8.22.15 - Collection Update + New Collector Site Added

Hey all. I have a mail post today. First off is the US Matt and TK figures, MIB (well, the bubble was popped but I repaired it). I'm glad to finally add this to my two loose variants of Matt. That karate chop action, yo. Matt's temper in all its glory. My only peeve here is on the sticker inside Matt's hair (well, image) is flipped. The US doesn't find those things important. Sigh.

Next I got these stamps. Not sure where they are from but they use Japanese names and I bought them from an AUS seller. (Koushiros name is notably butchered. Could be a typo).  The seller listed them as (philately?) Cinderella stamps; fantasy based stamps not issued by a government body but still collectible. Pretty cool.

Also of note, I have added a Togemon collector's site to our Links. Give her a check out, its a pretty rad site!

8.29.15 - New UFO / Crane plush keychain: Gabumon

So, Bandai posted new crane game plush on their plush site (here), due out mid September. I'm not super excited (okay, that Goma!) But only because we already had Agumon, Patamon, and Gabumon in the last lot. I'd rather see more human characters.

Look for these on Yahoo! Japan about a week after release. Will probably run you 1500 yen each or less.

A few more FES items appearing - 8.17.15

Some more merchandise popped up over at Premium Bandai, including the mesh cap of the Omegamon emblem, previously only availible at DigiFes/Toei's webshop in the visor version. The cap costs around $30 USD and will be availible for preorder until next Monday, the 24th! There are also other items like wristbands, totes, Taichi-related apparel, all availible. No word on the standees on either site or Y!JP.
I also added a few more search terms to the How to Shop page.

8.9.15 - Collection Update

Wanted to share a small collection update. These are two items that were on my wish list for awhile now!
The first is the Blue Digivice Clip. These semitransparent clips were released with the Action Feature line in the US (and as far as I'm aware were never made in Japan). I tried to find out what set these came with as a kid and researched recently to no avail. I found a prototype Patamon that had a blue/teal button model, but never the blue/white. Lo and behold someone puts it up on eBay with a Zudomon figure (YamatoxJyou strikes again). No, this clip wasn't released with Zudomon, either.

Next is a MIB set of the US release of Matt and TK action figures. Not particularly rare but at a decent price so I couldn't pass these up despite owning the regular and TRU variants already. The biggest prize here is probably the sticker. I never see these loose.

My deputy will be paid by the end of September, so I'll be making a larger update then. 

8.7.15 - Yamato DAF2015 Can Badge is up

So, my hunt for the DigiFes items has still been a complete bust, even with Y!JP. I noticed the phone cases went up, but the badges must have glazed me over (there's so many!). Anyway, the preorder for these ends on August 19th, so get them while you can!

Here is Yamato's.

8.3.15 - Updated "How to Shop" Page with DigiFes Terminology + DigiFes Event is online!

Just a quick note. I added some of the DigiFes (DAF2015) terminology to the "How to Shop" page. Hopefully this will aid in finding the merchandise.. I haven't had ANY luck yet. I'll keep checking the Toei / PB shops and update when I can.

Update 2: We now have a full stream of the DigiFes event (from what I can tell, no subs though) but it does include ticket-holder exclusive stuff.

8.2.15 - Interview with Yoshimasa Hosoya / Page Update

Just thought I would drop this here. Has some interviews with actors/actresses that didn't make it to the event, including a very lively Yoshimasa Hosoya who is our new Yamato Ishida.

Also, I have been compiling this for some time and it still isn't complete, but I've added my "Who is Yamato Ishida?" page to the site. It's very thorough detailing clothes, objects, family, cameo appearances, tri, ect. all into one page. Please take a look!
