Unusual and Unique Items
What is the most unusual piece of Gatch merchandise that anyone has seen or brought for that matter?
Is there a particular place people recommend buying stuff that is reliable and good value?
Oh and Katse did you finish those puppets you were going to make?

Well if I can I will try and see if my brother can get me merchandise from Thailand. Its possible that Japanese stuff reaches them and then we might open up a store on the site too

Collector alert! These aren't unique, but they are fun.
I have a pair of Gatchaman II magic sandals. Admittedly they're not really magic, they're basically flip-flops which have that 70s moving picture effect done by having a zig-zagged surface with 2 or more pictures hidden in the angles. They're pretty funky.
And I have a 1-Rover-1 from France complete with a little magnet thing which makes him open his mouth. And a 7-Zark-7 too, I think, although I'd have to find out where I've put him. He might have sort of hidden himself away 
That flying skeleton Ken toy is pretty unusual. I haven't got one of those myself though.

I never got the spare cash to make the puppets (bloody car repairs), but if anyone is interested in having one made (or all of them made), I'll see how much they would cost--my guess is about $30-40 Canadian for one, but the more you order, the less they'd be, because I'd be able to use leftover pieces to make the others.

ooh unusual stuff?
I have an old matchbox-style Phoenix that a friend sent me...
And I got an original promotional poster from Japan that even has the times, calendar thingie and a bvox for writing stuff...
Um and a freaking KICK-ASS wall hanging of our two sexy birdies -- Joe is all beat up, helmetless and still wanting to kill, with Kenny boy holding him up and looking into the distance looking all stoic amd manly.
I saw some nifty stuff on ebay tonight...But Flash said no <wibble wibble sob sob> I've been put on a toy ban, cos I have too many now...<pout>
<sh!ts herself as the thunderstorm picks up outside> eep...Time to jet

Hey, so long as he's still your favourite toy, he's got no cause to complain about the rest!

Actually I put him on an airbrush ban...He bought his fourth this weekend...FOUR!!!
So I threatened to steal his second compressor to repaint all of his planes to funky anime colours if he didn't buy me Astroboy....We'll see how that goes

I can never see the point in airbrushes (having done kits for many a year) they are a big nusiance to use.
only thing they are good for is mottling ME 109s...
I do a lot of Warhammer stuff, and they are allways painted by hand, even by the experts. they use three sable brushes, `large` `medium`and `little` the set costs £6 from Games Workshop (Im sure you could buy them cheaper)
yet they produce some stunning detailed work.
yet my father who is a watercolours artist has paid up to £70 (I kid you not!) for a fine detail brush
mysterious huh?

I don't own this but it's very nice. I can't work out whether it's a completed and painted version of the crescent coral kit that was out in the last few years, or something else.

Yep, like Tracy Island after it's been through a worm hole... (huge TB fan here!)
These people seemed to have missed the point that Crescent Coral is, like, almost all underwater...

I don't own this one either, but it's got to be the maddest toy idea ever. Flying skeleton Ken. Apparently he has a propeller on his bum to make him go. Oh, the indignity...

I think these might be pretty unique...

Those jeans are awesome! I'd wear them in a heartbeat. Considering getting myself some iron-on transfers for shirts, buying some plain-ol' shirts and creating my own stockpile of anime gear. ^_^ Maybe I'll make a couple of Gatch shirts. Eh, change that maybe to a probably. If I get the stuff to do it, I'll probably go nuts. ^_^

We tried the fancy paper you run through your printer to make iron-ons for a mousepad. Didn't stick to the mousepad.
Anyone know how well it works for the intended material?

Supposedly it works pretty well. I can see how the material might not stick to a mousepad, seeing as how it has a different texture than a shirt. I guess if I do it (haven't bought the materials yet), I'll find out. ^_^
