Pricey New Pastime

The Howl’s Moving Castle papercraft I blogged about a few weeks back is still “in process”, which is code name for “I got lazy.”  Busy being lazy led me to do something bad - I handed Ebay wads of benjamins.  I searched for Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Miyazaki, and anything having to do with Studio Ghibli.  Shipping was pricey for many of these because they were coming from Hong Kong and Japan but well worth it especially since the figures were made by Cominica before they were found guilty of tax evasion.  I couldn’t find anything online to tell us if they’re still allowed to make toys for Studio Ghibli.  Many of the figures I bought are from the Model Image Collection.  There are 11 in total, some are out of production and hard to find.  I couldn’t find pictures of the complete collection but here’s the Totoro one, and the Nausicaa one. I’ll have pictures of the 11 boxes once they’re all here.  I’m very tempted to take out the figures, but I’ll wait until I can find or build a nice display case where they won’t get dusty.
