Came across this on Marmits blog. Though I would share. Don't know if its new, but its new to me. http://1ban-boshi.com/
That Baltan was made by Bandai in the 80's. If you ask me, its the best figure they ever did. The sculpt is KILLER and its ridiculously big. Much, much love for that Baltan.
ichibanboshi seriously took me about 3 hours to find. it turned out the owner had parked his van in front of the store and i kept missing it, i must have walked past it at least 5 times.
Remind of the time I was Shinjuku. I was thinking, damn there's a lot of Kinokuniya in Shinjuku. Turn out I was passing the same store 3 times.
When his blinds are up there is nothing at all to suggest the shop is there (except plain shop blinds). No signs or anything, and its on a residential street.
