My Kaiyodo figurine collections from Japan just keep growing. I picked up the up the Iguanodon skeleton and the big T-rex facing to the right recently from Japan Town. I either get them from Japan Town or I order them online. The dinosaurs come in a capsule sealed inside chocolate, so you don't know which one you're going to get. The cats come in a box and just like with the dinosaurs you don't know which one you're going to get. I'm lucky I didn't get doubles, and I cheated by guessing the weight of each box to predict which one was inside. I had a "feeling" about the cat pooping in the box, which was the one I wanted the most and my feeling led me right. Good thing because it's freaking funny and surely my favorite one :P. You have to assemple all of these figurines. They aren't toys and aren't for small hands to play with, they are detailed tiny projects.
I literally just live a few blocks away from Japan Town in San Francisco. I go for a walk there almost every week for sushi and figurine finds.
Oh the photo is just a bit outdated. I added some more dinosaur figures. I haven't snapped a photo yet.

They are rather expensive. Usually about $3 - $6 on average for one. the cats are about $6. Expensive for something small. If you buy a set on ebay it costs about $50 or $60. that's what I did with some of the dinosaurs. A random assortment came in the mail from Japan.
Some of them though from Japan town I got for about $2. Those were the ones that came in a chocolate egg.

I just looked on ebay and I couldn't find one but sometimes they are up there. They are usually up there for $12 - $16. I guess they are worth more when you actually know which one you're getting. The one in the cat box is supposed to rare from what I understand. Some of the sets sell for $126 or more. It's best to bid :>.
