About once a year to year and half my wife and I like to go back to Japan. This year sadly I was unable to go with but sent her anyways. I told her if she didnt come back with some Kinniku goodness I would kill her in her sleep. So, lucky for her. She came back with this sweet ass stuff!!! :lol:

This is a bobblehead type toy. Robin's head bounces around freely. Pretty cool, but what I think is equally as cool (if not cooler even) is the box he comes in. Its shaped and looks just like Kinnikuman's house in the anime/manga hahahhaa. Pretty cool. This series has 7 regular figures and one hidden surprise one. Robin is sweet, the others look good, but the Kinnikuman one has this gay ass smile on his face and looks too kiddy. I am glad I didnt get that one.

These are some large keychains, kinda cool. Stand about same height as regular muscles. Their arms and legs move around. Guess there was some more of these but they were really expensive so she only picked up these two.

These are smaller key cover things. They slide over your key (as shown in picture). Pretty cool. She picked up all they had in the store, but I guess there are a few different ones that were bought out already. Not bad, sort of corny, but a potential conversation starter or something. Subtle way to bring more to the board hahahaha.

This little Sunshine thing is interesting. I guess what they were doing with this set is making souvineer type things for different tourist areas in Japan. This particular Sunshine one is from Tsutenkaku (tower reaching heaven), in Osaka. Other characters were posed at other famous castles, shrines, or touristy type places. I got to be honest, judging from the box, this was one of the more cheesy ones, but still cute and there was no telling which one youd get so she didnt waste her money on a bunch of them. They were expensive too and stand less than an inch.

These are what I was most excited about getting. These are the new re-issue kinnikuman keshi released for the 29th kinnikuman reunion. They are sold in these capsules and each is paired with their tag team partners from the Chojin Tag Tournament. Pretty cool. Sort of smaller and firmer than the original keshi and they say yst china on the back haha, so they may be mixed up with bootlegs someday. Pretty cool, I wish she had picked up more of them, but still sweet addition to the collection. Overall I was pleased with what she came back with. had I been with her, it would have been a different story.

This is a picture of one of my turtles, it has absolutely nothing to do with Japan, and nothing to do with Kinnikuman. I am posting him because he is so effing cute and felt like it.

That Sunshine w/ coat is AWESOME!!!

Your turtle is KILLER!!! I catch turtles, frogs, lizards, snakes, etc...all my life and my sons of course LOVE it when I do!!! This year my sons and I have caught a HUGE bullfrog in the yard when I was mowing (they just had to put him in the pool for a swim), tons of bullfrogs/toads/tree frogs (while fishing/camping), western painted turtles/snapping turtles (pulled about a 15 lb. snapper out of a pond w/ a fishing rod this summer), and a TON of garter snakes from the yard!!! About 2 years ago I caught them about a dozen race runner lizards and fence lizards (wicked bright blue and green stripes on the race runners) at a trout pond in northern NE while fishing! Those suckers were SUPER ULTRA FAST...hence the name "Race Runners." We kept those in our lizard aquarium (now a tropical fish aquarium again) for a year.

Turtles are hard to keep healthy...you have to have the right amount of UV light, great water filters, and enough calcium and dry basking area out of the water for their shells to remain hard and healthy. Also, wash your hands when handling him...you can get Salmonella easily from them.

Nice score Doc! She really brought home the bacon. The key covers rule as do the phone charms. I like the house too, I see those on YJP a lot. Hell, it's all cool!!!

Is the sunshine supposed to be doing karaoke?

He most likely will, little buggers live 40+ years and he is just a baby. I doubt I have 40 years left.

Yeah, had I went with, I would have picked up a lot more and tried to share/trade/sell some of the stuff. She is picky about my toy shopping so I was lucky to get what I did hahahha.

Sunshine is eating something, I think its supposed to be takoyaki deep fried octopuss with sauce, its pretty good and found at most tourist places.
