Takaras

Do you have to go to Japan to find them?  How much do they usually cost?

I think "most" of them have turned up through Japanese auction sites and other Japanese sources - after all they were only ever sold and for a very limited time in Japan. So you maybe dont have to go to Japan but for those not currently in the hands of collectors I would guess if and when they show up its most likely they ll be in Japan.

I dont know how much recently they have changed hands for because they would have been personal transactions but I would guess on the open market on ebay you would be $1000 plus region and goodness knows how much more for MIB items

I think i have one of those fakies. It's red-ish with yellow hair. I really don't have any clue about the gal

That's an awful lot of money.  I will never own a Takara.  Not unless I win the lottery.
Oh well, a girl can dream, can't she?

The fakies I believe are more around the $30 mark and they are super cute!

Yeah...  I don't usually like fakies much.... but I might make an exception for those little cuties.  They really are adorbable.  Still, $30 trumps the most expensive pony I ever bought (I spent about $26 on a UK Starlight).  So.... I'd still put that on my "maybe someday" wish list.
