They are just... too adorable...

Or, more likely, because you can't... but really, really wish that you could, and this good samaritan is looking out for you. Thanks for sharing the goodness! “Chris Butcher: fearlessly striding through the promised land of consumer temptation, so you don’t have to.”

Super deformed versions of both are absolutely adorable. :D I love these posts! And I love that you're totally taking photos of everyday things and random crap. It's totally what I would do. I really want to go to Japan now, but I don't think I'd be able to handle all the chara-goods stores. I think I'd explode.

He is to Ultraman as The Master is to Dr. Who or possibly Luthor to Superman. Seriously though-- these posts are great! Can't wait to see more. *rolls eyes* Jeez it’s not a “squid monster” Chris; it’s Alien Baltan (Barutan Seijin, バルタン星人).

AN... AWESOME POST! I was going to say, why can't US culture be more like Japan's -- until I got to the creepy Evil Woomba Transformer thing. And as the parent of a toddler, I was completely amused by the Elmo strip (although I couldn't get the "wearing their skins" thought out of my head; thanks, Chris!). I'll bet my daughter would love it! (And is it too late to ask for some Sgt. Frog swag? Uh, for my daughter?) SUCH… AN… AWESOME POST!

AAAARGH! TO BE CONTINUED!?! Even Seasame Street comics end in cliffhangers in Japan. The anticipation is killing me! I've seen those Moe Transformers at the import toystore in the cool Chinese mall in Markham. Did you see the one where she's kissing Ironhide on the cheek? That was weird. They have the super articulated sexy girl robot action figures in Markham too, but they ain't 20 bucks. O_O Japanese TOYS R' US is AWESOME. Pretty Cure is stupid popular, it seems? Those Jack Skelington dolls in the costume section are frightening as all hell. O_O Keep up the good work.
