Searching through google and this site, I've found numerous attempts to gather information on Balzac toys, but they're all fizzled out with links to broken images.

I'm working on an actual spreadsheet, using information from the original Japanese promo ads for releases and whatever I can find on the net. I'm only halfway there and I need your help to complete this. I'm also collecting photographs and will soon post photos of the toyography in this thread.

Here is the spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... 5SkE#gid=0

You can scroll by year at the bottom. I'm very happy to get your feedback and missing data.

Currently, everything is in chronological order, but it might be better to give each type of toy (Medicom, Skullman, Skullbxbxb) its on tab.

Thanks for looking and helping out.

A very admirable endeavour! I wish that I could help, but the only thing I know about the subject is that Balzac toy releases are one of the most prolific collaborations around.

Give each of those bad boys a tab of their own if you can. I'm looking forward to following your progress Moonbeams.

Thanks.

Just added a bunch of 2009 stuff.

Ill do it for $0.10 a blank

Sorry, don't know about these toys but databases are always nice

5 cents plus 15% discount in your sales thread.

Wow, i think this is a herculean job!
Even documenting just what bbb exist out there would be already tough.
Add the skullman, vampire, kitty, bat, collabo etc...and to back track all these to the release years, months, edition size, etc will be quite a task.
I hope you can get this completed, it will be a super excellent resource.
For a start, u can bug livingdead for a list of all bbb and vampires ever released

I just made some progress in 2009. I'm getting my information as I can find it, as I just started collecting figures this year.

All the info below came from this site:
http://revolution1981.mad.buttobi.net/E ... 6blog.html
the links only work if you press enter in the url bar.

I'm pretty sure I have most (if not all) BxBxB, Vampires, and Merry's. Minus a random RECO version or two.....

Currently 169 figures documented. More coming later today (2011 info found).

This might be a silly question but you have the Super7 issues with Balzac, right?

That's not a stupid question at all.

I don't have them yet, but I just won #15 on eBay 40 minutes ago. I would really like these.

Here are my sources:

Mandarake, and the SWW and Skullbrain forums.

Made a lot of updates regarding the format for easier browsing. Contributions very much needed.

Yay, you did it again! Sorry I can't help this time, but congrats anyway! This seems also a little more ambitious/difficult than that other spreadsheet we did!
Will you be adding pic's btw?

No pics, that would slow it down. The Misfits spreadsheet we made takes 10 minutes to load. Good job with the Horror Xmasses. I saw those today.

Thanks, the pic's (except for the blue splatter) came actually from BadCarl.

get the legacy book from Balzac it has all of the releases up to a few years back, with pictures. I would focus your list on things that came after as an official book exists up to a point. Also chases may not be listed in book

I have the Legacy book. Unfortunately, no information is given along with the photos, nor are the photos in chronological order. The photos are grouped by opaque/translucent and matte/glossy.

Actually, I was hoping that you could help out as you are one of the most hard core collectors of these figures.

Good compilation of Balzac toy info

Maybe for images, just provide links?

That's possible. I was collecting images. If someone else wants to do that, they can have editing access.

I got it from one of the dead stock sales.

I neither have a good enough camera or time to go through and photo each Balzac toy both front and back. It is a project I have contemplated many times and have decided against. Maybe one day...
