    Was this actually done in 2010? I thought it was a 2008 or 2009 one-off according to Hiddy's blog.

    yeah there's one with silver on white aswelll. But the one i'm referring to has the tattoo inverted in black...

    It's almost like they used the wrong Template (from the black version for instance) to apply the paint. I will make a picture off it tomorrow.

    My guess is that perhaps the ones released in this past New Year's Lucky Bags are the ones that have the reversed print. I have no proof at all but I know the original colour variants were re-released for the lucky bags. Perhaps they weren't rediscovered dead-stock from some box in the back corner of the storeroom.

    It is possible to read the script at the bottom once you learn how to read the Usugrow font.

    They are great people to deal with. You'd be amazed how small the shop is compared to the impact they've had on the Tokyo toy scene. Not much bigger than a rich person's walk-in-closet!

    I'm pretty sure this character was actually called Pon de Lion and the actual doughnut it was a character for was the Pon de Ring. A quick google image search using google.co.jp will bear this out.

    Unless I am mistaken these three Dai Kaiju Card Monsters (that's the correct name) were sold only as a set. I that case should they be listed in a single entry?

    Most of them have been sold as sets but people can want/have them individually through re-sale.

    I will update the mini series name.

    Edit: when I got this set I was able to buy them individually but went with the sealed set. The store I was at had many opened.

    This is the semi-clear milky-white colour variant. It is not the same as the silver version in the link you posted jazzy. You can definitely tell because if you look around the waist you can see the black vinyl of the pants through the semi-clear white vinyl.

    You beat me to it. I've had this in my watch list for a couple of days, and kept meaning to post the link here. Thats a great price for a set of 16 Rebel Inks. But if I had that sort of money, I think I would get a new iMac first.

    These guys are pretty easy to get a hold of back in Japan though. Problem is Kaijin just isn't really worried about selling to the overseas audience. He mentioned to me that he's more interested in sticking to the home market. That's why he has never had any overseas releases. Mandarake almost always has a couple kicking around their online shop if you are willing to pay for overseas shipping. They basically charge real cost for EMS postage.
