Post pictures of those knick knacks you got lying around the house. Yours are cooler than mine, I bet. Here's one I picked up at the Savers. Look at how determined he is to kick that ball with his fist all clenched!

Anna's got some weird old ceramic Asian girls (totally not dolls) and some metal elephant, all from her grandmother's collection. All I've got besides the vinyl toys is mugs/cups, I guess - but I have NOTHING on hateball  just 80's cartoons cups, comic movies cups, and Darth Vader mugs.

^^ Those tanuki are awesome! I knew about the shapeshifting tanuki from the book Yokai Attacks!, but I didn't know until now how widespread in Japan the figures of Tanuki were. RealxHead just revealed a new Tanuki mini that looks a lot like your ceramics. Andy posted about it on Kaiju Korner. Classic Maneki Neko, too. Nice stuff! |

I just want one from a closed restaurant or something, the ones who hold a beer. I'd like to stick a rootbeer in it's hand instead. |

I didn't know that Momoko was still around. I pass Asahi almost every day, but I haven't been in there in a long time. I'll check 'em out! |
