Top Wo Nerae 1.5

Before I went to live in Seattle for 5 months last year, I spent a few hundred dollars on these "one coin" figures (some of the Gundam series) - to shell out to my colleges - they make great gifts and also look groovesome on the desk.
"One coin figures" nearly always means that you cant see whats inside the box - so for example if you wanted all 6 of these "Top wo nerae 2" figures, even if you buy a box set (which has 12 of these inside at 6,300 yen) there is no guarantee that you will have all 6 different figures which is a pain in the bottom. But the good thing is that if you have x-ray vision, you can go to the shops, look inside the box and pay a measly 500 yen for a figure - sounds like a bargain to me. Just just a small problem of x-ray vision...
But if you are lacking in the x-ray vision department, you can find shops which sell these figures out of the box in places like Akihabara - they display them in glass cabinets and after informing a shop assistant, they will give you a key to open the cabinet. BUT for the privilege of being able to get hold of the figure you want, you may sometimes be paying several times the original price - I have seen some for crazy prices like 5,000 yen !

Hey Danny have you heard of the anime called Karas? It was part of some 40th anniversary project and the crew behind it releases one episode each month so there has only been three up to this point.

Yes =). It is really good looking but the problem is that the story (from episode I) looked rather confusing because it dealt with those critters from the movie "Spirited Away" called "Yokai". Aside from that, the cg animation used to bring Karas to life is really good considering the fact that they did not use motion capture devices to model movements. -Nick
