What is a Waterbear? I never heard of this before!
I always try to stress that even if Kinkeshi look filthy or dirty just give them a cleaning. Most can be saved or look as good as new after a cleaning with hot water, dish detergent and a sponge.
My dumba** threw a ton away my first year of collecting thinking they were ruined!

A thorough cleaning, you say? Preaching to the choir, dude; I've been restoring C4s to C8s for decades. A stiff brush, HOT water, soap, and elbow grease = from trash to treasure.

This Atlantean-looking guy holding a bazooka was covered in black and gray marks, thick grime, and his feet were initialed......no longer....

They'll obviously never be 100% again - I have no control over things like fading, slashes, and deep ink - but you really can bring a lot of these older guys back from the edge with a bit of effort.

Tremendous! Are you now moving to Sofubis? would those even classify as Sofubi? they look like it in the pic.
They are sofubi, and I buy vinyl from time to time, but I don't collect it.

Not little, but these guys are grails of mine!! Takara Donkey Kong Country baddies Klump and Krusha!
Ooooo, nice. They look like fantastic 80s bootlegs. Made of nice rubber/soft vinyl?

Just got yesterday from Ericnilla. The awesome custom MUSCLE THING, Mai Shiranui from King of Fighters/Fatal Fury, and a very generous load of substitute keshi for a little Sunshine that was out of stock. Thanks very much man!

I knew you would appreciate these guys eric! I wish I could get a hold of some keshi, but they're so darn expensive!
