Part II of Ganira Brog: Ganira’s hidden face

BBS

Bad boy bot Ganira.
Nothing special, but a great piece of painted zinc.

Ganira likes to kick Pegas ass.
Any Ganira fans out there? BBS…

Standard sized sofubi by Nakajima 1975.

The Skull Star from the Tiger Mask Series

The SUPER DUPER RARE red vinyl Capsule Robo G MFV compliments of Uncle Warren Schwartz. I forgot the back story of where/when he picked this up, but I just came across this pic and had to post it! The kind of thing many of us around here would kill for…

Discuss on the BBS HERE!

Daily money shots!

Thank you Uncle Warren!!

Nakajima Tekkaman Blade talker

I figured a thread about talking vinyl was overdue, I’ll start it off with a not-so-perfect but still respectable  Space Knight Tekkaman via Nakajima. Enjoy!

A flash back moment of an epic battle between one geeky clothing designer and Nakajima Ultra Earth

“In one of the more surreal moments of my life… I am tasked with outfitting an Astro Mu 5 figure . In my entire fashion career, he was the most difficult creature I have ever had to dress, second only to an angry Siamese I stuffed into a Frankenstein costume.”

-Regan

This little baddie was a gift from a good pal last year. Probably my favorite Nakajima piece, next to the magnemo sofubi. Thought I would shoot some quick pics.

Bought my first Nakajima Tiger Mask Standard Size Vinyls:
Great Zebra & Mr Question

I always had an eye on these crazy looking Wrestlng guys,
but didn’t dare to start collecting them. I know why!
These japanese Luchas are pure funk and you want them all ;-)

After cleaning them with all kinds of plasic & car paint cleaners
they look very good again. I also tried a Ultra sonic Cleaner
the first time for cleaning the face, boots, hands etc.
Worked very good! Only water with a bit soap, leaving
them a few minutes in the Ultra Sonic Bath and the dirt has
gone without destroying the paint.

I already won a few other of these psychadelic wrestling guys Yahoo.
The good thing is that they pop up quiet often. Only getting them
complete with all “accessories” (sash, cape, boots etc) is a bit tricky
and pushes up the price for them. The Tiger Mask Bug bite me !

More stuff etc in the BBS.

cheers all
