My understanding is that some will be allotted to the US market after the Japanese market is set.
No release date yet. Keep watching the skies. |

I was just about to post this too. Here is the link to the untranslated original page...
http://tenshu53.exblog.jp/11556603/
Now you can go there from here, and here from there with the links  .
Well done Karl

Great link, thanks a lot guys !
Just one question : Is it just me or Karl's haircut in the second photo doesn't match the "Worldcon haircut" seen in the first one ? Too short imho on the sides (above the ears) and maybe also on the top...
Could we get closer and more accurate pics of the top (and maybe also back of head) to more accurately compare this aircut with the "Worldcon" ?
Fred
PS : BRAVO Karl, nice toys you have here BTW !

Thanks!
Wow, embarrassing... Yes my hair style did change a bit in the past few years. 
Anybody read Japanese? The google translation is a bit... obscure.
That last photo was taken by my friend Brian Stillman, and that is his fantastic collection of space toys and robots in the background there. Thanks Brian!
You can read all about his cool stuff and get lots more photos here

And as always, awesome thanks to Nobu, Eno and especially Shinji-san, the fine folks over at Tomenosuke.

Maybe this is the often rumored second "Karl" that was made as a backup to the Hero Karl.
It is nice to see Tomensuke giving you your much do place in the BR Blaster history. Can't be said enough but Thanks to Karl for re-discovering, photographing and posting one of the most iconic Sci FI weapons of all time. |

I thought this one was sold at a Profiles History auction earlier this year ?

Sad to say the Carl that was sold by Profiles turned out to be a fake.
Accept no substitutes. |
