Clover Gundam Sofubi

Filed under: Co. CLOVER,Daily Money Shots,Erik Sjoen — erik sjoen @ 2:05 pm

I’m a huge fan. If it comes in a little plastic purse for me to carry around I love it even more. These are the red headed stepchildren of Gundam collecting for a reason. They are absolutely terrible. They are “BAD”. In my opinion they are Michael Jackson “BAD”. Or as Run D.M.C. would say “Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good!”. Yep.

Bandai Gundam RX178 MKII vinyl (1985)

Filed under: Co. BANDAI,Erik Sjoen — erik sjoen @ 3:40 am

13″ painted vinyl of the RX178 MKII Gundam from the series “Zeta Gundam” made by Bandai in 1985. This piece is more commonly found unpainted/white vinyl in a cardboard/black box. I totally wish that Bandai would have made other mecha from this series ala Johnny Ridden or Rick Dias ? Denjin, a small garage vinyl maker, did make many of these gundam baddies like Dom and Zaku, Roger can comment more on this.. Ironically, they are actually far more difficult and far more costly to find than this particular vintage piece.. Go figure.

Fujio Akatsuka’s genius manga Bakabon from 1967 is one of my favorites! As some of you guys know I buy the “unagi-inu” stuff like crazy. I think last time Hillsy and I were in Japan together I bought over 20 pieces.. Behold my current Akatuska-san shelf which also hosts a vintage vinyl of Akatsuka’s NYAROME (pink cat) and friends.

ALSO, pictured is an 8+ inch Nyarome vinyl I got in Osaka. SO DOPE!

Hero Gangu Osaka pt II

Filed under: Declarations,Erik Sjoen,Toy News — erik sjoen @ 5:07 am

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..
