Contest time...

I will be starting a contest on Saturday that will run for one week. The contest is called "TRADE ME".

I will be offering a Cythulhu, Elephunt, Neclos Cthluhu, Big Arm, Essen, and Nama Niku's newest figures Brute Squad and Chibi Manzilla in a Thermal Black that turns Pink in heat or Silver. Winner Chooses.

To enter you just have to post and tell me what you would trade me for them, the person with the best trade wins.

I know it seems a bit weird, but I have always found trading a fun part of this hobby, and I know there are a few fans out there than dont have the money to buy all my customs, so here is a good win/win compromise.

So either post a link to a pic of what you would be willing to trade or just a list.

I will label the winner the following saturday, Sept 7.

**I need at least 5 people to enter for this contest to be relevant. Just in case only one person enters and offers a Banana peel.**

Super Rare Kinkeshi - Mr. VTR (ミスターVTR)

I was just going to cast up the King The 100t Super Rare, but I decided to cast up my Super Rare as well, Mr. VTR (ミスターVTR). One of my favorite of the Super Rares, I hope some of you are excited to get something as rare as these guys. :)

Available on Monday with King the 100t. $25 + shipping each

Super Rare Kinkeshi - King the 100t (キング・ザ・100トン)

Earlier in the month I went in on a huge lot of mixed keshi with a friend. I initially was going in on the lot myself but realized I wasnt going to win the lot as I was out bid as soon as I did bid. After some bewildering thoughts I took a good look in the lot and spotted something magical and awesome, A super rare Kinkeshi of King the 100t (キング・ザ・100トン). I went and messaged one friends right away NAMA NIKU, to share in the joy of finding the cool ass figure. Needless to say we knew the lot was gonna go for a lot (although we hoped it didnt), so I went to another friend who had been looking for a Super Rare figure to buy. He was on board and we shared winning this huge lot, which came out to around $1200, not bad since we split the price and he got the Super Rare and I got all the other keshi (23lbs). It included a lot of Neclos, Dragon ball Z, Street Fighter, Kinkeshi, and SD Gundam. :)

So now on to the best part, my friend was willing to let me cast up the figure to spread the love out to other kinkeshi lovers, who like most, wouldnt be able to own a real one since these pull a premium price of around $800-$1000+ each. I will be adding them to my store at the beginning of the month, so keep an eye out.

Chase figures will be available as well 1:10 - As Glow, Thermal and Metallic. All supplied by the best Dusts in the business. SOLARCOLORDUST.COM

Super Mario Keshi

Mario keshi is a love of mine so I thought I would share some pics of my Mario keshi shelf. Not my whole collection but what I could fit on the one shelf. haha
It consists of a handful of different series', Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario Land, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, and a few misc Nintendo sets.

**Note: None are for sale or trade**

Street Fighter and Fatal Fury Keshi

 I've been a huge fan of Street Fighter ever since I was in 5th grade in 1991 and put my first quarter in a Street Fighter 2 arcade machine. At one point or another i've owned every Street Fighter game across many consoles, and since that I am a huge Keshi fan its a given that I would collect these figures.

Standard size keshi

  

 SD size Keshi

 After Street Fighter was a huge hit there had to be many copy-cats to jump at the chance to release their own 1-on-1 Fighting game. Fatal Fury was one to pop up that I loved just the same as Street Fighter. 

Here are some SD Fatal Fury Keshi

Neclos Fortress Keshi

I collect many different keshi lines and one that has been getting my attention recently is Neclos (Nekurosu) Fortress.  I find the majority of the figures to be awesome, a very nice mix of Yokai monsters and just creepy beasts. The colors in this line are amazing in person, some even color change. I just wish these were more easy to come by, other than on YAJ. ;)

If you have any for sale or trade hit me up, i'm always willing to make a deal. :)

Slight Addiction (Keshi Madness)

So, aside from sculpting and casting my own rubber figures... I can admit it, I am addicted to Japanese Rubber figures (or Keshi as they are know in the community). I buy from Yahoo Auctions Japan (YAJ) on a regular basis, mostly looking for specific Keshi to finish off a few of my collections. Now to share...

Here are a few  auctions I've recently won.

First are Kōryū Densetsu Villgust (just known as Villgust) Keshi. I love the monsters in this line, some are just straight up badass and creepy. Love it~!

 Here are some ZOIDS Keshi mixed in with some whatever dino skeletons. I loved the original ZOIDS when I was a kid, never got into the new ones. As soon as I found out they had Keshi counterparts, I had to get some.

 This I bought by mistake, I thought it was a Capsule Macross Kit (I have a couple and love them) but after I bought this I realized it wasnt Macross, but Gundam. Still cool, just not my thing. Got a good price for it, so I can't complain. :)

 Here are some of my favorite Keshi, Neclos (Necros) Fortress. Full of all sorts of monsters and Yokai.  These usually go for a pretty penny, but I scored this small lot pretty cheap. The colors that a lot of these come in I've never even seen in any other Keshi line. They even have color change and G.I.T.D. figures. Sweet~!

Definitely a nice lot to add to my collection. :)

 The next photos consist of... I'm sure you can guess, Street Fighter Keshi~! I just recently got into these. I have a handful of the US bootleg ones sold in capsules here in a weird white/tan color with a slight paint app that came in a couple colors. Not the best, but these Original Keshi are awesome. They come in a wide variety of colors, much more appealing than the US boots I was used to. In these pics you can see a few different series. A normal size and a SD size (plus a couple oddball sized ones). I love them both and hopefully can get a full set soon enough.

Hope you enjoyed looking at my latest Keshi score, I will definitely have more to come, so keep checking back.
