The Nerdstrom Collection, Pt. 15: more mini magic from hustle55goodjob

Very happy to be welcoming another wonderful hustle55goodjob custom Gara-mini into the collection... this surly lil' sucker brings the smiles!

WANTED: Banpresto Garamon mini




This seemingly obscure mini (my sources say it's by Banpresto, and about 4" tall) popped up on YJP early in September.  I missed it (drat!), and really want badly to find one for the Nerdstrom Collection.



There's one of these enigmatic lil' suckers in the wonderful collection shot below (circled), taken from here:

If any Garamaniac out there has a lead, I'd sure love it if you got in touch!

The Nerdstrom Collection, Pt. 4

Well, the custom mini-dioramas which I snagged on YJA (mentioned in an earlier post) finally arrived in the mail yesterday…and I can let you know right off the bat that they are two of the most special pieces I’ve had the pleasure of adding to the collection. These are just so much damn fun; the love and care that went into making them shines through. The alterations to the figures used (some fairly extensive repositioning/puttying/repainting) were flawlessly executed; the diorama props employed are top-notch; and the whimsically comic situations they depict are quite inspired. My heartfelt thanks go out to the seller/creator for offering them up!

I realized once I got them in-hand that I probably wouldn’t take better pics of them than the seller used in the auction, so here you go (click the pics- it's worth it to have a look at the bigger versions):
