i had almost completely stopped with the transformers stuff, until i found that sky lynx at the salvation army. old transformers and voltron/godaikin/shogun warriors stuff are still all up in my heart.

JIMBO is almost kaiju xoco! he's almost dinosaur too! that's why i have one right between some anraku and the geborah.

My collection is pretty meager in terms of western and eastern but I have to say my favorite pieces in my collection hands down is the 2 Tone Gorrillaz set by KR. Eastern or Western that sculpt and the color ways are fucking rad. The colorways actually helped me find my focus on my kaiju collection. There are personal/nostalgic reasons why they appeal to my aesthetic sense tho. I feel so free getting this off my chest!!!! ;P

all kinds. i have a folk art stegosaurus to those little kaiyodo replicas, the only thing is, i don't like cute dinosaurs, they have to look mean and look like they mean business! the smallest is probably those aforementioned at about an inch and the largest is about 3 feet long.
my favorite of all time is the pleisiosaur, underwater dinosaurs rule! ;)

Not really guilty pleasures... there's a world out there besides kaiju! But I still buy a ton of Playmobil and buy the occasional 1/6th figure here and there (you know... 12" figure with clothes... errr... dolls...)

Medicom Vader and Boba Fett are two of my favorite figures :D

But as for guilty pleasures... I love cute stuff. Come on, how can you resist these little guys (guess I don't have to tell where I stole these from):

rement! i'm addicted to those as well, but since there isn't a retailer near by, my collection is pretty meager. the star of my collection is the rement pucchi combini series — the stand-up cooler + food — brings back all the fond memories of tokyo late night onigiri trips.

once in a while, with the right combination of risers, my toys have a tiny plastic feast :)

i never thought about organizing them like that. fantastic!

good to see there are more of us out there.

Cool... after you posted this, I was checking out sites with info on vintage/new dinosaur toys. Didn't realize there were so many.

I have a huge collection of the old British Museum / Invicta plastic models from my childhood... been thinking about digging those up one day (no pun intended).
