Ran into someone who had one, and he was nice enough to let me take pics.


The Iru Iru minis were sold individually and as a set on this awesome vintage style display.

This company and toy also debuted at today's Superfes.

In terms of vintage toys, this show was the best I've been to in a long time.

    So many awesome photos!
    Thanks for the great
    coverage of the event,
    Andy. The Marmit Archdemon
    is my favorite figure
    I saw in your post. I'm
    guessing the price was
    21,000 yen for it.

    Thanks guys!
    Sorry Krakit, I didn't catch the price. I usually have my hands full snapping shots and don't usually hone in on details like that unless I buy the figure or the price tag shows up in the photo. (That and the fact that there are usually hundreds of different toys for sale. ;-)

    The numbers on the piece of
    paper under the Archdemon
    in your photo are 21,000 and
    6,300 so I was guessing the
    higher number represented the
    price. I can't read Japanese
    so I'm not sure what is being
    said on the paper.

    The Japanese says:

    Asutarosu: 21,000
    Guru: 6300
