My useless toy project of the weekend was dividing the released Buta toys into lists of the show/manga/film etc that they were originally licensed from. When I'm actually displaying my toys rather than playing with them I tend to segregate them that way anyway, and a nice and tidy set of names broken up into lists of digestible length can only help my obsessive collector self navigate the picto-database with that much greater ease. I learned a ton while scouring the net for info, grabbed a few shows I'd never seen before, and came out with a pretty thorough breakdown of SO's pop culture interests made public. The carrot for me was demystifying the origin of the few characters I wasn't already sure about (and discovering more about those I was), and I thought I'd turn to the board to see if you can help out on the tail end.
Thanks to the boardies whose original posts I used for some of the info here, thanks to Smo9monster for helping me with the last couple IDs, and huge thanks to Lixx for all the work in piecing together this thread in the first place!
Any comments, suggestions, corrections and further information would be most welcome, and I'll update and annotate these list as often as something new and helpful is scared up, or a new toy hits the shelves.
Hopefully a few of you will dig this.
