I'm still bummed that the handle of the blue umbrella broke when I was moving. Still need to fix it somehow, need some type of super crazy glue as the umbrella is quite heavy.
Hm, I did not notice any rules regarding what should be posted, but could someone explain what type of toys/figures are allowable on this site?
it's not about rules :) right now Rotocasted take most anything people upload. But we've been having a lot of discussions on what should be on here - basically, it was set up to be a website for designer toys and not commercial toys. for the time being it was decided to tag toys there are based on existing characters as "Character Toy". we have a bunch of moderators so I'll change it :) At some point the database might be split into designer toys and a separate one for all the other toys. But the website is basically a labor of love for Sergey who set it up and it actually costs him money to keep it up, while he makes his own art and toy, so it may be a while, or the idea might be dropped.
you can keep submitting any toy you want, I was just expressing my opinion! :) it's a great statue
I actually have not seen it go on sale on the aftermarket (though I have not been searching on eBay on a regular basis). Originally I purchased this for around $100 or $120 I think from 1999.co.jp, but it has long since sold out.
Leshita, MaquetteCity would either of you be interested in selling or trading the Totoro figure with me? I have some items, which are on either of your wish lists.. we can do a trade+cash if necessary depending on the items..

I don't quite think this belongs on Roto, but I sooooo want this... it's very hard to find and costs a mint
