It would be great if it could make a print magazine or a book. |

EDIT: scratch that. I was going to recommend this book: https://www.flickr.com/photos/organic_a ... 431187973/ But it's mainly licensed companies. Can't recall a good book for patchi toys. I agree one should be made. I think Yuji's book might have a few and those Great Empire's "Get The Vintage" maybe also a few pics. |

Lixx thank you for the link, It would be nice if someone made a publication; with different pachi figures, put different variations made of each character, the art used in the header card, know whether it was a one workshop or more, if there were some images of these workshops would be great. I think I'm too obsessed for this  , but I find it very interesting.Best regards! |

The great thing I think about bootlegs is the hunt! No lists just eye widening surprise and joy when you find something you haven't seen before... back to LionMaru...  removable head !  Bullmark villians..

Thanks for sharing Scott, I love that removable head Lion Maru, it's a beautiful piece. Still I do not understand why most Japanese bootleg are just the Heroes and I don't remember any Villain. I think in my last post I expressed incorrectly  ; what I meant is that I have a bit so obsessed with bootleg figures and the story behind the production.Best regards! |
