Currently touring, with the exhibit now stationed at the Brooklyn Museum New York, this is great resource for videos featuring the artist TAKASHI MURAKAMI discussing his work.

Cute enough to eat!


From Bandai division MEGAHOUSE's range of mobile-phone charms and keyring figures called CHARA FORTUNE. Taking a more graphic sensibility to the cute aesthetic, this range began with GUNDAM MOBILE FORTUNE back in 2000. Each mini-figure comes with a printed fortune and wrapped in a foil tetra-pack like a fortune cookie. Here are the new releases, beginning with NARUTO.



The ever popular GUNDAM SEED DESTINY returns for more...



Taken from the EVA-PUCHI franchise, these are the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION Angels. Love the embryo in the sample jar!

"Savour the original Flavour"


Canned coffee served by the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION girls, Rei & Asuka.

A quick fix for the NHS


Taken from the new GUNDAM SEED FRAME ASTRAYS manga series, this is the "HOSPITAL ZAKU WARRIOR". A weapon of mass destruction with it's very own intensive care unit fixed to it's back. Would make a great kit release to an already great line up.

METAL GEAR BONANZA.....

Just arrived from Japan and disappearing fast. Check them out here with other Japanese METAL GEAR products.





Back to the Dark Ages!


The arch enemy from the "Super Movie Keroro Gunsou 3: Keroro vs Keroro" animated feature just released in Japan. DARK KERORO has afetching cape and comes with his own Kero ball for a duel to the death with Sgt.Frog!


Take a journey through time with Sgt.Frog as a little Samurai Warrior or as known in Japan, MUSHA-KERORO! The armor can be displayed separately on the display stand like a museum piece. A half face mask is included with a mustache that can tickle the enemy into submission. Musha Keroro comes with two Gundam-style beam sabers as weapons and a figure display base, for dynamic poses.


PRIVATE TAMAMA as a little Samurai Era Foot-Soldier. Tamama comes with a fork weapon that can be switched to either a hammer or a Samurai troop flag (a cheeky nod to the Seven Samurai).

Check them out here with other Japanese Sgt.Frog products.
