Keep telling myself I don't need multiples of the same sculpt. But its really hard.

I can imagine, that is a really pretty Chibull.

"What is Mechara?"
Because it is often asked if ...

Characters come out toくんChibira
Always rowdy are not touched
But when you're sleeping cute guy I (it seems)

Thanks for snagging that screen cap, it is great to see the actual inspiration for this cool figure, and information can be hard to come by for us Japanese non-savvy folks.

ye, thanks D-.No

whole set is nice!

The Pakki and Chibull are particularly tempting, but I think I'll be skipping all of the older molds this round. Fingers crossed hard on being able to track down a Machara.

Looks like a wave of new figures is coming up soon. I am really looking forward to some entirely new sculpts. The Hydra (new micros?) looks remarkably similar to the Bullmark mini, and I don't think a more fitting tribute could be said. The Spaceman self portraits are really giving me a tight feeling in my pants though.



The mouth on this Todola is just perfect. Excellent balance of enough sinister-ism that beats out any other previous sculpts of him that err on the cutesy side. And pefert proportions too, I really like how he is not too spread out. Top it off with beaitful paint transition and a red chest - wooooo, I am in love.

Shhhhhh

Oops. Must remember not to feed the animals. Anyways, doubt most of us will have an easy chance to grab one, so I will just keep these photos as my toy porn.

Ahhhhh, hell with it...



Coming soon, for about a millisecond.

Alert your brokers, cross your fingers, sell some plasma.

I want glasses guy but I'm not jumping through hoops for Butanohana anymore. Make new releases easy to buy I'd consider it...otherwise I'll wait awhile, pick it up second hand.

Haven't been super crazy about a Botanohana release in a while.
I am in love with this one...

^^^ The blue Mechara and his Chibira-Kun buddy Gebagoro are my absolute favorite toys of the year.




Give the robot your heart, too, Connell!




Or else!

^^^^ OK you've convinced me. He is pretty damn cool. How could you not love a robot with a mustache? Do wish he had his crown though.

^^^ Just use one of your old cigar bands, Papa!

Hail, Hail, The Gang's All Here!



or mostly here, in the case of Ultra Q...


Goro, Sudaru and Goga must be off having a smoke.


So cool that Buta seems to be Buta's biggest fan.

nice collection! those guys are the only ones I really wanted to collect as a set. cool stuff.

^^^ Just to be clear those family pics were lifted from Buta's blog!

In case any of you have micro-envy GT has the first four sets up right now at a superb price!

ooh, new set sample:



bemular, gigass, dodongo?

Bill! I just washed these pants... now I have to start all over.

Fantastic! I've been wishing for a Buta regular size Bemular and Dodongo for awhile, but I'll gladly take the micro versions.

me too. maybe someone can recast these in that novelty material that grows when soaked in water...?

What the hell is Balunga? And what show is it from?

He (it?) is a monster from Saturn from Ultra Q. He absorbs stuff

Buta stuff is really hurting me these days, with the amazing releases and the impossibility and expense of getting them. But damn, that Gigas mini melts my heart (or at least causes some rust build-up on that metal thing in my chest).
