Leonardo models!

I found the company that makes the Leonardo da Vinci models like the one I posted about earlier!

http://www.boford.co.jp/html/sobyou.html

They have a webshop up at http://store.yahoo.co.jp/kaho/index.html but I haven't the slightest idea how to navigate around it, what their prices are like, or if they ship to the US (and it looks vaguely like they may do bulk orders only).

OTOH, they're also the company that makes the little models of weapons from Blade of the Immortal. I have Magatsu's double sword (it's the one right above the SECRET blurred-out one).

Those are kind of fabulous.

you know, bc office products (http://www.bcop.biz/) imports some stuff like that, but sadly i don't think i've ever seen the da vinci stuff in their catalog. le sigh!

WANT pretty choppy toys WANT!

Are those spiky stars Rin's Dance of Blah Blah Wasps, or are they not on there? I don't recognize the not!trident they're with. And now I'm trying to remember who-all has a chakram and a Zabuza sword. (I'm sure it has a real name. To me it will always be the Zabuza sword.)

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure what the spiky stars are - I think Rin's Golden Wasps are just little bitty daggers. They're paired with a spiky thing that belongs (currently) to Manji. Not sure which one's the Zabuza sword, since I've forgotten what he carried. :D

HERESY. I meant this one, though really I just lump all the giant elephant-pureeing swords under "Zabuza sword.

I so need to get caught up on Blade of the Immortal. And Naruto. Though last I saw [recent-ish Naruto manga spoilers?], Sasuke let one of his minions steal Zabuza's sword! You are OFF THE BRUNCH LIST, young man. [/dork]

I will give the internet a dollar if the sekrit hidden Blade weapon is, uh, Shira's.

:P I consider all giant horse-killing swords to be Sagara Sanosuke's enormo-compensator from his Zanza days. I'm not sure offhand who's got that one. OH DARN MUST REREAD ALL BOTI.

If that hidden weapon is Shira's, that would be awesome.

[I SAW WHAT YOU DID THERE, PRE-EDIT. Oh Sanosuke, Magatsu wants a word with you for all whorekind.]

GOSH LIFE SUCKS THAT WAY MAYBE I'LL JOIN YOU TO COMMISERATE. But does Sanosuke's sword get sad dead gay ninja in snow emo, or even fluffy tufted symbolism like Tetsusaiga? I think not.

But how would I display it, that's the question. Maybe next to any future Princess Tutu figurines. DROSSELMEYER: BACK FOR REWRITES

WHEN PRINCESS TUTU SAYS "CROSS OVER," THE OTHER CANONS SAY "HOW HIGH ON CRACK?"

Most prissy-yet-stunning in tights, Anotsu or Fakir?

"Just save the headshrinking, little girl, because I will cut my own off if we have to do the pointy toe dance again."

"Are you sure you're feeling, um, emotionally stable?"

"Since when? Just take your glowy thing and get lost."

"Because I'm still sensing a lot of irritation here, and okay, maybe princes need a shard of sarcasm once in a while, I don't know princes, I guess snideness could come in handy when you're WHAT DID YOU DO TO THIS HEART SHARD?"

"Yeah, don't mention it."

"It has worms in it!"

"Like I said, you're welcome!"

There are certain images now permanently imprinted in my brain. I need a scourging brush or something.

P.S. the Leonardo shop:
2. 海外への発送
海外発送は行っておりません。
We will not ship to internationally.


Woe! Maybe a nice expensive proxy bidder will be so kind. Or now that one knows the company name, one may stalk eBay for the shinies.

I'm sure that between all of us here, we can scrape up someone who lives in Japan willing to help us out. XD (The first candidate I can think of is, unfortunately, on her way back to the States for a funeral, but will probably be back in Japan in the next couple of weeks.)
