Hey guys, I picked this guy up because he reminded me of various patchi creatures, but I can't find any info/other pics etc. of him. I did some cursory searches through the various awesome collections here but couldn't spot him. Anyway here are the pics:    And here is a pic of the maker's mark on the bottom (yonezawa?):

It's by Yonezawa. Actually has a name too- Dabura. That's a really nice find. First time I've seen one 'in person.' |

Of course, ダブラ (Dabura) is a Japanese approximation of "Doubler." Perhaps he should be dubbed, "Doublar"?

Thanks for all the great info guys! Yeah he's awesome despite his imperfections...is missing an ear/horn on one side, and he does have a little writing under his other foot. Anyway, yeah I really like these Yonesawa kaiju...Josh, I need that monkey wolf dude too! Let me know if you're bidding on one, so I don't bid you up. |
