Butaphotastic magic, David!
Thank you!!!

Great photos David!
Brent - how about a whole cabinet shot, or are you still arranging?!

Papa got Mo' Buta...

Unbagged everything and emptied the cabinets for photos – much Mo' Buta than I thought I had!!!

What a great looking hoard, Ian, and so nice to see them all freed from their restricting baggies. Way to start a page!

Wow, a truly incredible sight. A lot of us know how hard it is (and you have worked) to build this collection, and really, that is dedication I admire. I will never get tired of looking at photos of Buta toys, even I can never own them.

awesome

thanks!! it was fun to get them all out for a group fondle

I can well imagine that! I especially love the close-ups, they are very photogenic!
Ahhhhhhhhh.... those elusive Big Lips!

"gentlemen, we're gonna need a bigger desk."

Wow

That's just Buta-licious!

Fantastic collection & great pics too! Thanks for posting these. It's always good to see a big group of Buta toys together. Nothing else quite like it.

Wow beautiful collection! Such a great range of colors, they look even better together. Thanks for sharing!

Those close-ups are great. I need to get that Arrow-on-the-chest guy.

Excellent work, Ian! Can't wait to see your complete set-up.

Awesome collection! Looks like a graduation photo from University of Pignose!

thats insane smog, impressive collection, good job!

I wish I could go back in time when I first started in this hobby, and re-do my whole collecting priorities. It would have been all Buta.
Such an amazing, happy toy collection!

It's kinda funny - I just took some full-family shots of my considerably less impressive than Ian's Buta hoard myself a few days ago. I'd sold off a few of them and wanted to catch them all together before I tossed the BST victims under bubble wrap for their next journeys. I'll save those snaps for another day and instead ask you to indulge me in some seriously flash-based photography from my 2nd Annual Tsuburaya Dance Party - held back in late January and in honor of Grace's triumphant return to the fold!

great party!

Doesn't look that much less-impressive to me, you have nothing to feel bad about there my friend - if second place, boy, what a showing. But, I do see quite a lot that you might as as well just pack up and send on their way.

You guys and your Buta collections are making me and my also-ran lot pretty shamed.

what you think you lack in very slight numbers, you more than make up in sheer fun factor!

keronia to baltan (first photo): "i totally forgot to pack sandwiches!"

^ you and me both, buddy. you and me both

Awwww... Thank you for the warm welcome back David ! I've been tending to my Mom's house being completely remodeled. Your Buta collection is pretty impressive as well! They look like they are all attending a hot rock concert in the mosh pit! And yes, you gotta admit that Butas not only have a high cuteness factor, great colors, but they are just really fun to play with! Extra gold stars to you David, for those fun outdoor shots! Your Butaversary photos are still amongst my favs

p.s. it's never too late to start adopting Butas, it just might cost you a few vital organs

Thanks for the comments.
Ha Choon! it may be a while before I get the full set-up how I like it again.
Great photos as always David! As happy as I am with my Butas, I see so many little beauties in your collection that I'd love to get my hands on!
Welcome back Grace!!!

I want to join the welcome party for Grace!

Although I think I saw a few comments from you on flickr during your absence.
