Great holiday season. Part 2.





The second gift from my gal is a book I can't stop talking about, Beautiful Book of Monsters Part 1. Its a amazing collection of 614 photos of a man's Bullmark and Marusan collection. It showcases toys from both the Ultraman series and Godzilla films. The book is a softcover with a dust jacket and 178 pages of unreal pictures. I can't recommend this book enough, if you are a vintage toy collector or just want a great coffee table book.. Pick this up!!
Click on the images to see just a few pages from the book.





Great holiday season. Part 1.




Hope everyone had a great holiday. I just wanted to share some of the great items I got this season. First up is the M1 GMK Godzilla I received from my girl. It's the Flesh Green Ver. I have seen this one online before, but the spray in person is really great. Click on the photos for some nice close-ups.

A Girlfriend's Rant


Sometimes, in the pursuit of the perfect present, you need to go to the experts. For Christmas this year, the quest for the Bullmarks was beginning to be a little overwhelming so I decided to ask Jonathan for some help. I scoured eBay for at what felt like days before texting him SOS and admitting I needed advice. The one thing I found was a vintage Red King bullmark that looked to be in great condition aside from a small (not even noticeable!!) crack in the armpit. Thinking that maybe I'd stumbled across something great, I mentioned it to him with fingers crossed. Unfortunately it seemed that Red King was not high on Jordan's list, and the crack in the vinyl would be a big problem. Sigh. I move on, no bids and the thing gets sold.....
....
....
TO JORDAN!!
Come on! Unfair. Christmas is not ruined.
Ok, you'll have to wait to see what else Jordan is getting instead, but still. Thanks Jonathan.
