    I have space for one more.
    This Purple one looks like it might be it.

    Awesome display Joe! You should go for this new purple cat. This was my favorite color in the newest mini cats.

    I am going back and forth about whether or not to get this one... :?

    I would love a full size clear with just the eye and the writing on the coin painted.

    Definitely gonna get me one of these purple guys!

    In Chinese, it's "chao," which would in this case means "super," like Joe said.

    Seems for this use of the kanji, the transfer to Japanese was from the original Chinese, since chao --> jouyou in Japanese:

    For some reason it feels really early 90's to me, in a good way.

    I see Lulubell's listing this as 'Red Pearl',
    but it looks kinda orange to me ...
    Anyone confirm?

    Its just so simillar to the red cat in joes pic center, top row.. and for 80 squids?

    I agree. That one is just a regular red, instead of the pearl/sparkle that this one seems to have in it (just like pink, if you've seen that one). I'm still waiting on a milky or clear fullsize Fortune Cat :?
