Tokyo Hunter Collection 2008
Here's a look at my collection as of 7/7/2008. Toy shelves are totally packed compared to last year. I still got more in storage! ^^; I'll probably run out of shelf space after buying the WonderFest 2008 Summer exclusives to add to my collection. Guess it's time to hit IKEA and get new toy shelves!
I'm cutting down on the toy lines I collect now and focus mostly on S.I.C. figures, Transformers Masterpiece, and some PVC figures, figmas, and Nendoroids that I really like.
Although I do own a complete Garo toy collection, these are the few that I plan to keep and the rest (along with extras of some of the figures) are currently in storage, waiting to be sent off to loving homes. Growing S.I.C. collection and lacking shelf space means I need to get rid of some of the stuff in my collection. I'll be listing them up for sale in the near future. Contact me if you're interested in any of the Garo figures.
Kamen Rider #1 riding on Cyclone over a pile of Kaijin corpses!
S.I.C. Kamen Rider Amazon & Jungler. My favorite Rider & bike set thus far! Got this upon release and finally brough it with me to Japan after returning home for Chinese New Year celebration this year.
This black Kikaider trading figure was a secret in the first volume of S.I.C. Takumi Damashii series. Currently going for around 3,000-4,000 yen at the hobby shops in Akihabara!
My small collection of signed figures mixed with miscellaneous stuff. Garo signed by director Keita Amemiya, Action Works Gavan signed by actor Kenji Ohba, and Voice I-doll Asuka signed by voice actress Yuuko Miyamura.
S.I.C. Kamen Rider 555 collection. Can't wait till they do Riotrooper, Psyga, and Orga!
I remembered paying 10,000 yen for S.I.C. Shadow Moon after it was released and immediately sold out everywhere. Won an auction for it and it was just 1 week later after I received the figure that a reissue for the figure was annouced to come out in a few months. ^^; I just could not wait to get my hands on the S.I.C. version of my favorite Kamen Rider villain of all time. Well, it was an exciting feeling to finally got the figure though.
GFF Shin Musha Gundam and Kiba-Musha Den figures at the back. Gotta make time to build the MG Shin Musha Gundam kit.
My small collection of old Playmates Earthworm Jim figures. I got an extra Earthworm Jim figure to repaint based on the shaded 2D artwork on the packaging. I'm still looking for Bob the Killer Goldfish & #4 set.
Poor Densuke gets violated by Shiro!
Toys soon to be piled up to the ceiling if I don't start looking for new shelves soon. I need to arrange a weekend to open up all those toys, too. They need to breathe!
S.I.C. exclusives. Pre-Amazon signed by sculptor Takayuki Takeya!
Every otaku must have a Mina Tsukishiro in their collection! ^_~
Project BM! Kamen Rider Kabuto and signed figures. TheBee signed by actor Masato Uchiyama, Gatack signed by actor Tomohito Sato, and Man Chrysalis figures signed by sculptor Yasushi Nirasawa.
More games I can't finish and lots more coming! Gah~! O_O
Mix of kits, trading figures, and magazine freebies. I seriously need to start scheduling long evenings to build these kits. Still more stored in boxes.
Man, the Rider Mask Displays sure do take up a lot of shelf space! More masks to be released in the coming months! Where's my Kamen Rider Black and Kamen Rider Kiva masks?!

Tokyo Hunter Collection 2007
I've been waiting for the right day to post pics of my collection and to actually have the time to post and write about it ... and today's that day ... posting them up in celebration of the 2nd anniversary of Tokyo Hunter blog!
There will be two special postings today. First post (this one) is of pics of my collection that was taken right before the move in November 2007 from my old place in Tatebayashi to my current apartment in Sano city, Tochigi prefecture. You'll be able to see just how much my humble little collection has grow (and shrunk in some of the series I collect! ^^;) after I put up my second posting of the day of my current collection. I've been asked many times what the Hunter collects. Well, check out the pics below to find out!
I'm a tokusatsu guy who mainly collects S.I.C. figures along with some Gundam kits & action figures, Transformers, and some PVC figures on the side.
Big Garo figure on the left was signed by director Keita Amemiya, and two sections of the shelf devoted to Kamen Rider 555 and Kamen Rider Black figures. I grew up watching Kamen Rider Black, and Kamen Rider 555 got me started collecting Kamen Rider toys.
Figures of one of my favorite Kamen Rider shows of all time on the top two sections. It's a mix of the S.I.C. Kamen Rider Blade figures and MegaHouse Art Works Undead Monsters. S.I.C. Kamen Rider Hibiki figures on the lower left and S.I.C. Kamen Rider Ryuki figures on the lower right. Not a big fan of both shows but I still collect the figures anyway because the S.I.C. versions look way better than the original show designs.
More S.I.C. figures and the first three figures from Bandai's Lord of Bystonwell series. I was hoping to see more of Takayuki Takeya's works in the Lord of Bystonwell series but too bad it didn't fair well in sales and Bandai had to put the series to an end after Leprechaun.
Final Fantasy figures with more in storage. ^^;
Square Enix Sora figures from Kingdom Hearts II and NECA Jack Skellington in the back. I had all Sora's six forms at the time. Three shown here and three others in a separate room that I hadn't got the time to open them up. Kingdom Hearts II was a blast to play and I'm really hoping that Square Enix will announce a third game in the upcoming Tokyo Game Show in October. Fingers crossed!
Another shelf 'o toys. A mix of toy lines from Kamen Rider Kabuto figures to Garo Equip & Prop series, Street Fighter, and Revoltech figures.
Shelf for Banpresto's Rider Mask Display series, S.I.C. Takumi Damashii, Trigun and other trading figures and miscellaneous stuff.
Games, piggy bank, One Piece trading figures, and more S.I.C. Takumi Damashii trading figures. The only games I fiished playing were Black & White 2, Resistance: Fall of Man, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and New Super Mario Bros. I don't think I'll ever have time to finish the rest, especially The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion!
Miscellaneous stuff, mostly unopened, in one corner of my bedroom.
And finally, an IKEA Detolf shelf packed with Transformers! Got the Sports Label Nike Free Convoy & Megatron but missed out on Ultra Magnus at the time. I managed to get Ultra Magnus through a good friend of mine. Now where's my transforming socks?! ^^ I'm still thinking if I should put the Soundwave MP3 player and Frenzy & Rumble earphones to use or get an iPod nano ...
