Oh, you don't wanna see what's in the background...it'll break your damn heart!
...Or...your wallet--once you realize all the new things you never knew you needed!

"Gucci" isn't an official term....just one used to describe the black and metallic silver or gold paintjobs on a toy.

Wow! Sounds like there is interest here. That's great!
"really , whats not to love about giant robots ?"
That's what I'm saying. Come to think of it I will start a sofubi robot thread. Great idea VV!
As requsted, here are a couple of shots from my collection:
Not much space here in San Francisco so most of my collection is stored away...

That's it. You're not allowed to buy any toys when we're in Tokyo. You're hoarding them all.

C'mon Hill.. Can I have a few more? Please?
Seriously, I'm not even bringing an extra suitcase. I'm going with ol' standby EMS. Masato's going to bring me by some of those big boxes that one can store a small human in. Stoked!

Kimono My House has lots, but be prepared to pay the prices. There's alos a store in the mall in Japantown (right by the video/anime store) that has some overpriced Masudaya talker reissues.

Oh...I didn't even know that Kimono My House is still around. I know about the one in J-Town. I'll have to take a trip across the BBridge and see what they got at KMH. Everyone is usually a bit overpriced but it is always worth the look to see what they got.
