Japanese Toys & Comics With Dinosaurs For Good Measure
Back in 2005, I was just getting into the importing of Japanese toys scene beginning with my favorite series, Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger which was based around dinosaur mecha. I then found out that the American counterparts to the toys underwent sometimes drastic changes leading to a loss in quality of paint and plastic and just overall not as good as the standard of toys from Japan so I kept importing and also scoured eBAY and other websites to fill in holes in my collection. My favorite series remains that original one, Abaranger, since I love dinosaurs in general which you can see in my pictures, my collection of dinosaur models from the 80s series, Dino Rider, the Jurassic Park figures, and also the museum replicas from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. In addition, I've recently gotten back into Transformers along with efforts to maintain a sizable collection of Japanese manga and other unique toys. =)
