    Anybody collect Vinyl Kaiju/Japanese Sofubi?

    I recently picked up this beast. Love the colors on him.

    He's a Super Fest exclusive, only 5 in the world with this deco.

    I collect the Japanese vinyl figures. Mostly Godzilla and related monsters and Kamen Rider are the ones I'm interested in. Been working on the Marmit Godzilla Para Babys and Toei Retro Middle Size Kamen Rider.

      Wild colorway on your Hedo! I can tell you're going to have fun with him; congrats!

      If there's a Space Ape involved, vintage or contemporary, I collect and am hunting: Saru No Gundan, Godzilla Black Hole Aliens, Message from Space, and Spectreman (Gori, Karas & Rah), Awesome Toy Electric Ape, Kikkake Iron Monkey, and ILU ILU Neo Gorilla. I'm also down with some Kong and Devilman goodness too.

      Things get a little crazy: http://megomuseum.com/community/show...48#post1455948

        I dabble in Godzilla. Those colors are spectacular.

            Super cool! He needs to come out and play!

            I wish I had the money and space to put stuff like this.

              He's gonna get unbagged once I get new shelving. I have a bunch I picked up in Japan that I've yet to unbag as well.

                I'm gonna be hunting vintage Kamen Rider and Ultraman vinyl when I return to Tokyo. Hopefully before year's end.

                  Back in the day I bought a new (at the time) 1991 Bandai Mecha-Kong from my local comic guy.

                  Was totally in love with it for years afterward but eventually had to sell it to pay some bills.

                  Man, I loved that thing

                    I like Bandai vinyl, but the vintage stuff has a charm to it in its simplistic, often inaccurate sculpting. I picked up a Bullmark reissue of the original Marusan Godzilla, just for its vintage charm.

                      I really like this, very nice vintage pick-up.

                        One of my favorites too. I have a mini version of this.

                          Nice paints on your Hedorah, B-Lister. I got my Y-MSF Glowie version painted by the KaijuZoo in '06.

                          Bandai did a really nice job on Mechani-Kong. I just wish they would have included his Bomb Belt.



                          Raymundo came to the rescue years later.

                            Hedorah still gives me the creeps.

                            That Bullmark Godzilla reissue hits all the right buttons for me.
