Japan: August 2008 Archives

The more I see of Revoltech good's the more I just want to buy.

This super kawaii froggy is poseable, and comes with extra heads for more expression.



Ricky is too cute for words!

Available for Pre-order at J-list for just $22.00.

Three new sets of Pinky Street are now available through our friends at J-List!

Named only 19, 20 and 21 - three very cute sets of figures with prices to match!

The problem with being enamoured with Japan and with toys, is that you keep finding more and more things to spend your hard earned money on.

For me, I find more things I love than I actually have the income to support.

Today, its Shiki Ryougi - the upcoming 1/7^th scale figma from Good Smile Co.


At first it was her beautiful obi that caught my attention, but as I looked at her more, her feet, and the amazing design of her kimono stood out.

Shiki Ryougi will be $75.00 and is available now for Pre-Order at J-list.

I fell in love with Yoko the moment I saw her. There are three in the series, and this is the first.

Every time I visit Japan, I stock up on the amazing selection of lollies and gum. (Candy or sweets in other countries).

I simply cannot get enough of the amazing flavour and kawai packaging that Japanese sweets have. Sure, some are made in Korea, but they are all to be found in Japan.

So let's go on a magical lolly shopping trip to Japan:
