    Japanese toy blogs make me wish I could read Japanese, but I can't. Am I correct in understanding that one can order this GID Yamazakura fortune cat directly from Yamazakura? I love its cubist/moderne vibe. Not sure if Yamazakura is willing to deal with international orders, though. Does anyone know?

    He calls it the Manryou Neko. I'm not sure what the meaning is, though- or what it has to do with the unusual face design.

    Y has told me in the past that he does not do int'l orders. That may have changed.

    Lulubell had these a little while ago. I'm sure they'll continue to get the new color ways as they're released.

    no probs, i was excited to finally order the GID. I had emailed yama zakura but heard nothing back.
    i guess he just bins any international requests . . . .

    just got the metallic blue/green that i pre-ordered today... took awhile but it's definitely a fun little figure, glad i grabbed one. original listing said 6inch, new listing says 3... it's actually 4 :lol:

    here's the pic from lulu, since the colors aren't showing correctly in the ones i took... guess i needed that orangey background ;)
