Post subject:  KAKURANGER ONLY

I told the guy at Mandarake that I collect "Kakuranger only" and his eyes popped out.
Since then I've had access to his secret stash of oldys.
Finally narrowing things down, got rid of newer stuff in favor of
the 1994 through 1996 lines.
For some reason, these pics look very dingy.

I need to remember that line. Yes, "Hawaii Bullmark only!"

Damn!

Do you think it'd have the same effect if I told him I only collect Kamen Rider Black.

Maybe I should say I only collect Japanese toys... Hmmm.

Once I find these little unpainted guys, I`m all done
but these are going to be tough.

Anyone here know where`s the best place to go
for mini figures from Japan ( like the Kinkeshi guys )

beautiful collection. I could kick myself for selling off most of mine. I had mostly late 80's stuff, alot of Liveman. All the Godaiken toys, lots of little things from various places...

My favorites were the diecast ranger figures and the robots that would come with little rubber dudes. I have some old pics on my flickr if you get a minute to check them out, in a set.

Luckily, I still have most of the KR Black stuff...

Very nice! I see Sun Vukcan dx there too. That was my first.
Fantastic robots there. Liveman rules.

I think half of the reason I loved them so much was the box design. So vibrant, with misspelled words...love that stuff. I was looking at your flickr photos and it's just incredible.

The packaging was the best part for me.
I miss the box side handles and extra labeled insert overlays
covering up most of the styrofoam on the DX robots.

You can still find Fiveman all the way through Ohranger at local shops.
I took this pic last October at a small mom and pop 2 blocks from Ban Dai.
Toys from the late 80s/early 90s sitting on the shelf since release date,
still priced the same, covered in dust (so best to pull from the bottom).

That is so awesome. I need to sell more art and get my sorry self over to Japan!!

Finally found both matte and reflective versions of
gold and silver colorways of DX Ninjaman,
used as in store displays a few weeks before the
actual toys hit.

I love how they put reflective and matte circle stickers in the corner to let you know
which version was inside...uh you know because the die cut window
on the front is only semi huge and you may miss it.

I really like the simplicity of the gold and silver colorways. It's a class look!

Post subject:  Re: KAKURANGER ONLY

finding the eraser figures is half the challenge!
I am knee deep in Barom-1 eraser figures, two sizes, 11 characters total, five or six colors each = complete chaos.
I am a nerd!

I have a question: Do you live in Japan, and if so, near this place?

Next task: Go to CKA and tell them you only collect HP Bemon.

I expect high res shots! :wink:
