open 'em !!!

Not sure. All I ever saw on the site was 'minis set A' & 'minis set B'. I emailed the store after my order to ask if they would ship immediately or if they were on display for the show, and he said they had "several sets of each, and would ship out the next day"

 

^ Cool. Must be standard for how he serves up these mini sets. The red/black/yellow Doku from my set is completely painted, and the green suit salaryblob has a completely painted head with a glow body.

 

Thanks for the info! hopefully that's all I need...maybe It's time to make a want thread..

But really those are awesome.

 

Finally got a computer again. Heres some awesome.



The Matango was done by Leecifer. Its gorgeous.

 

Ready for action. Well, sort of.

 

^ !!!!! I was bidding on that Uamou on the bay!!! At least it didn't go to some asshole.

 

Like you?
