Post mindbending Zollmen, Exohead paints, Bemons...
Not my collection (dammit), but went to visit a friend and fellow collector as he was packing up to move to the west coast. This stuff is a mere sample of his collection...1 box of joy amongst dozens. He's never posted any pictures here but graciously gave me permission to share these crappy phone pics. Before I left he blew my mind by selling me a bunch of Yamomark X Blobpus collabs including a 1-off custom for less than retail. Serious toy Karma...hope CA is making your dreams come true, buddy.

Yeah, that stuff was basically the tip of the iceberg...and yes, it was the same friend I was selling stuff for to help with the move. He's not the type to ever post this stuff himself, which seems common amongst the boardies that have the most enviable collections.

I should also mention that NONE OF THIS STUFF IS FOR SALE...so don't bother asking me about it. He does have a bunch of stuff that he plans on selling eventually (maybe some rare boogies, a ton of rare Le Merde resins, loads of Secret Base) but most of it still needs to be sorted as it's all still at his place on the east coast, and you can imagine how much time is needed to organize yourself when you're moving across the country without a definite plan or even employment at your destination.

My guess is they were from a release via Garimpo some time ago. I believe there were something like 40 one offs released. I recall it being discussed in the Zollmen database thread. Could swore there pictures of all of them saved on a flickr account.

That would be me. I don't have a pro flickr account so the set disappeared (one day I'll get it again). I tag EVERYTHING though, go to flickr type in: takemi, exohead in the search and they will all come up.

Am I the only one who is sad to see them still bagged? Far be it from me to tell others what to do with their toys but damn those have got to look better outside of the plastic. Maybe they were rebagged for the moving process. In any case obviously a dedicated collector with great taste. I shall continue my drooling now.

I don't know, I look at the bag and header as part of the overall experience. So when I see a collection of well painted toys with well designed headers I think it works.

A nice collection of both works nicely :)

For me bags mute paint detail. Some bags are so thick they totally dull the colors. But different folks like different things. Cool stuff indeed!

That's what I said, that one is truly incredible. Love the way they include the posters ala Bemon HPs. There's also an Exohead HP Maza in there, but I didn't have the courage to take it out of the bag. Exo and Blobpus...the paint apps are always gorgeous.

Here's a shot of some of the Yamomarks he hooked me up with. Been after these guys for ages (well, since they were released anyway) so I'm pretty psyched.

I totally agree, I have a Zollmen Maza that I kept in MIB for over a year, used to keep all toys MIB and then decided to free them when I realized that it's almost impossible to fully guage a colourway with the toy in bag.

That Maza is not GID. It's the Medicom edition.
