Tempura, one of my all time favourite Japanese foods. When done right, the crispy fried batter melts in your mouth together with the fish, prawn, squid of vegie that it’s fried with it. Yummm And of course, when in Japan, I had superb tempura!

The Mori Art Museum in Roppongi Hills is one of my favorite art museums. It’s location at the top of the Mori Towers does help, but it’s also because of the excellent curation of the exhibits. The use of space and lighting goes a long way in helping my appreciation of art.

It was freezing in Tokyo and what better food than Sukiyaki on a cold night? We checked out this all-you-can-eat Sukiyaki place in Shinjuku. It was fantastic!

The War Machine teaser last week did hint of a great War Machine sculpt, but boy was I surprised when Hot Toys released the full series of images of War Machine. Hot Toys seem to keep outdoing themselves.
The sculpt looks amazing, and it has articulated fingers! lol If this is a sign of things to come for the Iron Man 2 figures, then it’s a pretty damm good sign. I can definately see myself scoring this figure. More pics below.

Tokyo is one of those cities which captures my imagination. It’s fast moving, ever changing, amazing pop culture and the food’s fantastic! My Tokyo trip earlier this year was a blast. It was the 2nd time in a year that I was there and no regrets. This begins the series of posts over the next month of my trip, where I’ll share pics and some recommendations.

The Revoltech Sci-Fi series was announced some time ago and the latest pics of their upcoming offerings are starting to tempt me. The Dark Knight Batman, Alien Queen and the Predator are all top on my lists. Even the Toy Story figures are looking good.
I have the Transformers and Macross figures from revoltech and they are all great quality figures. I’m happy they are starting to branch out. They just got to make sure their sculpt and quality remains.
The first figure of the series will be an Alien figure. What a great way to start. I have it pre-ordered and it’s due this April. Nice.

After much procrastinating, I’ve finally updated my Tokyo Toy Shops posts. The shops are still basically the same. I did check out one or two new shops, but nothing to post about. The main shops are still going strong.
The Jan 2010 updates are in blue. There are pics of shop fronts and the interior of the shops themselves to give you an idea of what to expect and find. I’m planning my 2011 trip, will update more then! 
Have fun toy shopping in Tokyo!
