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

So a massive box arrives from Japan. I assume there has to be a dozen or so items in there. But then it occurs to me it is just one. One very important one. One I lost sleep over to ensure it arrived unscathed.

Welcome to my brain. A perfect dominion for obsessive “c10” disorder.

The girl, ammused, with iphone in hand, quietly documents my unpacking frenzy. Two pounds of bubble wrap later, Gekko is scanned and approved.

Check it out in its spontaneous oldskool low res glory.

Perhaps tonight I will sleep like a baby… well, until the next shipment anyway.

Battle of the beasts!
Bullmarks Baragon vs KYs incredible evil Crab from outer space

Zinc vs Plastic, $1,50 vs $150.
No chance for the crappy Crab. The winner is good old Baragon.
But this wind-up robot kaiju Goggle Crab isn’t that uncool.
It could walk and comes with a nice little box. Don’t know
much about the brand KY – Yamazaki. The Crab must be
from the 70ties and KY made losts of plastic wind-up toys.

Sorry for this crappy Brog…I’m a liar, the Crab isn’t from outer space.

…

This is what happens when you are convinced the mail is going to crush your toybox.

1. A custom order to CGA before the auction ends for UV protected acrylic case with sliding bottom.

2. An express mailing of said container to buying service in Japan. Buying service forwards to seller.

3. A followup diagram to the seller a of how to pack it properly ( without words to give away my “gaijin” status)

4. Express mail back to the buying service.

5. Additional packing and double boxing at buying service.

6. Mailed to neurotic buyer. ( with a request for preview photos before it is sent.)

Take pills and add water.

Sometimes I love this hobby.

Finally the sun shines in germany!

“So the Gaiking and the Bluefighter have the same torso”?
“Yes”
“So you could technically take the Gaiking chest and transfer it to the Bluefighter”?
…
“You know, that never occurred to me.”

And so a new hybrid was born.

Hope you have a relaxed long weekend guys!
