Bill you know your stuff, The Joe figure came from the five story Joshin Kid's Store. But the Ultraman came from a Mom and Pop toy store in Toyota City. Dwayne believe me, I hated to open it but the package was crushed in my luggage on that long flight home. I'm hoping to get back over there next Spring.

As JB said, the face is much too harsh for Wanda. •• Yeah, that face would be better "casting" for the Enchantress.

Fabrice, that photo was last August in Nagoya. From what my ex-patriate friends told me, the better selection and deals on anime and tokusatsu merchandise are outside of the Tokyo Metropolitan area. During G-Tour, I cleaned up most of my wish-list at Kyoto's Teramachi Shopping Street, and Osaka's Den-Den Town. If I had waited until my later trips to Akihabara and the Nakano Broadway Mall in Tokyo, I would have been skunked.

1/6th?? Holy Mother of Pearl! That car is 19 feet long! That would make the model more than three feet!

A 1/6th scale Batmobile. Won't that be enormous?
On another topic, here's the Sideshow Collectibles Premium Format Superman Statue.
And some other DC stuff from Sideshow.

On another topic, here's the Sideshow Collectibles Premium Format Superman Statue•• That's not a bad face, but their "real cloth" approach is mostly a deal breaker for me. I picked up their Red Skull, since it seemed to work on a Nazi uniform, but capes and leotards? Not so much!
