Great lot! I rarely see the Bemular. I don't think its rare, but for some reason, it does not seem to pop up that often on YJ.

Thanks!

Her style was familiar and now I know why. I'm not so familiar with Paman, but i certainly know some of their other works.
I'm wondering now if she is missing her helmet?

I was guessing late 70's/80's for the Doraemon. I was pretty sure pre-90's because of the old fashioned non-windup walker.
You just need a slope and off he goes.

Also, I haven't seen a suction cup popper toy in a looooong time . . . .


*edit*

Looking at this one, she's definitely missing her helmet.

A man after my own heart! :D I have always loved Earthtron too, something about him is just fanstastic and strikes all my chords. Love the colours on the Bullmark, an excellent balance and really complimentary. Congrats on all the new fellas (giant Ace is definitely no slouch either), including that lovely beastie!

Thanks guys. I'll keep an eye out on the helmet for you Chris.

Not mail but my vintage haul from a recent vacation.
The very cool prehistoric animal quoits (ring toss) game by Daiwa and the Takatoku pachi/dino guy came from CKA.
The Sun Tower came from Kobe Toys. The red Triceratops and the small KR villain came from Gojira Ya.
The little tin car came from a flea market near Himeji Castle (Ima use it in place of the MAT car for the Bullmark magnet hand kaiju) The other stuff came from guys who had vintage stuff at Wonfes. Better pictures to come.

Great pick-ups Mark!

The ring toss game is pretty amazing, never seen it, really nice figures. And you know I love that Takatoku guy..

Wonderful gang, Anthony! Tsubu4Life.

Any chance of some closeup shots of your new prehistorics, Mark? Such a fun looking set.

Re: Vintage Mail Day

Wed Mar 23, 2016 10:18 pm

Wonderful things Mark! :shock: That ring toss game looks positively ancient, and yet still minty. Very nice indeed, and I am curious as to how you'll choose to display it in your collection. Can I please ask who made the double pink turtles? Looking forward to seeing more treasures! Totally peanut butter and jelly here :mrgreen:

P.S. Dear Chimply, I am also very jelly! :mrgreen: What a beautiful Earthtron! Lovely photo too.

No need to be sorry. Didn't mean to make it seem like I was scolding you. It's always great when collectors show their toys.

I've got plenty of the '92 reissues (including that one). Great figures to fill in gaps until the older stuff can be had. Congrats.
