Post Recent Vintage Pick-Ups
All the SDCC posts are leaving me a little cold so I thought I'd post my most recent package of YJA scores. Let's see what "new" vintage you guys have picked up recently.

Image
Back row, L-R: Yonezawa patchi kaiju, Marushin Allosaurus (which completes my Marushin standard size vinyls - until someone finds one we have not seen before), unmarked Daikyu standing Triceratops, and huge Daikyu Dimetrodon (43cm long).
Front row: Marushin minis. The yellow Diplodocus is marked Marushin in Japanese and not in English like the other minis. I have a Gorgosaurus marked the same way.

Patchi kaiju minis. The back row are "baloon blowers."

The two leftmost balloon blowers really remind me of the Miura Pterodactyl minis. I've always wondered whether they were reuses of the molds (or, more likely, a bootleg of the toy).

Great finds! I'm pretty excited to see the Daikyo Dimetrodon 'in living color' so to speak. I just looked back at the famous Daikyo catalog scan, and it's apparently supposed to be an Edaphosaurus. But it looks more like a Dimetrodon to me...

Great dinos; have some of the bottom row of the second picture myself. The other 3 rows are going to be darn hard, I keep getting aced on the last minute bids. How long have you been hunting those excellent critters?
