So did monster rancher really create miniatures of over 400 of their monsters? I mean, based on your collection I think the answer is yes. Thats wild. Did you hunt these down online, or in stores?

Naw, they mostly only made what you see here. I recently obtained the Phoenix figure since this photo, so I'm only missing the Ape and I'll have a full set.

I actually bought most of these in 1999-2000 when I was a kid. I got them from Walmart and KB Toys when I was like... 13? 14 years old? ish?

I also have a deck of playing cards, a couple official plushies, and a few other figures imported from Japan and I think Argentina. I'll get a pic of everything eventually, a lot of my things are still packed in boxes.

I have a green zuum that I got from a thrift store. Its in my 'miscellaneous dnd piece collection'. Monster rancher was part of my monster taming phase. Though, I'm still a HUGE digimon nerd, so I guess the phase never ended :)

Aw nice!!! I love how the zuums look in the anime; they're so chubby for absolutely no reason (bless!). I never thought about using the figures for dnd.

I loved Digimon as a kid, too, but MR was and still is my special interest. Do you like Gomamon, Gabumon, and Elecmon? I plan to draw them eventually, probably on stream.

I do!! My top 3 digimon are actually Gomamon, Gazimon, and Gabumon. Elecmon isnt my "top", but they are close. When do you think you might stream?

I'm going to be streaming on Saturdays in the next couple weeks. Once I have a solid date I'll announce it via journal and Twitter (@awfulgoat). The theme of each stream will also be announced ahead of time, whether it's a specific fandom, like Digimon, or a general category like 'obscure toons,' etc.

It's on Twitch.TV/GoatPaws, so once I'm affiliated I can do fun stuff like making a poll for the chat to decide which character to draw, too. It'll be a lot of fun, and once i get a better computer I'll stream games like Among Us and Phasmophobia during the week. It'll be a lot of fun!

I believe I will have to start using twitch then! Ill be on the lookout for future journals, or dm me when you pick a date!

Fantastic collection! The case you have the mini figures displays them so well :D

Hopefully you don't mind a bit of unsolicited advice, but I can't help but notice that one (or perhaps both, it's hard to tell by the photo) of your Hardee's Tiger figures have yellowing on the hind legs. This is exceptionally common with that figure, I'm 90% sure it's caused by the plasticizer evaporating/aging out.

I'd had little luck removing it from mine in the past, but oddly this year I used a bit of dial handsoap (It was 'white tea' scent, not sure if that makes a difference), rubbed it into the plastic of his legs, rinsed it off, then scrubbed the legs with a knit sweater. The yellowing came right out and he looks like new. Not sure if this will work on every copy of him with this particular aging problem, but it might be worth a try, as it's less invasive than other methods I know of to remove such staining from figures.

aah thank you! I got the case on Amazon recently and I'm super happy with it.

I got those guys on ebay and they were from a smoking home, unfortunately. I should try that method, though, maybe it'll help! Thank you for the advice!

That's an awesome collection.

Thank you!
