Josh recently sent in this picture of his collection and a story to go with it. I'll let him do the talking: "Hey, I saw your site and thought it was really cool. I would also like to add my collection to your collection department. Now, keep in mind, IT IS NOTHING SPECIAL. I don't have the $ to buy these ultra-rare jumbo's but I do what I can. I'm basically fulfilling my childhood dream of of having all of the shogun warriors.. I first got Raydeen in '79 or '80 and I've spent the last couple of years tracking down the others. With the discovery of EBAY a few years ago I quickly finished my collection. I just recently acquired the elusive GOLDORAK... Now on to the big boys!" "I understand that this collection doesn't rank even close to most that I've seen, but it so so special to me. It represents my childhood - when all that it took was a flying fist or a launching missile to make everything all right. No matter how much I got picked on, my shogun was always there. I tore him apart, painted him, buried him in dirt and even froze him at one point. That raydeen is still around somewhere.. missing the horns, fists and bird launcher. All the lead has drained out of his feet because I used to drag him and wore out a hole. Paint form my "customizing" job flakes all over the place. But I loved him. And I always had that dream that one day I would own all of the shogun warriors. And here I am.." "That
was until I found out that they were part of a larger family...
Jumbo Machinders! I'm sure you know the rest of the story. |
