Clockwork Machina!

Ishimori ProXPanson Works

Sweet! Ishimori Pro and Panson Works are collaborating on some blind box figures of their popular superheroes. These figures are a lot smaller then the previously posted Luffy figure standing at only 50mm. There’s a couple that I want looking at the roster line up like Kamen Rider RX, Kikaider, and Cyborg 009. The roster has 24 in all to collect and a secret figure. If any you out there are interested in buying Panson Work figures your best bet is on eBay or Hobby Search, as they are a bit hard to find here in the States. This particular line is already out and should be at stores soon.

CM! in Nakano: ONE UP Store

The other day, I was able to meet up with a friend in Nakano where he accompanied to the famous vinyl toy store One Up. I was really looking forward to this, since One Up had vinyl toys which are hard to find in the states. The first impression of the store was the size. Its very small, but the display cases are lined up and compacted with some awesome toys. Everything that is displayed at the website was displayed in the cases. This made it easy to choose which toys I wanted and left me running for the ATM.

Ultraman X Touma Gashapon

Touma is designing gashapon toys for the Ultraman series. The sculpts are looking pretty cool given each character has some sort Touma emphasized design. These line of toys are set to come out in March’08 and One Up is taking preorders costing 4,200円 for the entire set.

Talking about One Up, I got a chance to visit the store yesterday and will write a report on it soon with my visit to Nakano.
