Final Fantasy Play Arts Kai Vanille Review

Yay Joshin store again for having this cheap.  Vanille was marked down to ¥1800 compared to her normal ¥4000.   Compared to America over here the closest I can find her is on Amazon.com for $40.     I'm quite pleased with this purchase.   I haven't beaten FF XIII yet but from what I'm finding I like the cheerful characters in Final Fantasy.  They're going up against world threatening events and they also have a positive attitude.  Enough rambling here at some pictures for you to decide if you want to spend the money on her. 

Play Arts Final Fantasy VIII Selphie Review

Play Arts Selphie came out a while ago and in America you can find her, and other Final Fantasy Play Arts figures, for $20+ online and in stores.  When I was shopping around for toys in Japan I found her for ¥1000.  I'm happy I snagged her for that price because I can now make a Final Fantasy team on my desk. 

Japanese Crane/UFO Catcher Games

Real quick post.  At ¥100-¥200 a game these things are addictive.  In hindsight I regret playing them and dumping all that money into them.  Just look how awesome the faces are! But yeah if you're ever in Japan give them a try and you might end up with awesome prizes like these!  Japanese toys come with awesome faces. 

40th Anniversary Cup Noodle: Cup Gunpla Review

My super sexy mega awesome girlfriend picked me up this set one day after work.  I'm not sure how much it cost but both of these seem pretty Japanese to me.  I believe this set is based off of the bad guy Char.  I think this is his Zaku but with Cup Noodles logo all over it.  Please forgive me if I am wrong I did no research into this.  

S.H.Figuarts Piccolo Review

Finding cheap Figuarts of my favorite characters was not easy in  Japan.  It felt like I had to be in the right place at the right time.  In Akihabara I thought I was going to get a Goku for only 2500 yen but that turned out to be a lie.  I couldn't find any of the Dragon Ball Z Figuarts until I was in Joetsu City.  There I found Piccolo and Gohan for a whopping ¥3300.  I didn't want to pay for them because I could maybe get them cheaper online.  It as good that I held out because Piccolo here was at a Joshin store for ¥2940 and I really like him.   

S.H. Figuarts: Kazuma Review

Whoa another month has almost passed since my last post.  I've been in Japan seeing the sights and buying some new toys.   These toys aren't new and some have been out for a while but I think they are awesome because they didn't make me poor.  I wish I could have gotten the more expensive figures but then I would have walked away with only two or three instead of the several I have right now.
