Just a quick photo before I pack them down for the plane ride back.

After looking through Nakano, I realize that the prices on YJA are pretty good, even with Celga and shipping factored in.

What can you tell me about that multi coloured mini? He's great.

Plover, I think that mini is by Butanohana. He makes all kinds of cool little well made figures, including this gal:

Yeah, from Butanohana's dinosaur series. He was like $12 in a cube store.

I think in the olden days, Butanohana would sell these guys loose at shows.

I know their is a thread about this somewhere, but who is the figure on the right with hooks? Very cool piece! And is their more than one colorway?

The guy on the right is Garumega; this is the first version that was sold at the 2007 Summer Wonderfestival. The maker is Shikaruna Koubo.

He's a pound of solid vinyl love.

Not a Goji.

The brown guy is Toragirasu from Iron King, and it was made by Ark.

Ah, yes, there is a thread in Vintage Vinyl.
I guess I'm a bit loopy today, popping Aqua-Dots all afternoon...
Anyway---very cool score!

Oh that's a Butanohana fig? I love the paint on this one!

I wish there was an image archive of all of the past Butanohana releases. Every once in a while ones like this pop up that I've never seen before. Nice stuff.

Red Falcon RULES!

I just got the baby chickens from Butanohana and I love them. They remind me of the Dinosaur family's children from Pee wee's playhouse.

Nice JP haul ! :wink:

Part of me thinks that some of Butanohana's stuff from past shows may be one-offs. I have nothing to verify this, but if you look at the Dinosaur Series figures in the show photo galleries, in particular, you'll notice that they're all painted a little different.

There are also older figures that are no longer in the web gallery as well. I recently picked up a yellow Guron that I had not seen before.

Can anybody verify whether they've made all of the characters that appear on one of their older header cards? There's a Hedorah and a Ghidorah that I've never seen.

Guys where do you hunt for the Butanohana stuff? I love the dinosaur stuff especially....totally retro looking.....

Ok, back home again. Took some better photos.

I love the hyper-colors on this guy. So crazy!

Kinda ho-hum in photographs, but cool because of the whole potential test-shot thing.

Iron King, Toragiras; produced and sold by Ark. The metallic pink, purple and green spray on the brown base is an unlikely match, but creates a unique look that sets it apart other older vinyls.

My first vintage piece! :D

My favorite pick-up from the trip. It was a pain to lug back in my hand-carry, but it is a beautiful, beautiful piece.

Wow that Garmega has been on my top want list for awhile. The version with the black/white eyes is the one I want but does not seem to be around. So jealous! Great shots!
