@Joe- Bad decision . Now ship them over.
Hey, didn't know that Goji's a little taller, cool!

@Jay- you don't stop at one, do you?! Great collection! Same over at the Zollmen shelves too!

is that doubles i see of the purple dust monster..
care to spread a little christmas cheer?

let me know

Such as life of a toy fan/collector!

Butas are addicting.

It's been called for already.
Plus, they're technically not the same.

ahh well it was worth a try. Nice collection definitely some of my fav buta toys in that bunch.

Very Cool purple Dustmans Joe!
Your Butano collection is certainly growing. You need a Magra, spikey goodness looking prehistoric

very nice! those damn dust monsters are an elusive bunch for me!

and on a side note, does anyone know where i can get a buta Pippi figure?
long story short, my gf is a teacher and it is her desktop image.
the 4th graders she teaches went ape shit over the little guy, so she took mine in to class one day.
Pippi has become their new class mascot (but her class calls him Pepino) and she now wants to buy one for her class.
anyways, it's a shot in the dark but i figured i would post up about it for her.

all I see is

I want to see some pictures of buta's astroboys... I know a few people who have them on here, come on! Let's see some pics.

Mr. Bean is definitely enjoying the Butanohana family!

The Green Godzilla is a very lovely shade of green, sort of like dark jade. Much better in person than in photos.
Mr. Bean now hopes and dreams for a Hayabusa (with his cute vacuum-cleaner weapon arm), some naked cave men and women, the little squiddie, and a heavenly spaceman!

@ Joe. You did cave!! Awesome picks. Great to see em' all together in an unruly mob.

@ Mr. Humphreys. Cool photo. Looks like Godzilla is taunting Mr Bean.
Kanegon looks to be scratching him behind the ear which he seems to be liking

Mo Buta!

There really ought to be more blue (and other alternate color) Ultraman figures.

In particular I love the "red headed" Ultraman by Buta.

Thanks, Ralph! This guys is too much fun!

I can't get my King Joe to balance correctly.

I blue-tack them together. The legs on mine are quite ok. Just a rotation inwards did the trick.

Ah, no wonder.
Was trying to figure out what to do w/ mine.
Thanks for the info.

I would realy like that they get out a Hayabusa/Gomira set this year.
There is so many of them on the WANT section,
that it would please a lot of us that don't have either of them, I guess.

Some cool Buta dudes.

Alien Rayblood and Glowzam. Here's a toy nerd minute. If I'm an alien I'll call myself Rayblood. My vote for best alien name.


Gomora and Bango


and my vote for best header!

Awesome kurumonz, the Gomora looks amazing, can't wait to get mine.

Thanks, jefftallica.
Buta did and excellent job on Gomora, especially the signature zig-zag pattern on his horns. I thought Bango was a winner too with its retro look and simplicity.

What's really interesting is that Buta's producing new kaijus too. The 4 latest releases of Deathlem, Belial, Rayblood and Glowzam are from the latest Ultraman movie. Typically, most of the toy makers do only older kaijus and hardly any new ones. I've always wondered what their take on the newer kaijus would look like and Buta's filled that void pretty well. Just hope I can keep up.

I love the Bango! What a face. Wish I could score the green one. The headers make me smile every time I see one.
I'm liking the newer figures but I would go crazy to see this one in a new color...

YES!!

love the Enmago, wish i could get my hands on the original.

Kurumonz, thanks for the advice on blue-tacking King Joe!

Just by chance, I happened to check JYA (after being away for a long time!), and I ended up adopting a long sought after pair!


Can someone please tell me when these were made, and what is the name of the flesh-colored birdy guy? The auction description said "bare radon" in googlese. Thank you
