I'm basically a BotP/Gatchaman and Superheroes Collector when it comes down to it, and boy was it hard to stay on track (and on budget) with all the other cool stuff.
If I hadn't of picked up (actually my wife picked them up as early birthday/anniversary gifts) the Hot Toys 66 Batman and Robin, they also had terrific prices on the Fewture Gatchaman ships at the Fewture booth at the toy show. Those were really hard to pass up at 9800 yen (less than a hundred bucks... I have yet to see any that low on ebay)
I got this Jinpei/Keyop Vinyl for about fifty bucks at the show... probably overpaid given how scuffed and dirty he was, but it's so hard to find any vintage Gatchaman stuff that isn't Ken/Mark, I had to jump on it. Still had the vinyl cape at least.
and boy was this an... INTERESTING shop at Nakano Broadway, to say the least! Chris and I could barely move around in this store, so we can only imagine how our much larger toy brethren around these parts would fare in there. Again, probably overpaid... especially for the small Mark/Ken vinyl, which i'm probably guessing isn't vintage at all (in the 70's/80's sense). Jun/Princess figures are missing their capes, and kind of worn.

Imagine having these BOTP toys when we were kids.
