Post Modest Haul From Japan
Just came back from my trip... it was a trip to see some of the stores in Tokyo. By far the most fascinating was Nakano... with 3 (or 4?) stories of toy goodies. Didn't have any AMAZING finds, but it was still fun to browse (and I also saved my Dr. Pepper can with a Rockin JellyBean illustration)... and i did get asssed out w/ the dissected kaws :( oh well. still had fun and survived eating some fugu.

oh yeah, also had to buy the single of "Won't Be Long" by Exile and Koda Kumi after getting the song stuck in my head after seeing their advertising in Harajuku

yeah, it's solar powered and the mushroom wobble spins... it's actually supposed to be for prizes when you play those games with the claw... but I was too impatient to win one so I bought it when I saw it at superpotato

I didn't buy many glow figures this time, but many M1 figures which is what I primarily collect now. I did get a small glow ultraman keychain. It might be hard to see in the photo since it's still in a little bag.[/url]
