Got these pics from the man himself Daigo Murata at Kaiju Taro as they were checking out all the Japanese Vinyl yumminess at the World Character Convention in Japan a few days ago. All I know is that there is a lot of stuff that I want! Couple of highlights and lowlights: Highlights would have to include the Gotchamon Collaboration Mini Figure set that will be released on December 23rd. Datadub reports that there will be 1,000 figures total with only 10 of each figure painted. The rest will either be clear red or clear red with glitter. Click on each figure HERE to see the clear red and glitter variants.
Other highlights would be a strong showing from Real x Head which released it's "Slime" green set as well as a very interesting clear with gold and frost highlights!!
This Slime Green set reminds me of my mother's Jade. It will be available at Super 7 here in the states, but can also be found now on eBay and Yahoo! Japan Auctions quite readily.
Lowlights would have to include this crazy story from Alice about these professional "Flippers" that hire homeless people to wait in line to buy rare toys! They do this because you can only get one figure per person. In this picture, you see the Flipper Master show pictures of which figure the homeless guy needs to buy! How insane these homeless guys must think that they are getting paid to stand in line to buy a toy that costs about the same as a week's worth of food for them! Check out the rest of the pics and the story over at Skullbrain
