Have you received a reply yet?

I ordered it. I receive the payment request the following day I placed the order.

same here, ordered and the payment request next day.

Did you use the form on the page or did you send an email?

Ditto, ordered and received the request next day.

I ordered via the form on the pre order page, it usually confirms your order as soon as you send it.

Thanks for the info. Well, no Maza for me it seems . . .

I would try emailing them. If you explain, I dont see why they wouldnt let you get one.

Thanks for the encouragement
Yep, I filled out the contact form again. Fingers crossed.



Again, no auto reply received . . .

It should be no problem getting it second hand in a few months.
Especially if it is a run equivalent to the previous green one. I think a lot of people bought it only as an exchange item or they thought it would be as priced as the lottery Mazas. They were dead wrong.

I just got my order confirmation.

congrats man!!!

...cant wait to see it in "your" hand.

That's nice they understood.

That Maza is so damn nice.. I was really tempted but one is enough for me.

Is it "they" ? Or is it one person that is behind Zollmen?
Zollmen is a ghost!

Project Zofbow is starting to turn into a color space of rot (thanks C.!).



Oh yeah, still looking for colors I don't have...

Here's something I've been curious about for a while:Lifted from Ralph's awesome early report.

Did the minis that came with the initial set of Fancy Toys - still blows my mind that everything seen above was part of a single release - come with subsequent individual releases of the characters? Obviously the puppy pilot was part of all of the Popys; but how about the finger puppets? Also, were the puppets hidden inside the bodies of the toys; or just bagged together with them?

I found their names on a blog:

クローバー、ポエム、パトラ - Clover, Poem and Patras? Does the pilot have a name?

I'm also wondering if the Gorubu riff came with anything fun...

...and what his 'proper' name is.

So many questions.

David, the three finger puppets were bagged together separately from the big ones. Good call on the names, never could find them myself.

These fancy toys are so much fun and were a big craze when they came out.

edit. I actually have a photo!

^ was that omake set actually gifted (as part of a larger purchase, prize, friends & family?), or were they sold?

^ The trio was given away to those that bought the original Fancy Toys set of four family members that is pictured above. Seems this was the only release of the puppets, but I'm awaiting confirmation.

Check this out if you want to read the traditional saga of suspicion turning into wild enthusiasm!

Thanks for the info and pic, Aldo! Anyone have answers or guesses as to my other questions?

This is correct, the mini puppet set only came with the original Fancy Toy release.

I don't think Gorubu came with any omake fun...

I can confirm, I used to have him. Actually not quite sure why I gave him away...

Here is the photo of my set when it arrived.
The minis have their names at the back. I could confirm them tonight if I don't forget or be to lazy looking.
