 Sofubi haul from Japan Trip!
 Here's what I picked up while in Japan the past 11 days, vinyl toy-wise. As an added bonus, I got home to be greeted by a veritable MVH Smorgasbord! Whoo! I move to a new apt in a week, so this stuff is all going back into bags until I get my display ready at the new place! Then there will be more/better pics. Japan was so much fun! So many toys!

 Re: Sofubi haul from Japan Trip!
Geat haul man, seems like you had particular success with lots of PK stuff. I am also so happy to see some of Jon's stuff being carried back to. What intrigues me the most is that unpainted Dorotabo - I don't go for blank toys so much usually, but leads me to very hopeful possibilities for further releases.

 Re: Sofubi haul from Japan Trip!
Yeah, I got lucky with Paul's release. I was there early @ Design Festa and I pulled a lucky draw @ Uamou for one of the few one offs! Dunno about the Dorotabo, like I said I was there early at Design Festa and of all the stuff Sunguts had out, this was the only blank he had. I super happy with everything, but specifically the AshuraMan and the Maqlosa- Thanks again Don!

 Re: Sofubi haul from Japan Trip!
Super Jealous of the Doji, and that Ashuraman. It looks like you picked up a really nice selection of Unpainteds. Hopefully we get to see you put out some wicked paintjobs.

 Re: Sofubi haul from Japan Trip!
Haha, yeah I paint... but much less now. I've learned to appreciate the blanks, and respect the toys I might have acetoned without a thought in the past.  That being said most all of this stuff will stay the way it is now.

 Re: Sofubi haul from Japan Trip!
Really nice haul  . . . . love that unpainted red Dorotabo. I'm thinking about visiting Tokyo for a 2 week stay in a year or so. Planning on leaving extra space in my baggage for Kaiju!

 Re: Sofubi haul from Japan Trip!
It's a Paul Kaiju custom, painted on a glitter-grey base. Beyond that I don't know much, It was a gift.

Planning on leaving extra space in my baggage for Kaiju!  Great, I hope you can go. 2 weeks is a good amount of time. And yeah we intentionally underpacked our luggage for extra space coming back.

I think you must have been at DF on Saturday? I'm going to have to start showing on Saturdays instead of Sundays. Seems that's when everyone comes out to play. Sorry to have missed you!
