Glad I got to see it.

That's sad. I'm really glad to hear that he'll continue to make toys though. |

Man, that sucks! I'm glad he'll still be making toys "for awhile" anyway. On a side note, how strange must it be to see Mr. RM painting toys while rocking out to Doo Wop? I never would have guessed he was a "cousin". |

I wonder what his other business is? I also wonder where all the toys ended up? I know sometimes stuff like this has to happen, and can end up being for the better, but I still never like to see good things end

This is sad. I made it to his shop 3 months ago, in December 2008. He was painting the mini final hedorah. Wish him all the best. |

Everybody knows the only music to rock out to when painting figures is Judas Priest. |

This is sad news although I would probably not be making it over to Japan anytime in the near future. It's great news he will still be carrying on making toys. The mini matango is one of my favorites. Now only if he can discover a box of rarer matango hidden in the back somewhere.......(wishful thinking) |

Did anyone notice the online shop has also closed for good? Even though they didn't do international orders it was still nice to browse there. |

I haven't talked to anyone about here so I am gonna ask around and see if he will still make toys or has he given up completely. The site is still there so that's a good sign though. |

Very sad news. Such a great store. This is the first time i've seen this post. Here are some photos i took of the store last year. Including one of Kageaki San in front of the Charactic's release cabinet.
