You are, as always, too kind. But damn straight, these guys were literally made for each other! I don't think I'll ever get tired of constantly rearranging the Tsubatroops.

Posted these in the 'mail' thread, but I figure they are deserving of some solo shots as well. Three classic characters done by the master's hand.

the buta party never stops, never sleeps how'd'ya fly baloonga in the photo? is he supposed to be the disco ball at this perpetual night club? so much fun!

Steve, you're killing me with that blue cardigan'd Chibull!
LOVE that toy!
Congrats, man!

Richly deserving! So happy you were finally able to bring these on home, it really has been a long time coming. Thanks, too, for demystifying the origins of that excellent little car. Makes all the sense in the world.

Well he belongs in the sky, right?



To paraphrase the magicians, 'it's all done with NAILS!'

Disco's fine and all, but for whatever reason my Butas seem to be happiest when dancing to krautrock.

Very nice scores Steve. These two just landed here.

The Buta Woo is my all time favorite sculpt. The dopey look is just classic. Especially the yells' version. Love him

And how!

He is definitely one of the guys that can really make you fall in love with Buta sculpts. So much 'monster' personality, and still so loveable. I'd really love to see a stop-motion animation with all these guys - they photograph so well.

Totally! If only we could get the Oohashi family and the Rankin-Bass folk together in the same blip of the space-time continuum...

Buta's Woo is just about the ultimate gateway drug in the world of sofubi.

Aaargh, its giving me a headache. But I like the green set.

Yes, my Canadian friend, I am a hypocrite.

Hah, well when it comes to Butas, no one deserves to have two!

What a great pair of raging kaiju brothers. Finally reunited and free to get back to the friendly sibling monkey fights.

Ha! Yeah, who shall rule? Grudge match for the top bunk!

I often forget how great that little tail is. Ohashi-san needs to make a matching one in flesh/blue now! I would love to see some other kaiju 'bits' eventually too. (at this point it is probably easier to name the things I don't want to see from Buta)

And people, we need some tiny human populace! Oh, and speaking of which, a Science Patrol member!!!!

Great Pic Tooth' !

Yeah, who's the other troublemaker here that posts those crazy flashing GIF's that causes me seizures

^^^ Me?



...and thanks, Neffie!

^^^^^
Ha!

That one is so intense in its seizure-inducingness that it is actually mesmerizing, and I find I cannot look away.

i was going to say the same thing. truthfully, i was going to ask if such a thing already existed, but you saved me the embarrassment in the same vein, i'd like to see jirass' torn off frills as an accessory.

if the red one had a bit more metallic blue or green spray, it'd be perfect. as it stands, it almost looks like a different character altogether, especially from its profile view.

nice shots, d.

Thanks, Bill!

Some points of reference:





Our Man Buta makes toys of TOYS!



I never get tired of mentioning that, sorry!

I've picked up several members of Oohashi's Army that I thought I'd never score, and there are plenty more I probably never will...



...but these four are the ones I thought I'd never want!
Please enjoy the colorful glory of the Heisei krewe - Great toys of terrible characters!



And then go visit Ian's new thread!

Trying to catch up on all of the new stuff.... Can anyone please provide a link to the episode that explains the tail sprouting the eye?
