Wow, is that an original Masudaya Bakura (Spectreman guy)? Looks like it, judging from the paint wear. Very cool.

Man! You guys in Japan are the luckiest bunch. Is it just me or there's been an unprecedented amount of cool stuff coming out lately. I've never been so broke.
Love that Spectreman Burcar especially this version with the face on the tummy. Have been looking out for this for the longest time. Is that a vintage or repro?

The "dinosaur spaceships" are Skylar and Nessar from Gaiking.

Why only two Ilanena minis? Where's the third?

The third Ilanena is hiding in the 3rd pic :)

Nice haul Josh!
The admiral pups, the Ilanenas and Hayabusa does it for me. Yuru-kyara banzai :mrgreen:

Nice treasure trove from Japan Josh! My faves are the starfish shocker, butanohana vacuum woman, and mr. snake hands. Great selection of minis.

Great stuff you picked up from Japan. It must be hard to "not go bananas" in Japan. It's hard enough to keep away from the computer looking at toys.

That was cool to watch Gizzy, thanks. So the monster in the commercial must be "dust monster"? After seeing that video I kinda wish the Butanohana figure had wings also. I'll still have my eye out for it nonetheless.

I guess it's only worth going if you're able to spend a "decent" amount of cash. Imagine walking around all the toy-stores with little to no money... frustration kicks in.

Yep that's the "dust monster" who's name is Gomira (Gomi=garbage in Japanese)
As far as I know the Butanohana Hayabusa does have (mini)wings

Its worth it just to look around and see all the wonderful stuff out there not to mention the country itself ^_^
But you just can't "have" everything you want, so there definitely is a decent amount of frustration hehe
Another frustrating thing is when your not in Tokyo and you see all the festivals and whatnot happening there and can't get to them is quite annoying as well :cry:
