 Toy of the Year....
Here we are half way throught he year, and in my opinion tere have been some crackers in 08! I have 3 joint favorites-  This naughty little firm! Post your toy of the year at this point, it can be anything, wether you own it or not, in the case or not in the case of most RxH releases....

 Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check)....
Classic colorway, best accessory sculpt ever on the mask thanks to cure, cool rub paint job, best quality vinyl thanks to SB, great collaboration, was relatively easy to obtain stateside if you were on the ball and IMO the best plushie insert to date.

 Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check)....
I think it's easy to say that with all I've said about these 2, they are my favorite toys. Kappas are one of my favorite yokai characters and Eaton's concept is just way too awesome. If I had to pick one, I would pick Tokoji Seijin  ...in any colorway.

 Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check)....
Thanks. Logang1 actually spotted him first while we were in Nakano Broadway and pointed him out to me. I saw another one at the same store later in the week, so I think he should be fairly easy to find if anyone is in the area. Nakano is heavily stocked with little mini guys. I also like the little mini Woos as well. The Yamaton is another favorite of mine from this year.

So far this year, I think this is who all figures come to when they want to die.

I got to go with Paul on this one. Cure just smashes it. Plus they keep getting better. Paulkaiju wrote: So far this year, I think this is who all figures come to when they want to die.
