Star Wars Takara Tomy Han Solo Figure

 So, I tried to find bootleg action figures while in Japan with no luck. I had asked many people but no one could tell me where to buy them. I decided to buy Star Wars collectibles that were exclusive to Japan. This Takara Tomy Han Solo figure is one such collectible that can only be found in Japan.

 This Han Solo figure is totally die cast metal. Very different from the plastic figures sold in the U. S. Also the legs are not articulated. The only parts articulated are the arms and the waist.

 He has a cool looking blaster that is removable too! Yay!!!

 I have no idea what any of the Japanese print says, unfortunately:-( I would really like to know. Now I am wishing I had gotten more of these figures. They are available on ebay but the shipping is pretty high.

I love adding this to my Star Wars collection.

Star Wars Egg Force Darth Vader Figure

 I was intent on finding bootleg Star Wars figures in Japan. I would go to a toy store and ask them if they knew of any store that sold them. They would send me to a store only to find they don't have them. I would ask the store worker if they know and they would send me to another store. So basically they didn't know where to find bootleg Star Wars figures but didn't want to say so. LOL!!!

 While going through the different stores I came upon this fascinating toy. It is a transforming Darth Vader figure that transforms from...AN EGG!!! Yes! That's right! An egg. I love it!!!

 This thing caught my eye because it is so bizarre! Definitely something not sold in the U.S.A. and something I had to have.

 I can totally say that this is so Japanese because that is where I found it. This is so crazy and I am so happy to have it included in my collection.

It's an egg!!! So awesome!!

Luke Skywalker Bespin Duel Action Figure From Japan

 When I visited Japan my intention was to find Star Wars collectibles that would only be found in Japan. It was not hard to do since there are a lot of toy stores in Japan, and a lot of toys exclusive to the country. Here's the thing, I found this Luke figure and really wanted it because of all the really cool accessories. Also, the price was pretty good too. I decided to get it and have not determined if I will open it.

 There is this really neat sticker on the back that has Japanese printed on it which makes this figure different from the ones that are found in the U. S. It is so cool that it keeps me from cracking open that bubble. Maybe I could just use something really sharp and cut the bubble in such a way that it could stay on and I could remove the figure and display it. Hmmm, now to get something really sharp.
