 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database
These are fucking wild. I had no idea they were so huge, either. That definitely makes me want one even more now.
I take back what I said about this being the #2 Shikaruna sculpt -- It's going to be hard to top this as #1 for me.

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database
I think I like this guy better than the two-headed bemon monster. Maybe not a fair comparison but for sheer monster-ness and size this guy really is outstanding.

You manage to get 20 of them? Are they still readily available in Tokyo? I'l be heading to Osaka year end. Hopefully can pick up some before I need to buy off the 2nd market. I'll definitely shoot you an email too. Sk's not slowing down and I'm hooked and I can't get out.

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database
The funny thing is, they are not that readily available in Tokyo anymore. After seacrching for a couple of days for just one, Glenn happened upon one little case in a shop that had nearly one of every mini at or below cost. And Glenn just bought them all.

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database
there were still a handful around after I left. I still can't get over the 4 armed Zag, it is an eight piece vinyl standing only three inches tall. If Super7 made something that complicated we would have to sell it for huge money.
When we were at the store Josh and I were nosing around trying to uncover the secret at it turns out they keep the price down by doing most of the labor intensive work themselves. We saw huge bags of flash tucked in the corner behind all the painting gear. Talk about DIY!

I tried to go to the SK shop 3 times when I was in Tokyo and it was shut all 3 times- 1 time all the paint stuff was even left outside, looked like a skittles advert- Taste the rainbow. Wish it would have been open!

If i was ever to walk into the shikaruna shop in Japan... I'm sure i would be struck with a sudden case of stendhal syndrome.
