toyboxdx toy blog brog: is graceful art of daily expressing japanese toy  

…in germany. Finally! The weather was great today, so
I took my Mattel Astro Robot out of the glass showcase and
made some fotos just for fun.

Jumbos need some fresh air from time to time ;-)

For your viewing pleasure.

Just look at those magnificently overdeveloped forearms. When removed they reveal, of course, spring-loaded elbow missiles. All the rage, back in the day. Enjoy.

OK. So I’m at long last following up on my previous post from April. Been there done that. No pics inside. Almost got my ass kicked. Overpriced as hell. No love for me.. Regardless, it’s a cool looking shop with BIG stuff like store displays and the like. They actually have a Diapolon store display in there, but they threatened my life if I took a pic of it.. Ba humbug..

Mach Baron by bullmark. This one is entirely hard plastic, except for the slightly less than Hotwheel sized metal Celica stored in his foot.

I picked up this loose winking Garuban, but I wanted to fix him up a bit.

While I typically am against my wife’s scrapbooking hobby (all the money going to her supplies could go to my collection, after all; actually, it stems from my collection’s ouster from the office and entry into its new locale of a closet), I hoped she could help me out in this case. Sure enough, after digging through a few drawers and bins, she came up with a new gem eye for my figure. Not only that, but she managed to produce a sheet of other colorful gems!

Oh, the possibilities! Maybe one day, but for now, he’s back to normal.

(Now if I could only find some hands or the buildings!)

Akumaizer Gabura, Takatoku. A favorite of mine…the dude is just sooo weird!

Shadow box, that is.
