Yeah! I am amped to get this next batch of Butas in hand. Glad they turned out well.

Buta has quite the gold mine to explore when it comes to Spectreman characters.

Does anyone know what the deal is with these milky painted blindbag two-packs??

Do you have a pic? I assume you are talking about micros. Odd for Buta to have blanks in a blind bag seemingly, and I know no of many yet unseen series, but OMB also does surprise.

Woops yea meant to include micros in that overly descriptive sentence. Im thinking theyre studio released. Twintail hurts particularly. Yes theyre painted.
Pic is on IG i dunno how to link those.

Thanks guys, I am not hep on all the kids' stuff. There is an instagram tag, but anyways, just so everyone can see. All pics borrowed from sadistictoy's photo feed via iconosquare.



I don't know anything about these, but studio/direct release does seem likely. It would be an feat for me to choose which of these I wanted most - I think the Takkong/Ghostron pairing just edges out the Earthron/TwinTail by the narrowest of margins - but it is a painful choice I would be very welcome to have.

EDIT: Oops, just beat me to it G, what with your gigantic post and all. :) Thanks mon ami!

Maximum Buta goodness with Minimum shelf space, Sad I missed the last four too. Looks like there are lots of little releases that Japanese fans get for the micros.

On the blog.

I'm thinking these brighties might get a larger release. Just because novelty = popular.

So that would be the first buta GID in like 8 years or something? Wowsa...

Come to me, glow friends.

They're both great, but I Really like this Twin Tail. I'd carry him with as a pocket pal (if I actually went anywhere).

Re: New Butanohana

I actually really love those pins he has been sharing in his last few posts. I couldn't garner much information about them, but I gather they were some kind of special promo giveaway? First an Ultraman one, and now evidently one from Return, I love them. .......Oh yeah, and those glowy toys are pretty good too, I guess.

Re: New Butanohana

Wed Feb 03, 2016 7:28 am

I think they are related to the Ultraman stamp rally that the train system does.

Re: New Butanohana

Wed Feb 03, 2016 7:32 am

Yeah, I kinda interpreted something like that through my poor Google translate (e.g. they were some form of train premium for the stamp voyage) so I appreciate the clarification. Now I am just more envious of not being able to do that journey, in addition to not snagging some neat stamps 'n pins. :P

So I guess a new line of original figures? Maybe based on a new book or something of his? I see them as being mini sized, anyone think they are micros? Liking the holey cheese head best so far.

Re: New Butanohana

Sun Feb 07, 2016 10:28 am

Ohhh I like those!! I don't recognize them so maybe they are original. That would be amazing to see more original stuff.

悪もん軍団 - Evil Mon corps, says the Google-bot.

That first tease was driving me crazy, as I knew I'd never seen that exact face before, but it reminded me of so many other legitimate beasties. The trio shot confirms that we're in for patchi heaven! Gingers crossed for a fresh header.

My first thought was micros, but the elaborate paint suggests minis. Time will tell; wallets will cry.

Wallets will definitely cry. I hope to see a standard release soon to.
