Been a while since I posted up, so I thought I would post a few pictures of a few cool and weird things spotted on yahoo recently.
First up: Kamen rider finger puppets. You see most of these from time to time, but this was he first time I had seen the Kumo Otoko (spider) and Hasami Jaguar but then again, I had never really looked for it either.
Second: Kumo Otoko is one of my favorite Kamen Rider villains, so I try to pay attention. This auction included the rare brown vinyl version of the mini vinyl figure. This went for more than I expected, but probably not an unreasonable amount. I did not win, as I am a passive cheapskate on the KR villains.
Third: A middle size missile firing Gaiking with box. What is not to like about gaiking, much less a missile firing version? Once again, I am not a super robot expert, so I had not seen this figure before. I really like the way it looks, especially with the box. Can any of the SR guys chime in and tell me how hard these are to find, as I need to get one of these bad boys.
Fourth: IQ-9 from starblazers. The blue version can be found pretty much everywhere you look, still in bags. I had never seen the purple variant before. That said, I am not sure anyone will ever care.
Fifth: Zaboga cycle, but in super mini size. For a mini plastic figure, this one sure is packing in the detail and a large number of separate pieces. kooky.
sixth: There aren't a lot of toys for this guy, but three colors on a blow molded plastic bank could be hell to track down one by one if you were a completist.
Lastly: Attack Frog! We wage war on the humans! Animated amphibians on the loose!
