snigger - have you got ANY idea of how many characters there are out here!
Have you got any pics or a link? Is this the kind of thing you are talking about? http://www.strapya-world.com/categories/12_28_96.h...

Ah-ha! Some further research shows that Gachapin (kana removed as the server hasn't got the J language pack installed....) was a character on a children's show on Fuji TV. It just so happens that I live a few KM away from the Fuji TV building on Odaiba, and they have a character shop at the base of the block.

I will try and get over there before I come back to the UK for Xmas on 12/12.
What is the budget? And I hope you are not too choosy!!

Now why didn't you ask when I was over there with Carreauchompeur a couple of weeks ago?

Budget I don't know its only a jokey present for the OH although brownie points would be earned

Would be looking for some sort of figurine if poss either a soft toy or just a plastic figure, is 20-30 feasible?

[GlenMH]

JPY3-4k (GBP21-28ish) should be doable. I'll let you know when I have success or failure!

Our Japanese adventure is coming to an end and a return to the UK beckons. The reverse-culture shock is going to be an interesting experience!
