Post The Diaper Box: More odd buys
Celga shipped out a few months of stuff recently... packed in a box marked "Mamipoko BIG Size Pants, 32 pieces." I really hope these were kids' diapers and not, you know...

But I guess it really Depends how you feel about your toys shipping in weird boxes.

Image

Some Bear Model stuff. The Pinya was bought in-bag, and arrived covered in a healthy coat of vinyl slime. Let your toys breathe, kids.

Sasoringa from Silver Kamen.

Image

My Pet Rock from one of the Ultras.

Image

Pinya, topped with Vaseline.

Image

More later, perhaps.

I'm kidding. It's Annon- I think it's supposed to be a space rock kaiju or something. Correct me, please, smarter people.

Yeah, I really dig the colors on this one. Very colorful, with sort of a vintage feel. I think this is the only standard size Annon produced so far.

I think Celga saves the weirdest, most embarrasing boxes to send figures in...which I find hilarious.

What are the unpainted figures in the first pic? I can't make out who they are.

Unpainted test-shots of Vinyl Parababies, I think.

Some of them were cast in different colors of vinyl than the production versions. And they went for really cheap.

Kamen Ninja Akakage - Jyako (unpainted test shot in same color base vinyl on left).

Image

Akakage - Jijigora (blue test shot on left).

Spectreman - Gokinosaurus (unpainted blue test shot in front).

Image

Akakage - Kagara and Zabami (both unpainted test shots; Zabami was molded in red base vinyl in production version)

Spectreman - Silver Robo and Sariganindo.

The Akakage kaiju so far... Believe it or not, I think I only have about 2/3rds of the production releases!

yeah, that episode is really weird. there is a giant eyeball that appears on trees that kinda hypnotizes this little boy into taking the monster shaped rock to a certain area and then the monster comes to life. he makes a neat looking toy but one of the worst looking monster suits in my opinion, as it was one big piece and you can see the guy crawling around inside it, stretching it in all different ways.

RD - Sasoringa is standard size. Roughly as tall as a Gumos. In fact, he looks like Gumos' prehistoric cousin or something.

Thanks for the info, skylar. It's interesting to see how the costumes play into the character design, or I guess, vice versa, when I do some 'research' on the toys that I buy.

Wow...those parababies rock. I've been casually looking for them but might have to start a more serious search. That unptd glow gappa is really great.
