POPY Figure Bin and Header Card

Yowzers! Foreign store displays are few and far between but to see a complete bin and header and to have it filled with figures on top of that is a real treat. I've seen examples of a Takara 12 back bin and a Takara Walking R2-D2 bin but this is the first Popy display I've heard of. The colors and graphics on this header card really make it quite a striking piece and I just love the look of the Star Wars logo in Japanese text.

Assembling a complete set of 15 Popy boxed figures can be a daunting task (ask anybody who's tried) but this display is filled with no less than 4 complete sets. Needless to say I think this is a killer piece.

Andy is one of the best sources for Asian toys and information so if you need anything be sure to drop him an email.
