My Hamsa Kaiju Mini Gargamel !
Tiff | 8:37 PM on 11.23.2007 29 comments


It's pretty obvious that I have this largely obsessive penchant for collector vinyl toys of every capacity. It must have hit my consumer nerve sometime a few years ago, right around the time Kid Robot debuted. Since my very first Gloomy Bear I've managed to fill a whole shelf to the brim with designer toys and plushes. I'm very fond of my collection, and when I marry it will serve as my dowry:



Today low and behold I get a package at my doorstep addressed to Hamsa. "Whut?!" I thought to myself, confused that Hamsa had addressed a package to me. After a few hurried text messages and a phone call Hamsa informed me that it was for me, so I opened it and look what I found!:



That's right, it's a sweet ass imported Kaiju Mini Gargemel toy that I've wanted for a while. Hell YES. This buddy is made of clear vinyl and spray painted blue adn green on the outside. You can take off his head and insert guts of any sort. I decided to name it Hamsa, because Hamsa gave it to me, of course ^^;.

Thanks Hamsa! I put him right next to my Hello Kitty 'Personal Massager' in weird Green Pony Costume on my shelf (a birthday gift from Azereki!). They'll be friends forever, vibrating in tandem till the end of time.

Ladies and gentlement, Teta has just invented the term "dildish" defined as "looks or appears in the nature of a dildo".

Well then I suppose it's appropriate that I sat him next to the Hello Kitty then :D

English not being my main language makes me Stupidish.
Defined as "looks or appears in the nature of being Stupid".

Yes, it does indeed look “dildish”. But even more than that, it looks pretty damn cool.

Holy crap Volcanon!

I had no idea you were a collector, your collection fucking pwns mine!!!I love that skull dunny you have down at the bottom, and I almost bought the gingerbread one when I was at Kid Robot the other day but withheld my desires in exchange for a buttload of munny keychain pulls and smorkin' labbits.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.

You can go to Super 7 and order them from there. There are some sick nasty imports there but they're pretty expensive.

@Volcanon -- No way! Three golden tickets? As in, for the special limited edition Kozik Dunny? Did you redeem those? Does it look like a labbit? XD

@ Analog Pidgin

YES! I got a golden ticket in the first box I ever opened. My friend who introduced me to them almost had a heart attack. After a few visits to Urban Outfitters, I bought 20 blind boxes and pulled 2 more golden tickets.

My co-workers now rub my belly when picking their lotto numbers...

As for the current status of my Golden Tickets, 1 has been redeemed by me, 1 was sold (cheap) to my friend who got me into Dunny's, and the 3rd is listed on eBay!

Totoro, plushes, kidrobot (girly scream) Its nice to see I'm not alone. Kidrobot is great however recently not so much.I live in Canada so I have to ship all of my toys in. Well right now they only have the express shipping method which means that toy US$24.00 + shipping US$46.00 = my head implodes. Thanks to ebay I'm able to get my fix. The much sought after Yo Gabba Gabba dolls are sold out. I'm bidding as we speak. Brobee is my fav. I also got a sweet deal on the elusive Green Gloomy Bear (thankyou Japan). Kidrobot may be awesome but right now they are bitchslapping all their international fans. When I'm not too busy writing essays for school I'll post pics of my small collection and then there must be more discussion.

@Sassafras

KidRobot has dissapointed as of late. I think its because they likely promoted their company in the right way so they are at the forefront of their competitors (myplasticheart, giantrobot, etc.).

Yo Gabba Gabba is the shit though. I had no idea that their toys sold out so quickly! I used to be in touch with the Producer after seeing some of their pilots...havn't actually watched much of it since it debuted on air though. Good luck getting your toys though!
