couldnt believe my luck finding this guy . this is one of those vinyls i thought i would never have
the chance to own . this was in a shop in osaka about half a block away from my hotel . as my luck would have it the shop was closed the days i was there . so close but so far away . headed
back for tokyo and cancelled my hotel for the next night . next morning i hopped on the bullet train and headed back for osaka . not only went back to that shop but hit up an excellent shop in kobe .we ended up hanging out and having pizza with the guy who makes the space trooper toys . that guy has the most amazing bullmark/marusan collection on the planet .

Wow just wow! i would've went back for that too!

Any more pics of your trip????

Amazing. I have never seen even a photo of that one.

picked this up at a shop called jyarinco in machiya . this is one of my favorite shops as he has great stuff at good prices . he also gave me a crazy walking octopus as a gift . BTW flynn , your book kicks ass . dont go to japan without it .

Crap. Jyarinco was closed when we went. I could see all the tastiness but couldn't touch it.

Amazing pickups!

I just checked my Hukko repro of the mighty and it has no markings on the feet...it was originally IKB right?

Daikyo.

glad i went back to the nakano shops because i didnt see this the first time . i have had no luck trying to win this on yahoo so it was cool picking it up in in person .

went to the science hall toy show with low expectations as it was billed a show for new toys
only and not to expect vintage . someone forgot to tell the sellers as they brought plenty of
vintage . first time i saw this kaiju was at a store in osaka years ago . the owner and i got into
a discussion about patchi kaiju and he goes into the back and pulls this guy out . he explains
that this is an unmarked " peach " kaiju and is very rare and do i have this . well i do now !
anyway , back to the show . hooked up with matt and dennis and got to see datadubs new
parasite looking vinyl . datadub, that vinyl was so freaking cool im still thinking about that thing !
oh yeah , mike made out like a bandit at that show .

Stellar!!!!

Thanks for sharing!

i took this pic with you in mind paul . they are sitting at cosmo night alpha . not for sale .

Fantastic finds, Jim. Is that standing triceratops standard size?

Gah!!!!

Beautiful!!!

hey mark , the standing dino is standard size . i did see the marushin red allosaur but the price was 76000 yen .

Outrageous price tag on that Marushin Allosaur. Shouldn't that be about a 5000 Yen toy? Your pachi finds are so cool. Who is that hiding behind the reb bird-guy?

kissing cousins

Crazy stuff!

What is the Toygraph guy like?

fuuuuuuuuuuuck this thread hurts my insides

this is it mark . the toygragh guy is really a nice person . we got invited to his house to view his collection ( which is beyond amazing ) and he even bought us pizza (dominos ) !

Just wild! I love patchi kaiju with Gomora-horns.

i keep torturiing myself by coming back to this thread.
such cool stuff.

flipping awesome scores, keepthose picscoming. I want to see more dinos.

Ouch. This is great, just great stuff. Will have to do something about not having been to Japan yet. Those dinos are just so amazing!

God I have to go to Japan! Such cool stuff!
