I would have to give quite a bit of thought to choose my favorite standard size release...a truly amazing year...but as far as mini's go...

I concur with the sitting Kanegon, I only have the pink one, and it rules.

...but my personal favorite mini for '08 would have to be the Yamomark 'Gang leader' frog guy...

This guy just makes me smile...friends that see my toy shelf are always drawn to the little smoking frog with an attitude. 8)

So many threads like this I didn't know which to post in. I chose this one, screw it.

Dempagon overall, and this one in particular. The others are my "honorable mentions."

Ohh Anthony I like the top ten idea better than just one. So many good releases this year:

1) Zollmen Maza
2) Shikaruna Dororu
3) Shikaruna Bagun
4) Toygraph Spacetroopers
5) Hukkokudo Space Kaiju 1go & 2go
6) Zollmen Bembera
7) Zollmen Zudon
8 Emupaiya King Heater (first gold one)
9) Shikaruan Dagigon
10) Butanohana Kurozaru

That pretty much covers 2008 for me. I agree 100% that 2008 belongs to Shikaruna and Zollmen

By far the funnest part of being on this board this year was the Zag contest

Image

The Bigaroid... crappy pic I know

Image

Loads of Booska Toys

Image

And the new GB and the Micronaut flash back which was one of my favorite toys and brought me to 'here'
