toothaction wrote: So very late to the party. New here. I came to learn. I've liked the giant monstas my entire life and have always made or collected something to do with them, but it's really only in the past couple of years that I've been pursuing the vinyl beauties. They always seemed inaccessible to me for whatever reasons - Price, availability, etc. This all changed in the middle 2000s when I walked in to the now-shuttered House of Monsters in Chicago. It's been a slowly creeping obsession ever since. Guess when I discovered I'm obsessed with Butanohana? People, I gotta tell you it was today. I'm not embarrassed that I was almost wholly ignorant of the company until maybe 10 hours ago, but I do now almost wish I'd never seen that picture of the most gorgeous Keronia that's likely ever to be sculpted. Hundreds of pages of photos later and I'm nearly sick with awe and appreciation. Every single piece I viewed was so unbelievably nice... I've already devised rules for my imaginary collecting of Buto gold - only kaiju from the original run of Ultraman - but I gather this is going to be a fools errand. So very very late to the party. Thanks for listening. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=31124&start=600 Doing some research tonight, and stumbled across this post, not so very long ago. You've come a long way David! |

I am swooning over that collection pic, David. So many colours and shapes, it boggles the mind looking at its beauty. All other shelves immediately become humbled in its presence. Thanks for sharing the family with us, as always. It is a pleasure to enjoy these toys we can't all have through you photos. toothaction wrote: ^ I kind of wish you'd left that buried, it's mortifying to read for a variety of reasons, but you're not wrong toothaction wrote: Not much growth in the family this past year and a half, but...

Well I don't think you should be mortified! I think you should be very proud. Wish the buta database had release dates. Don't get me wrong, I love and appreciate all the hardwork Chris, you, Daniel, and otherss have put into it, but I'm a nerd over those dates . It's great reading the old posts and reliving the enthusiasm. Great collections and photos . Gotta say, your collection is awe inspiring when amassed in a relatively short time, you are an ingeniuos and creative collector . Thanks always for sharing your toys and the "living" photos! Very few are as brave to play with your toys, as you do! |

Well, I think those photos would be fun whether it was involved or not, so I am not sure IG deserves any credit for that. But sure, what the hay. |

No worries, if you really feel like opening up and enjoying them for a while after all this time, I completely understand. Just let me know when you are ready to forward them along. |

Inquiring minds wanna know I also discovered that day, thanks to an impulse purchase at a Chinese grocery in the same strip, that my cat goes absolutely apeshit for cod jerky! Went looking for a picture... Google, no! |

Pandabab appreciation Deevis! ... do you mean the dried fish at the Chinese grocery store? |

Oh! I know what that is! I prefer the dried squid / surume snack myself, or #2 https://www.buzzfeed.com/tanyachen/icon ... .oso7da4Wv The Korean grocery store sells unsalted non-MSG version, which Henry and Emma got bits of (yes, they went apes over that too! ). I had to stop giving it to them, as it caused cysytitis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_cystitis (no more dairy or high calcium and magnesium snacks for Henry and Emma ) Heck! It's probably bad for us too! Lovely pics Deevis! I'm still on the hunt for the BLUE mongler! |

Those are some fantastic finds Dave. A glorious rainbow of colours and fun sculpts. The Buta painted micros are really something, I can't get over how much I like them. Hope to track down more than a couple of them some day. |

Hah, kinda figured that Dave! I was watching those too, but am glad now I held back, as there is nothing worse than a battle between 'brainers that ends up skyrocketing auctions. Happy that they went to a good home in the end. |
