Moved one of the Butanohana shelves from the detolf 4th floor to eye level on the 3rd (at least when I'm lying in bed they are). Pixlr-O-Matic no longer works as an application on my computer but I found I can just go to the site and mess around and save them to my desktop. Bored and having some fun... Anyhow I posted these just to torture David

What are all those other colorful things in the background? I didn't realize that people made toys taller than 5&1/2 inches tall.

Yes you did! I know that you want one of Oohashi's Giant Spacemen.

Don't give up on the dream!

those are for grown-up collectors. for when you graduate from buta-diapers and get serious.

^^^ oh low blow!
David's snow photos ALWAYS makes me smile! At the same time, it's a little bit like watching a horror show! ... you mean... you actual discombobulate and put them out in the snow???? ... and and... you actual PLAY with them?!?!?!??! Oh HORRORS!!!! My captives are always kept in a hermetically sealed biosphere, safe from harm, safe from prying hands, and safe from.... PLAY! ...well, ok, sometimes I do sneak them out and play with them

And Chris, your setup makes me think of Mr. Flynn's dreams! He once told me he had the same recurring dream that he's running around in a toy store in Japan, stuffed and crammed with vintage, and just when he's collected an overflowing armful of his very very very favorite vintage (for 1970's prices--c+h+e+a+p!), and racing to the cash register... POOF!!!! He awakens!

I've actually had similar dreams, that I was somehow transported back to my childhood (only armed with knowledge of what would be todays rarities) and somehow local US stores (in NJ) carried Bullmark etc. Silly dream! Anyhow my collection/set up is tiny, Flynn's is the real deal modern day dream

Hurrah! So glad to hear that, Grace!

Check out this latest blog pic from Oohashi-san:

It always makes me happy when I see him playing with his own creations.


This pic of mine is a repeat from a couple of years ago, but I'm pretty sure I posted it in a different thread the first time:

edit: Yep - the other pics from that day are back here.

very cool

This is definitely one my favorite pictures on the forum! It's got me inspired to take some new toy pics.
I can't wait to move in a few days so I can get my toys out.

David, you're the undisputed champion buta breeder. You have a school I can attend?

Well, I've always considered it more artful gardening than animal husbandry, but sure - I can pass on the ways of the Michigan method. Just send a couple of delegates my way and I'll teach them everything I know!

Buta-corner on my bookshelf now:

^ Nice palate, pal! What a harmonious looking family you're growing.

Finally added a few new fellas to my foist vinyl family. Been a long time - oh so very long hunting - for these guys. Everything I was expecting and then some. Butanohana pefection.




Oh no! It is a '66 crew tag team gang-up!!

Ah, Keronia... my first Butan love! Well landed, my Northern friend.



2011 says hello!
Buta ButaNoHana Grody Shogun Nug Keronia

Well I have many years of loving to catch up, but that's fine, I have plenty to give. Is there any better place for this delightful plant monster than outdoors? I'll have to enlist his help clearing away snow to find the forest floor.

Yay! Congrats Steve. Great new additions to the family.

Beautiful Keronia, still top 3 Butanohana for me. Old lettuce rules!

This guy was my first Butanohana love too back in 2009
Thanks again to the man who started this thread for passing him on to me, Deadbone aka Hams

^ All hail Hams! He set me up with one of my very first Butas, too:


What a fine day that was...

Aw, no need for tears Grace. Turn that frown upside down. Your family will be growing larger soon too, then we can all have a Buta dance party.

And we will always be second-tier and envy-struck when it comes to David's ever burgeoning wealth of these bitty fellas.

Congrats Steve! well deserved.
