"Yawaraka Sensha" (or "Soft Combat Vehicle"). Apparently number one in the current Japanese 'Entertainment Chart' according to an internet poll published in my newspaper today, although I have to admit to never having heard of it before. Candy toys: http://i70.photobucket.com/alb...

Manko. Mmm ... manko! Try asking the waitress to show you her 'manko' next time YOU visit a Sushi shop! Similar in taste to toro, young manko is the best. Mature manko is sometimes a little dry. Try asking for "Wakai no manko kudasai!", ("Young manko please!"). Or "Furui no...

Can anyone clarify the difference between Rumble Monsters Pharoas GL-GR and GL-GR' ? There's no indication on the figure or the header cards. I've read that there is (quote) "some difference in the paint", but what exactly? Even the sellers on YJA don't seem sure which one they've got some...

'Kaiju for Twinkies' or not, I think this is great!
And if they can make Gamagon holding a little plane,
why not Usagi-don holding a giant doobie?
Maybe there'll be an expansion kit, with smokes AND turds!
Anyway, where do I sign?

The Red Chrome set sold for 15000yen at the shop.
I didn't count, but there looked to be quite a lot of them.
Don't know if they sold out ...
I didn't get one. Too rich for me.

I know that at Mandarake in Japan they have a full size fiberglass version with light up eyes. My friends brought back a pic! Sorry to drag up an old thread, but this is the one Paul's talking about: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i85/Aliceshouse/060105_164701.jpg Think they sold it now.

Title of this exhibition is 'Duramatic'. 'Dura' is slang for 'wig' in Japanese in much the same way as 'rug' is in English, and it's a pun on 'Dramatic'. There is some connection with his collaboration on a friend's recent movie "Dura Deka", or "Rug Cop" (I gather the hero uses h...

No hate here ... only LURVE ...
Seriously though, the Black Anarchy [expletive deleted] is one of my favorite pieces ever.
It was, and remains, a centerpiece of my entire collection.
But "Kaiju For Grown-Ups" ???
Do me a favor. That's just insulting ...
