nice shot david!
damn that goji is good.

Super good in fact. As is the Kong. Both are grail-worthy in the land of Buta toys. What a lovely battle scene of the two kings, David. Makes we want to see a film of Toho monsters made with Buta toys.

I hope the Buta line holds more TOHO greatness in the future. Those shots above are fantastic.

You could film a great King Kong vs. Godzilla re-enactment with what's out now.

Outtakes now available.

Thanks, friends! The product of a pleasant afternoon spent amongst the seasonal insects.

I'd LOVE to stage a full re-enactment, Jeff. Just send me your pretty invertebrate!

^ those two! and such delicious colors!

These shots are too funny david! They are very similar huh?

Holy shamolians Batman, just when I thought I couldn't possibly feel any more envy over the amazing toys you were sharing on this page, you go and post those. Honestly, the Toho duo, then rubbing it in my face with those Gundam fellas (!), and now this lovely duo. You sure now how to share some proper toy beauties, D.

Ah, the eager anticipation. I can well imagine their anxiety for uniting with their cousins. Two superb toys, and to be expanding the family further is really something. I might begrudge you for being greedy and 'doubling' up, when so few are out there, if it weren't for the fact that these two are just so amazing. Nice photos good buddy! Looking forward to the party I am sure is to come.

You're too kind, Steve... as ever. It's been quite fun bringing these old friends and new recruits out for little field trips. An ailing camera had kept me from my usual pace of compulsive posting, but then a good friend here set me up with his spare snapper; I've been making up for lost time ever since!

As for the anticipation part, though, I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.

Brent - Indeed! Those knobby-headed, bulging-eyed, frowney-faced weirdos were meant for each other.

Errands with the Leo boys.

Am I off base in thinking that these two are a couple of the most undervalued charmers from Oohashi's stable? No one ever seems to talk about or photograph them.

Bango doesn't get much love, but I adore both color ways. Not owning a Gamerot, is something I'm trying to rectify asap, as well.

Ha, me too, Jeff! Bango has big personality. Looking for an elusive Gamerot myself.

A "Toy Surprise" in every box!

A quickie snap taken for a friend tonight. Thanks again to Grace for the unbelievably awesome snack box.

And a great photo is it too, of a very respectable toy.

For those who might not remember, or weren't around at the time, this was one of the best package designs I have ever seen, let alone a purely voluntary and incredibly creative set-up for a toy bundle, or any new arrival on SB. I still randomly reflect on the brilliance of Grace's concept. The relevant post can be seen here:

And, because that one probably won't lead you to the right place, a bonus photo shoot of them,

^ Here's the coverage from the mail thread that Steve tried to direct us to:I posted a similarly indulgent spread in this very thread, too: viewtopic.php?p=786783#p786783
Mo' Buta, thankfully, is immune to SB's little man-made search bug. I still shake my fist at the culprit almost every day. Bless his heart.

You remain the rulingest, Gracie! I look forward to you lavishing us with photos of your own spectacular Buta clan very soon.

I have not contributed to this thread in eons, leave it to Butanohana to drive me out of collecting hibernation (thank you super J & D.):




Mail is here!:


Face only a mother could love:



Not that anyone cares but yes I'm chest deep in fucking lab reports (hence what is underneath these awesome toys) And despite losing a few toys I still had trouble finding space for these new guys (but did!). Glad I changed my mind of Dustman, he's definitely a stand out toy, even in zombie mode!

Oh and one more thing, while they definitely aren't as solid vinyl wise as older Butanohana, they feel slightly less squishy that the last batch of new Buta I received (about a year ago- first Zarab Postman lot).

Great to see those new arrivals Lixx! I can't think of a batch of toys more suited to coax you out of pseudo-retirement. I love the new batch of Butas, every one of them, and am glad to see some first signs of them arriving in SBers hands. As for the lab reports, well I know personally how painful that can be at times, but I am sure it helps to have these vinyl lab assistants to help you along the path.

Lixx pix, hurrah! I'd be happy that anybody was breaking my unintentional monopoly on new eye candy for this thread, but it being Chris is extra special.

Congrats on having landed the excellent new duo, sir. Nice - and only a little bit painful - to see your pretty Icarus again, too.

That OG Zarab Postman just glows (well not literally but speaking of how cool would it be in Butanohana finally released another glow toy?) with his white/mustard/racing green color scheme. Great to see the one I've seen in pics posted from the original show come to life.

Pink Postman is sort of blocked by Ikarus Postman on my shelf. I think I'm going to have to research 'bleacher tier riser' as I have 4 or 5 toys too hidden for my taste.


No more painful than seeing Ultraseven lurking in your pics!


Nahh these buggers are a big distraction! Knocking shit over ruining excel graphs by swan diving on my keyboard!

Love to see new photos from you Chris. I've got a Dustman on the way and these photos have me even more excited for mail day! Wish I could have gone for the postman too but hopefully I'll be able to score one down the line.

Told you Dustman was good! Damn, can't wait for mine!

We can't stop to save our lives, Chris! Its in the DNA.

We're just more prone to extended hibernation at our age.............

NKOTB.
