 Popy Gaiking mini sofubi set This set is awesome! Total FUNK.   I really don't care for "vehicle" sofubi, like the gingaizer ships or iron gear for example, but these just fucking rock. I didn't think it could get funkier than the Popinika diecasts but low and behold..

Re: Popy Gaiking mini sofubi set Gorgeous set, Unca Sjoen! I covet your Nessar. I still need one.  Do you have the Daikumaryu? I just have the Unifive reissue...good 'nuff for me...

Re: Popy Gaiking mini sofubi set Sanjeevery,
Dude, you should pick up the popy mini Daikyu. It's only $25 or so on YJP. Well worth it. I have one on the way.
Gatchabert,
Obsessive YJP searching and networking. Feel the love.

I don't have the original Popy mid-size Daiku that Unifive reissued. The reissue's good 'nuff for me (though it looks out of place...all shiny and new & shit). I also recently scored the fish-eye lens Gaiking, but I got it mainly for the card art. I'm pretty sure you have that one, Erik.

Re: Popy Gaiking mini sofubi set I believe it's close to the original but not exactly the same (much like the Uni 5 jumbos)

Re: Popy Gaiking mini sofubi set I love the little dino with wings  I'd love to see a wider shot though, I've always wondered how people display their "boxed" collections

Re: Popy Gaiking mini sofubi set Can anyone produce a picture of the original? I've never seen nor heard of a vintage Daiku Maryu vinyl aside from the mini sofubi.

Re: Popy Gaiking mini sofubi set I believe that there are two different sizes of the Daiku Maryu vinyl. Also, I used to have a comparison pic of the Unifive and Popy releases, but I can't find it now. Maybe its at home. Anyway, here's the smaller Popy one.  And while looking through my pics, I found this one of a green-headed one!

Unfortunately my collection isn't displayed it's stored, out of necessity of course.. What can I say, I live in San Francisco and have a SERIOUS space issue. Great contributions to this thread! Thanks guys!
