Haha, a lot of it is in my kitchen on every available shelf and flat surface. It looks a little crazy.
I'm practically a hoarder of toys, along with books and dvd's . . . .
The rest of the toys are scattered around my home and in boxes in my spare room.
I live on my own so nobody has made me tone it down.

He's only a little over two inches but he's quite chunky.

Thats why i like badteethcomics 'Top 5 Toys!' blog so much.
http://top5toys.blogspot.com.au/

Here's a group of Shishi / Komainu masks with articulated jaws. I first thought they were toys but maybe they are something
like Napkin holders . . . i dont really know. They are pretty cool and made of plastic that looks a bit like lacquered wood.

£2 for the set at a boot-sale.

Picked these up a week or two ago. I think of them as 'Berserker' Gundam. 20p each at a boot-sale.
The chest lights on these actually work which is unusual. They are around 6.5" high.
I had to search in the box for a while for the green versions helmet-crest.

The only difference between the sculpts is the torso . . . .

BERSERKER!!!

Pretty sure this is a bootleg of a large 'Rubber Ugly'. I have no idea how old this is.
The vintage ones are 60's/70's.

I would like more!

That is a great one. I have seen a lot of these rubber beasties, but can't recollect coming across that one before. The paint is great, much better and varied choices than you usually see with these cheap fellas too. I can definitely get why you would want more of them. :) Another winning treasure rescued!

These little bootlegs were 20p each.
There was a red one with no wings and a missing arm snapped-off at the shoulder (not pictured) which they threw-in for free.
100mm high. Sunday boot-sale.

Gizmo shopping accessory. Open the zip and folded inside is a fairly large red cloth-bag.
Perfect for that last minute kawaii shopping-spree in Akiba :)

Walking Robot Pencil Sharpener
50p at a boot-sale.

Sharpening a pencil winds it up (there is also a key provided) and the shavings
are stored in its head . . . fun little novelty.

Really nice one, Terminator stuff never goes out of fashion with me. If anyone knows of any good car boot sales/garage sales/flea markets worthwhile checking out in the south Wales area or nearby, I would love a heads up.

^^ That is very cool :)

I bought this one on Sunday from a vintage market . . . . its by Jonas Bros Taxidermy. I have no idea how old.
It was obviously taken from an old stuffed animal . . . . made of very durable and detailed plastic. The tongue
is a separate piece . . . .

Lion? Tiger? Bear?
Anyone have an idea?

^ What a cool & crazy thing! I'd say feline. A wonder it didn't mangle its tongue; it barely fits!

^^ Yeah, i realised its most likely actual size, of course . . . so maybe a Leopard or Puma.
Hard to be sure.

Here's some recent charity shop buys.
20p each.

Anyone know the name or series this is from?

Post Re: garage sales
Damn, Moog, I am always jealous of your great finds. I have still yet to come across a boot sale or flea market here. Dang, I don't know the specific name of the parachute fella you have there off the top of my head [I think he might just be referred to as 'Boxer'], but damned if it doesn't bring back memories. There were a whole series of them, called Parafools, of which I have a couple. I am not sure if they were 'licensed' as such, but they would often be available in five-and-dime type stores, and they were around I think since the 1970s (or possibly earlier), cashing in on the same aesthetic as Nutty Mads and Weird-Ohs. You can tell they are pretty old (the original molds that is) by the dated subjects of the characters too, e.g. hippie, surfer. Here is a quick pick from a lineup of same series. They were available in a variety of colours at least until the 80s.



I am sure some googling around can tell you a bit more. You need to grab a cheap toy from the shop to replace his parachute, and toss him around for good times! I know the weather here lately would take him away with no problem. Cool turtles too, man.

Newest Beetleborg find, blue one on the left. These are usually in really bad condition when you find them in the wild.
These two are in a pretty good state considering i found them slung in boxes with lots of crap . . .

Bandai 1996.

No idea. Probably just a cheap toy found in discount chain-stores.
The red and silver makes me think of Ultraman of course . . . .
