From a guy in a garage kit forum I hang out at. At a great price too

Ah, yes, the darebin libraries have always been good to me too. They were my constant source of comics and movies when I was a kid and my parents couldn't afford to buy me some

its great, why borrow dvds from stores for around $5 a disc, depending on if you get a deal or whatever, when you can borrow for a free, AND for a max of 9 weeks, and the most you can pay is $1 for a reserve fee.. my friend told me about it and i was like "get out of here," but i had a look at the catalogue online and they have everything.. dvds, complete boxsets, comics, cds.. i was pleasantly surprised, compared to my old library that would have a VHS at best... haha

Got around to unboxing my Gaccha Gaccha Doraemon Chogokin.

I love Doraemon, grew up watching it, I still think I have my Cantonese dubbed VHS copies lying around.









Wow he is heavy! Well he is diecast metal (all but his feet which are plastic) but even so I didn't expect him to be this heavy. You'd take someone out if you hurled him at their head.

He's essentially a gashapon machine (those toy vending machines), you put the balls in the back of his head, pull his tail and they pop out of his chest. I had an unbelievably hard time opening those balls to put in the small toy prizes, I didn't realize until the end that yellow flat bell thing was used to skewer the balls open.

Limited movement, his head and arm can swivel, that's it.

All the accessories have small magnets at the end so they attach on Doraemon's head and arm. The extra sets of eyes are also magnetic.

Doraemon looks absolutely fantastic. I'm really happy with him.
