As the title suggests, this is going to be a big list o gallery sites. It's not going to start very big, but it'll grow over time. I'll update this post whenever I find a new site, or links to one are posted in here.

Image Boards
http://f59.aaa.livedoor.jp/~tfup/custom/imgboardphp/futaba.htm Livedoor TF Customs Image board.
http://f59.aaa.livedoor.jp/~tfdb/tfmoe/imgboard.cgi Livedoor TF artwork Image Board.

General Toy galleries
http://www.geocities.jp/hetare_d_max/ Lots and lots of stuff. Mainly robots and superheroes.
http://hollowme.com/top.html Some really nice stuff. Not entirely sure if any are customs.
http://members9.tsukaeru.net/ty1_toys/index.html All robots all the time!
http://www.tfkenkon.com Remy. What more can I say?

Custom galleries
http://pcwr.kt.fc2.com/ Freestyle, the "Japanese TFMaster" as some call him.
http://www4.airnet.ne.jp/optune/top.htm Some rather odd customs. Very nice.
http://jizaitoys.seesaa.net/ A very good Japanese kitbasher. Almost entirely scratch-built stuff, including the best Cyclonus and Weelie you will ever see.

while working my way through those pages, I found this masked rider one:
http://hollowme.com/hh555.html
and it reminded me about that motorcycle transformer, there were bootlegs of it floating aroud ebay about a year ago, but in those pics, there apears to be a different version of that cycle, dark gray with more detail instead of bright silver. In the pics a couple above it, it shows four versions of the Rider character, one also in dark gray, more detail. Maybe these two are from a movie or something? Anyways, what I'm wondering is does that other darker cycle still transform? If so, I may need to track one down and bash it. Anyone have the actual name of the cycle and what series it was from?

sorry for the double post, but now I found this Third version of that bike guy. This one is a different scale, and comes in chrome.

And here's the original version of him:
http://members9.tsukaeru.net/ty1_toys/gattai/bajin_EX.htm

*edit- after looking at those pics closer, I don't think the smaller one transforms, so he's out.

*edit again- After searching on ebay I stumbled across that dark bike that does transform. The name of this guy is Auto Vajin and he runs atleast $70 plus shipping. The name of the regular version of him is Autovajin, all one word, and he runs atleast $25 plus shipping.

Oh, and while searching I found a crystal/clear version of Autovajin. Both these two are awsome looking molds.

Yes, they are Masked Rider figs. He rides them. Not sure about the difference between the two. I think the darker more expensive one is probubly from a movie, where as the other is from the series. Oh, and I didn't mention it before, but those prices are for a two pack, Rider and BikeBot.

by **Gryphman** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 3:15 pm

I've known about those for awhile. Auto Vaijin is from Kamen Rider 555 (pronounced Faiz or Faizu).

by **jimsloth** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 5:38 pm

YES, found it! Here is a link to an almost extinct Japanese fan made toy page. I think I'll go ahead and save a copy of every image from this page since it hasn't been updated in a few years and some of the links to find it are dead. Who knows how much longer it will be online.

edit- ok, that was just part of it, here's the homepage:

I wasn't thinking about it before, but now's as good a time as any.

Don't post links to a specific galelery here. Just the site itself. If there's something particular you want to show, start a thread about it. That's what this forum is for.

How about:

http://www.seibertron.com

And then go to the top and click on pics, then toy galleries.

There's this:

transformers.hp.infoseek.co.jp/cgi-bin/imgboard.cgi

It's an image board of TF stuff in general, and sometimes there are posts of custom transformations, which people here can draw ideas from.

damn, how do you save images from that site? I'm not sure where FireFox caches it's images, and copying the image and saving in photoshop makes large files...

by **piranacon** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 12:11 pm

cant you right click and "save as" if not try FILE> "savepage as"

did you even try it? they have something set up so that you can't do that. neither of those methods work. it keeps saying the website is not available. and it's not a connection problem, because it will load a picture the very next second, but won't let you save anything.

by **gawd6sic6** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 1:09 am

will be a pain in the ass. but save the page so its offline. then save the pics....

by **Gryphman** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 4:26 am

Here's an easier solution of you're using Firefox.

Right click (not on the pic) and select "view page info." After that, you select the "media" tab and scroll through the items untill you find the pic. Click "save as" and you're done.

I know it works, I just did it a moment ago.

by **piranacon** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 11:32 am

ive not had a problem right clicking the image and going save as

the g1 unicron looks pritty cool though, and love one of the sharkticons

.... why doesn't it work for me? it gives me the SAME error, as if I were just right-clicking on the image on the page. "the web page might have been removed or had it's name changed". all the other pictures on that page save fine. It's specifically the gallery images that are protected.

by **Hobbyist Prime** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 3:56 pm

I'm running firefox and I just right click a pic and select "save image as" and there it is on my harddrive! Are you looking for a specific picture? I could probably get them and then email them to you!
