    Muppet Kubrick Collection

    Well, I dont mean to say that everything in America will be popular in Japan just because it is from America. However oftentimes with movies for example they will wait until the movie has been a success in the States so that they can advertise it that way. I have also seen several "character"...

    Muppet Kubrick Collection

    Actually all of those titles are just as or almost as popular here as they are in the states. And even if a character isnt very well known here in Japan, the fact that it is popular in the states will tend to make it popular here as well. I really do hope that they make some more muppet/sesame...

    Oscar Multicolor Kubricks

    I didn't know that! Do you know of any websites that have them available for purchase in the states? I have seen them here in Japan in second hand stores but they are quite expensive and would love to few a couple of them for my friend.

    Oscar Multicolor Kubricks

    Are Kubricks very popular in America? Here in Japan people go crazy collecting them. A couple of days ago they released the Supreme Kermit Kubrick and they sold out the same day. I havent heard of more future Muppet related releases but it is definitely a possibility!

    Has anyone seen this?

    Well I picked this up a couple of days from supreme here in Tokyo. They sold out pretty much the first day and are going for outrageous prices on the auction sites here.
