oh yeah.. .and this is the only figure I'd overpay for. I can't find this fucking thing anywhere.... if anyone has any leads, let me know:
same here... i'm crossing fingers so gargamel can release this guy in the near future. also i'd love to get be the characters of Chibira Kun: the vinage characters are pretty expensive... but i'd be happy with some repros! so far i have the chibira kun + pochi pochi from bearmodel and the regular chibira kun from yanamaya.... but i need repros from the other characters!! (specially the blue guy with the crazy eyes)
maybe it speaks to the novelty of this toyscene, but a lot of holy grail stuff in this thread seems to be pretty new stuff.
except for the vintage stuff... i don't even think I can name anything that goes back before '03, can you?
Well, as far as old, very very long term goals...I'd like to put together a set of the Astro Mu 5 vinyl nodder dudes. Did anyone see the set of 6 MIB that was on YJA recently? Awesome, and only 500,000 yen!
Marmit Pink Irasawa Matango (multicolor w/ child shroomster). Don't know how rare it is but I have never run across one and I want it!!!
i would love some of these: any damage brain besides the mask ranger any hand painted pushead figs black/silver gargadeath MOSUGUN! any bemon that big ass garamon s7 was selling at SDCC but as far as a holy grail... hmm, that's tough,, i'd say a complete collection of Jar of Pus'
I don't know that I have any "holy grails" - just several figures that I'd like, but that I'm unwilling to spend the necessary amount of money on: Secreter Sun Secreter Forest Secreter Sky Head Shop
First version Marusan Garamon, only $100,000 if you can find one for sale. And no, that is not a typo.
Gargamel Gigan or Bioman ring, and more on the toy side rainy brain, no Bee, no brain.. ok i've got no brain...really a rainy brain would make the worse weather better.
That's the one...you know, a few years back, I sold mine, regretted it (surprise surprise), and eventually convinced the buyer (helluva nice guy) to sell him back to me. He came home with a little handwritten note in his box: "OH DADDY! How I've missed you! The bad man made me stand on a shelf with other, inferior vinyls!" Sound familiar, Corey? Yeah, this is a great figure, geo, even with bupkis articulation. Much presence, as cae noted. They're re-releasing him painted and assembled or unpainted/unassembled.
