After receiving my first package from Joseph, all I have to say is he is an awesome guy. His packaging is pretty top notch. Everything that Joseph did was professional and his replies to emails is pretty quick. I recommend his service for any of those hard to find/get items.

S.I.C. Imagination Works exclusives

S.I.C. Imagination Works exhibition will be held at Laforet Museum Harajuku from March 16-21, 2007. Admission fee is 600 yen per person. 25 original diorama sculptures made for Hobby Japan's S.I.C. HERO SAGA series will be on display at the museum, along with all S.I.C. products from S.I.C. Vol. 1 to the recently released item. There will also be a behind the scenes look at the process of creating the S.I.C. figures, plus Takayuki Takeya and Kenji Ando will appear for talks about the S.I.C. series. Being a huge S.I.C. fan myself, I definitely wouldn't want to miss this golden opportunity to get my favorite S.I.C. figures signed by them! Unfortunately, photography in the museum is not allowed so I won't be able to provide my coverage of the exhibition. If only my eyes could take pictures ...

Kamen Rider Ryuga [Dragblacker] - 5,500 yen

There are multiple pieces for the Witchblade Masane Amaha and the Busou Shinki Naked Bodies, but most of them were packed and shipped out to clients before I managed to take haul pics of all items.

Client testimonial #32

Testimonial from client #65:

I heard first about Tokyo Hunter's service on my Japanese toy forum Robot-Japan and thought I might give him a try. All the client testimonials I have read before sure do not lie about Joseph's service. And I have to say: it was a great experience that I will repeat in the future. Joseph is great to deal with, true to his word and earns my highest recommendation. His service is invaluable to any serious collector.

WonderFest 2007 Winter coverage

WonderFest 2007 Winter. Second WF event I attended and this is the first WF winter event for me. Luckily for this event, I don't need to line up and sleep overnight on concrete pavement like I did for WF 2006 Summer and C3 x Chara Hobby 2006 events -- all thanks to the WonderFest dealer pass that Kotobukiya was kind enough to provide, with the help of HobbyLink Japan in getting Kotobukiya to send one over for me and another for a HLJ staff. I definitely wouldn't be able to get so many exclusive items without the pass and wouldn't want to line up overnight in the freezing winter just to get in early to make the purchases. Big thanks to Kotobukiya and HLJ! Looking forward to getting in early again for WonderFest 2007 Summer and C3 x Chara Hobby 2007!
