I have a beastly Mickey Mouse behind my pc... was in a picture I posted a couple months back, where Jamin ruthlessly teased me.

I think I had Mecha Figures as a kid, maybe my little bro still has them. I will go check.

Just in case any1 was interested in anime based figures, here are some links.

Hobby Search Japan
http://www.1999.co.jp/

Site in English and Japanese. Sells figures and hobby kits from Japan.
Shipping by EMS only. Prices = Japanese, expensive but cheaper than local.

CD Japan
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp

Site in English. Sells figures (as well as DVDs, CDs, etc) from Japan.
Shipping by EMS/Insured airmail. Prices a little more than 1999 and selection quickly
sold out.

Volks
http://www.volks.co.jp

Maker of anime resin models, which can be customised, fully, including
eyes, hair, attire etc. Famous for their resin Doll-Figures (Dollfies) which range in price up to $1500 for limited editions, eg 60cm SD Chii from Chobits. They also do robot controlled partially AI robot models called Robofie's.
Ship by airmail or EMS.

YesAsia
http://www.yesasia.com

Based in Hong Kong. Basically sell CDs, DVDs as well as resin/PVC figures. Prices are MORE expensive than at Japanese sites above, since
stuff is imported into HK before despatch. Ship by courier and airmail.

eBay
http://www.ebay.com

Numerous anime figure retailers.

Yahoo Japan Auctions
One can bid through a third party service eg.
Rinkya.com
Okshon.com
Crescent-shop.com
The first has a great English engine for YJ while the last two are
a little cheaper, IMHO.

You can call some of them dolls, I'm sure, however they can be customised and retail for big $$$ since only limited numbers are brought out. I wouldn't call these toys for kids, unless you're a very rich parent.
Someone's site: http://www.bobagirl.com/anime/nuevo/nuevo.html

Aha, yeah, you can get life-size models of many characters, scale 1:1 - they do retail for about $10K US, in Japan. Altho I'm sure they could be used for perverted reasons

. It would be cheaper tho to dress up a girlfriend or even a paid hooker

into a Cosplay outfit which usually go
for $100 or so. A 60 cm customised Chii can go for $1.500 easily too.

The nice figures are the painted PVC ones. They retail for about R350 plus shipping - but the quality of the work is outstanding usually. A resin model costs even more but there you have to paint the thing and assemble it and
it takes a lot of skill, plus expensive equipment like an airbrush gun.

Anyway that's just a bunch of links, if someone wants something in particular, Ebay or 1999 usually has it. If its rare, try Yahoo Japan Auctions, but you can usually find anything there although it costs extra to get it - namely the middleman fees. All sites ship to SA.
