Super7/Japanese Vinyl

in the past year i got real close to and learned from the world known toy company Super7. there are 2 Super7 stores. one of course is the main headquarters in San Fransisco on the famous Haight street. the other is St. Petersburg, Florida- in walking distance from where i lived for a while. so i would of course stop by a lot. spend some money and be mentored by my friend and the owner of the store; Scott about the toy industry. there is a lot to learn. and the process of making Japanese vinyl is pretty amazing. Super7 specializes in Japanese vinyl monster toys. unlike the popular Chinese vinyl most people collect such as Munny's and Dunny's. my friends and i were lucky enough to share the store with local and world renowned artists from all around the world for an art show. check out our write up in Vinyle Pulse here. i think i mentioned the show when i was showing off my Lego art pieces... anyways- here are some of my favorite monsters sold by or made by Super7.

Garuru (i need* him!)

 Mummy Boy (i have this one. he glows in the dark :] )
 mini Dethra
 pocket Gargamel
PartyBall (named after a particle ball. that's why he has so many different elements of different monsters to him ad his body shape)

 Stereogon (check the 2 moving heads, plus the 2 eyes making a 3rd bigger monster. notice the bigger set of teeth? i love it)
