I got the last (and main) box of Japan goodness in the mail yesterday. Before anything else, I have to say a HUGE thank-you to Isaac for helping me out. I left the important part of what I picked up in Tokyo (and a little S7 buy up) at the Super7 store when I hit SF for Isaac to send on home for me. Seriously, Isaac went above and beyond on this for me in what was basically a favour. Not to mention thanks for letting me roam about the stores while you and Josh were setting up for the grand opening. I only had one day to visit the store, so cheers again for the both of you. I really appreciate it. Anyway, the stash: The uncovered bits and bobs: SB Suits: 3 Devil Phantoms (Completing my set), a Toxic Phantom and 2 Phantom 8 Man suits. My visit to Gargamel got me these: Cyclovillain and Sharkman 12" from SB store. New but unboxed. Misc. stuff picked up at Nakano, SB, Mandarake and S7. The bulk of the toy buy up including the RAH220's I sent on from Japan. Not to mention this little guy: Nothing too exotic, but certainly some keen pieces for my collection.
love the last piece!! i don't know what to call him... are you having "where do i put all this shit?" anxiety yet?
I had no room at all for anything new before I went away. Not I got this!!! And no...no one can "look after" anything til I find room. I have no idea who the last little guy is. Paul has one similar that I thought was cool so when I saw this little guy it was a must have.
sub says its a yokai monster?? he has one... abura sumashi?? his flickr: http://flickr.com/photos/subterranean/104442760/
Cheers for the link Jackie. Like SubT said, they aren't that scarce. There were a few at the store I got mine from as well as others from the series of figures mine is from. He must be from a blind box or capsule machine set. I know there are other versions of this character. Paul has a different one with more articulation. Definitely a cool guy.
im glad to see everything got to you in one piece! it always makes me a little nervous sending huge boxes full of toys like that. it was cool meeting you at the store, and fun to check out and pack up your stuff. *sigh* so many amazing pieces slip right through my fingers....
Ah, cheers Josh. Thanks for doing such a bang up job on the packing and sending. It was damn fine work!!
Moriachi, do you mean you bought these from Japan and got them sent back by the help of Issac? Can I ask, what's the damage for the stash?
Mori, a fantastic haul! Especially impressed with all those 12" suits, and glad to see u scored a cocobat Joe SB suit.
Thanks everyone! KClam - I took the bulk of the stash with me to San Francisco as that was the next stop on the world tour and asked Isaac to send them on home for me as I still had 3 weeks of traveling at the time. As for all up, don't know really. A lot and I hate to think just how much. Maybe $750 US at least I would guess. Muton - The Cocobat Joe suit was one of my main wants when I headed over. The FC version was sold out, but SB still had the regular one. Not sure what the difference is between them. I did get a little TShirt with the suit though. Looks like it might fit a 12" body. I could have picked up a couple more SB suits too, but drew the line. Had to at some point!!
great post mori and like jackie...i want one of those last little guys now too. like jackie said...patience...patience. great stuff...enjoy.
Cheers again everyone. It was fun to buy and fun to unpack! Muton - found out last night that the gloves and boots on the Cocobat Joe SB suit actually glow. Didn't know that at all. Great suit. I have it suited up on a Henshin with his t-shirt on under his armour. Very weekend stylin.
do alot of japan toy shops have "display only" not for sale cabinets?? I keep hearing all the good stuffs gone - but you got yerself a nice little haul there
