Before jumping full-blown into diecast, maybe the first thread should be a slow transition. Here are a couple of tin toys that include vinyl figures. No, unfortunately, these are not mine. If people dig these, I can post some more.
Trikes are awesome. Miles, if you have anymore, post them up. The Kamen Rider in the rocket is also pretty sweet. I'm gonna have to search for a few of those. I saw some in a book that Brian had and after seeing one in color...I gotta get search for some of them. @#$@#% vintage!!!!!
I love the lion maru trike. I just got my first lion maru mini figure and I'm super excited about it.
When I dig out the trikes, I will post them. I am up around 45 of those suckers, and I bet there are easily 45 more to go, not to metion the really old celuloid trikes!
for some reason, I really dig celuloid toys...any celuloid toys because it has such a cool feel. I've only seen one celuloid trike, and it had some damage, which is common with that material. let's see 'em brian!
ok...i think i'm gonna start looking for those rockets. i take it most of them are on yja since i haven't seen one on ebay.
How about a tin with vinyl armor? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElZmw3eV ... annel_page I always thought the Blazer zenmai should have had the same option like on its diecast counterpart.
I have that lion maru trike in the first pic....actually 2 of them. Here are a bunch of older celluloid trikes that I do not own.
that last one went for $850 on e bay not to long ago . bust out all those trikes brian . you have like 45 of those things ? damn , i got only 3 .
...and 850 was actually a pretty good deal for the Big Dai X. I was very tempted, but the seller is so sketchy. Wow..45? Damn Brian, your the T Kithahara of tin trikes. I have always wanted to get into the trikes, but its one of those things if I do, I won't stop till I have them all...and there is no way I could at this point. I think sticking with a focus on walkers is the way to go for me.
Like these guys...some from my collection. (compared to most monster complete collections on here my collection is pretty damn small) some examples... Popy Robocon walker: http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Col ... 5.JPG.html Angel Kaman rider: http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Col ... 2.jpg.html Bullmark Ultraseven http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Col ... y.jpg.html Bullmark Zaboga: http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Col ... 1.jpg.html Popy Getta Robo G: http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Col ... e.jpg.html I only have about 30 vintage Bullmark and Popy walkers and another 25 or so Osaka tin toys and Billikens. Not a lot, but the goal with them is to find the cleanest ones I can. Tins are notoriously delicate, and the boxes..forget about it. I really love them though.
