Top 5 Toys of 2015 - Beukhoven Sloopwerk

Beukhoven is back (check out his first post here) to share his Top 5 pickups from 2015. The majority of these were purchases he was able to make in person during a trip to Japan last year - toy shopping oversea is dangerous business!!

5) Bukiminda by Elegab

"I found this Bukiminda in a well hidden toyshop near Nakano station in Tokyo. Hadn't seen the design before but loved it at first sight!"

4) Kingyozaurus by Yamomark (Super Festival 2015)

"I'm a big fan of the Kingyozaurus design by Yamomark and could not resist when I saw the monster in this fantastic Super Fest January 2015 colorway."

3) OG-AT + Kuramahoushi set by Dr Mirock

"In my first post last year, this release of Devil Man by RealxHead and Mirock was my No.1 pick. Not surprisingly, Dr. Mirock's 2015 toy releases awed me again and I was lucky I could lay my hands on this beautiful set."

2) Zanga by Max Toy Co

"Grail time!!! A few days after meeting Mark Nagata in person at Design Festa 42 I found this beast in a toyshop in Osaka. To me this is the Max Toy Co flagship. A clear one is still on my wantlist but waiting for it isn't hard with this beast of glowing vinyl by my side."

1) Zagoran by Gargamel (Guumon custom 2015)

"In April of this year, just before ToyCon UK, Brian 'Guumon' Mahony stayed at our house and I asked him to customize this Zagoran by Gargamel. Only condition was that he had to apply his trademark colorway. He succeeded and created my No.1 piece of 2015."
