Okay, I can't take the torture anymore. Did anyone here grab that Cobalt through Celga? I don't begrudge you the win, but please post some pics (to rub him in my smelly face) if you did.

Been hunting one for years (him or Astro). That was a hard miss.

G-Unit. Let's see if I got them right.
L-R. Abe, Ohashi, Aso, Koizumi and Hatoyama.

^^^ Sweet snap!

I had applied different names for them, though:

Bill and Oli did some translations for me from the character sheet - where did yours come from, Choon?

^ his names must be those of the politicians the heads are based on, no?

^Haha. Yup. I was trying to guess who they really are. But the second guy with glasses maybe a politician and not Mr. Buta himself.

Full house! Sweet Gs, B.

Those are full set ? 17 figures ?
I only have S2 , 7 figures.

yes Jimmy. set 1 (including the 3 all yellow variants) and set 2

amazing !

So how many total prime ministers or politicians have been made?

6? Wasn't Noda one of them.

not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but can someone get me a scan of pygmon's balloon? i'd like a 1:1 scale image so that i can produce a template for reproducing it in some fashion. perhaps a pipe dream? thanks in advance to the generous soul who can fulfill my wish

late update: this board is a great. i've been provided with not only a scan, but a set of color/material reference photos and a vector trace to boot. much thanks!

Great idea Bill! I have never seen one in person, but it appears to be of 'inflatable' type material, no? If you can get a scan, that would be great, but even if it is not the same, if you have a way to make some count me in. Any balloon type accessory would be great. It would not be that bad hotpressing the vinyl sheets if could get them, but making the valve is the more difficult part. I actually would love to buy a couple in different colours, maybe add yellow and blue to the batch? I have been hunting around the few times I am in bargain stores, but have not found anything yet.

Haven't posted here in awhile:

^^^ Glad to see you hooked up with nu Wu!

Rescued from the just Got in the mail thread, number 2:




Buta Butanohana Ultraseven Namegon Gomora Gomess Goro Pegila Garamon Kanegon Kemur Titanus Edmontia

I personally believe that buta ultraseven should cost no more that $50 but unfortunately for me flippers don't see it that way

No thread makes me smile more than this one.
Sometimes I just like to start all the way back on Page 1 and click through it all again.
So many great toys...

Rescued from the just got in the mail thread...


...and the pantry.

Purakeriasu Corythosaurus Eleking Gudon maglar magular magila kyojin giant mongler mongura bango mikuras mikulas hare gogla

pantry shot is excellent

^^^ Rum rum rummmmmm! Nice. Why in the world did I let you have that little car?


Taro krewe minus two. Wait... minus three! Ack.

Thanks, Ben!

Really great small vehicles Brent, now we definitely need a vinyl city scape and some human victim to populate it with!

That is some nice Taro action too. I am really glad to see so many Buta families growing continuously. Even if my own orphanarium remains sadly lacking.

More of the same, but with looming Baloonga.

Awesome! I love all of your family shots. Butas are amazing by themselves, but somehow, when you put them all together like that, they look even that much better. I don't know if it is the variety of colours and great sculpts, or just how fun all the expressions look together - and I don't care - it just makes me smile.

And great work on the 'floating' Balloonga! With the Ultra mask hovering in the sky, it all looks just right.
