Wow, nice haul Jerzy. You must be so happy with that lot! Who's the guy on the right? Also super cool wind ups Mr. Humphreys!
Here's my innocent-looking box before opening: Here's what was inside, poor little guy must have gotten tweaked on caffeine & his eyes bugged right out of his head....
Sadly only one clear Matango for me but it exceeded my expectations...got the little guy in the mail too
Agent in Japan bought it for me. @Vombie- It was loose w/o the extra hand- no idea how it got out there. How many of these were there to begin with?
I was thinking only one maybe--but that's just a guess. I saw it in Mori's collection from pics people took. you're soooooo lucky!
Nice stuff CR! Were you using SAL? I just got this batch, ordered in July (very last batch before my new role as student kicked in): Note that the little guys aren't strictly keshigomu. They're METAL. Darn hefty, too. You could knock someone off a bike if you had a slingshot. They're like little cast bricks. Love 'em.
Was shipped to me from Germany, via DHL. I got a couple Hedorahs shipped to me in late July from Germany as well, but perhaps it was just through their local post office. This one took nearly twice as long to get here, and cost significantly more (and is about 2-3x the box size), but arrived in MUCH better box condition, everything packed perfect inside, and had a tracking # just in case. I have no complaints, now that it's all in hand, other than I have no current shelf space, and have just overflowed my "allotted toy storage" amount. just don't tell my girlfriend
Daniel -- Awesome score on the clear Hone! He looks so nice. I have to know, who is the biggest guy here, the beaked fella? I'm incredibly intrigued.
I'm rarely envious of other peoples toys on SB. I mean REALY envious! This my friend has done it for me. I love Hone Borg! Hone Borg was, and still is, one of my top favorite toys of all time. I have a fucking Hone Borg Tattoo for gods sake! I"ve had a picture of this Clear Borg, from a group shoot someone took in Mori's shop, on my desk top for months. (There is also a clear orange one in the picture) which, if I could get my hands on it, might help ease the pain of not having this one. I know your all basking in the warm fuzzy glow of having such rare stunning toy in your hands. Probably thinking, "Hmmmmm! What kind of cool stuff can I fill this up with?" You better be good to that Borg! No plastic multi-colored beads, no Gummy Worms, or day-glo BB's. This baby should always be shown au-natural. You don't want to screw with perfection buddy. And if you EVER grow the least bit tired of him PLEASE get in touch with me or I will haunt you to the ends of the earth. Well! Enough about me and my wants! Great score! I'm soooooo happy for you. No Really! Seriously!
Thanks PH. Don't worry about any monkey business with the Borg. I really love this toy as well, so I wouldn't dream of altering it in any way. But my collection of Borgs definitely pales in comparison to yours! As the owner of the Borg tattoo, I think you should get dibs on the next test shot that comes up for sale.
It's such an amazing piece Daniel. The clear version really shows off how great the sculpt is. Never really noticed the textured parts until now. Love to see some more shots. Congrats.
