Just got back from this big ol anime convention, and guess what I found? Yep...the Sesame Street Kubrick action figures from Japan!
While stateside SW doesnt give two slimeys and a Grundgetta about Sesame collectors, in Japan Sesame is all the rage merch wise.
Luckily at leats Hot Topic here is beginning to see this.
Anyways, the store that had a booth there can be found here:

My favorite is Little Bird(just cuz I like obscurity) but the rest are pretty cool. Now if only all that other Sony Wonder Japanese Sesame merch could be ordered stateside.
On a side note, I saw a number of cute girls wearing some sort of Muppet related shirt at the anime con(this one girl was wearing a Fraggle Rock shirt, camoflage pants, and boots...hot!)
So its good to see Hot Topic keeping the Muppets 'hip' for the younger crowd, heh.
