^^ Thanks mate, every photo i've seen of this set has the same writing and panda drawing. It seems quite unusual for Bear Model . . . . . . I've never seen a BM header written-on with a marker like this for any other release. Has anyone else? |

The top seems to say Arigatougozaimasu (Thanks very much). On your header it's hard to read but I have seen other heads with clearer kana that say arigatougozaimasu. Some say arigatougozaimasu and others say omedetougozaimasu (congratulations). The kana on the left ペコリ (pekori) isn't even an actual word but a sound motion used to bow forward. Then follow by (( is to show the Panda in motion of bowing. I don't know the meaning of the number 31. Then it's follow by what appears to be katakana for ケ (ke) and then hiragana め (me). So ke-me, seperate words I believe or they would have been the same kana. I'm sure some here who is more natural at Japanese can correctly translate. |

Perhaps the 31 signifies the run number of this set . . . . or maybe not. Maybe it was a festival-only release. |

And there was another I found that had 2-12 on the header when I seached on yahoo.jp images. So confusing.

^^ Ah, thanks for that. I've noticed Bad Seed Jovenes's header on Flickr has 43 on it. So possibly the number is the edition number of however many were made . . . . (i will choose to ignore the 2-12 anomaly). |

I think you're right. め is usually used as a counter, and the katakana ケ is also often used as a counting word. So it probably means "of 31" or "number 31". |

I missed the discussion on this header earlier, but I think I do recall seeing another toy with similar artwork on it, though I could be confusing it for just another of these sets. I will have to do some more digging to see if I can find some examples. The '31' could refer to the number of the festival, e.g. 'Superfestival 31' perhaps. In any case though, that is such a lovely set indeed. The colours used on both figures are fantastic, and the sculpts are some of the best of each of the respective characters. Congrats to you on acquiring the gem of a pair! Pretty jealous (more just happy though) in an increasingly growing fashion of you Bearmodel family!
