Neat! I love Flatwoods toys. Were there other aliens from that line? I haven't seen the Mothman, but I've seen a robotic guy packaged similarly. |

From the information I can gather, there were some large scale ones, like this one, and an alien that allegedly witnessed in Russia in Voronezh. The others seem to be smaller versions, I assume they were gashapons or something. Here are some interesting (and outdated) links: http://www.chocovader.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/astronit/424550752/ neato! |

Those are really, really cool. I always wondered where the large Bandai Flatwoods, etc. came from- I only saw the "3 Meter Alien" text on the box, but now I can see what looks like the Chocovader logo on the bottom left corner. Hmmm, time to get crackin' on YJA...

So whats the deal with YJA, I looked on there to see if I could register, and well, not being able to read or speak Japanese, well, you can see the problem I was facing! Do you buy on there??? Those cocovaders minis are awesome, and the 3 meter alien does pop up on Ebay from time to time

I (and many others here) use Celga (www.celga.com) with a Gold account to bid on YJA. They create the account for you and administer your purchases; you can request a shipment of your wins periodically. You can also request that they bid on specific auctions on your behalf (w/o a Gold account). Tread with caution- that truly will be the end of financial responsibility... |

The only thing I could figure out, is why the FWM looks like a cross between a lizard and a Dalek, with a leaf stuck behind his head....?

They're just starting out and they don't carry much, but they have them (possibly for preorder? not sure) for $10 and ship quickly from what I've heard. |
