Japan Big Beetle Series - Subarudo, Tomy, T-Arts and Others

[bmathison1972]

I am just now seeing this thread. I have the Sabuardo beetles and some Takaras that are similar. While I am starting to hold off on collecting all these variations of the same large scarabaeoid beetles, I'd be very interested in the wasp and cerambycid beetles!

Just finding this. Must have. Even if I choose to get one per month or something. Where do I go to buy these?

Occasionally on ebay. But I'd recommend you might send a pm to blackdanter (who started this thread) first. I've got mine through him and I'm still very happy about the deal but of course I don't know if he still has any left. But it's definitely worth a try.

(sorry if I am necro-ing this thread)
these are very lovely, and the fold out wings really do make them rather unique from what I've seen

may I ask how the material is? are they like the Tomy crabs or are they softer material (since, moving parts)?

well, I posted this almost one year ago and I received the wasp and cerambycid this week
