236 PHYSICAL FIGURES · FRONT, BACK, AND SIDE PHOTOGRAPHY

A labor of tiny pink love

In 2023, deep in the crypto winter, I decided to complete the collection and make the high-quality image archive I had always wanted to see.

Collecting all 236

I started with roughly fifteen figures and focused on the original pink — or “flesh” — color I remembered from childhood. A community checklist, months of searching, and a wall full of taped-up arrivals turned the incomplete childhood set into a full collection.

The final piece

The last missing official figure was #236, Satan's Cross. Winning that auction completed a six-month project and a childhood dream — and gave this archive its full 1-through-236 shape.

The photography

Photographer Marques Creative and I spent a full day making careful product photographs of every figure from the front, back, and sides. Those images power both the gallery and the deep-zoom Explore mode.

The results belong in the collector record

The source images are enormous, and the web versions are served in several sizes plus tiled deep zoom. A community download remains available through the original Dropbox archive.
