Thank you Andy! :D
There is a catalog or book only about vintage Japanese bootleg?


There aren't even many references available online. This is the only pachi one I know of ( I think its been posted before). Its missing a ton but still cool to look at.

Thank you XVivaHateX, here are many members who have great photos and have more knowledge about pachi figures. It would be great if it could make a print magazine or a book.

EDIT: scratch that. I was going to recommend this book:

But it's mainly licensed companies. Can't recall a good book for patchi toys. I agree one should be made. I think Yuji's book might have a few and those Great Empire's "Get The Vintage" maybe also a few pics.

Lixx thank you for the link, It would be nice if someone made a publication; with different pachi figures, put different variations made of each character, the art used in the header card, know whether it was a one workshop or more, if there were some images of these workshops would be great.
I think I'm too obsessed for this :twisted:, but I find it very interesting.

Best regards!

The great thing I think about bootlegs is the hunt! No lists just eye widening surprise and joy when you find something you haven't seen before... back to LionMaru...

Thanks for sharing Scott, I love that removable head Lion Maru, it's a beautiful piece. Still I do not understand why most Japanese bootleg are just the Heroes and I don't remember any Villain.
I think in my last post I expressed incorrectly :mrgreen: ; what I meant is that I have a bit so obsessed with bootleg figures and the story behind the production.
Best regards!
