I Binned this amazing Ultraman TAC suit also called, "Captain Tuck" I loved the color and wanted something different from the usual Joe stuff. It was amazing how cheap it was, considering that the suit was missing the black boots, gloves, belt, weapon, and white scarf. Still my Joe looks handsome! I am slowly getting into more Ultraman stuff for my Joe's...
Here is another pic, with my flocked hair Joe after his cleanup. He still has some marker residue on his chin, but he looks good. It's amazing that his joints are nice and tight, and I just needed to replace his left hand. He is wearing a Palitoy Actionman military uniform, that I found with him in the lot. He will need to be reflocked, but for now, he's just fine.
The guys are amazing and a great addition to my collection. considering most of it is girl stuff. It's nice to see something else for a change.... - ggsdolls
My recent Jestia Japan Female Hound finally arrives! Lately, I've been smitten by these cute Circus Toy dogs from the 1960's! I found my first hound through Etsy, and now I have the female version above that I got through ebay...
My first male hound above. He is a lot more minty than the female, but still its nice to have a set of these cuties...These are vintage sawdust-filled animals, sometimes known as "Perky Pets". The story goes that a Japanese company needed to fill up some boxes of ceramics with something that would protect them during shipping. So, they included a bunch of pin cushions that were in the shape of animals. The importers loved them and so they started making them just to sell. A common manufacturer was Dakin, who called them "Dream Pets" later on. Today, you can still find many variations of these lovely Jestia pets...I've seen orange colored hounds too!
Both the hounds above looking like a lovely couple... - ggsdolls
