Kawagoe, Saitama
Kawagoe in Saitama, which is approx. 30 mins train ride away from Tokyo’s Ikebukuro, is a city known locally as “Little Edo” where some of its streets preserve the old Edo period (17c to 19c.) stuctures. Kawagoe is famous for its sweet potatoes, and on the local “Candy Street” one can find such treats as sweet potato chips, sweet potato ice cream, sweet potato coffee, and even sweet potato beer, brewed at the local Coedo Brewery.

Nikko highlands
Here are some other pics taken in Nikko. Prior to going to the world heritage site, we were at the Kirifuri Highland which reaches an altitude of between 600 and 1600 meters, and is often covered with fog and mist.

Although the Hot Toys’ original Batman and Joker figures, the Batod, and the Batmobile pretty much answers every Bat-fan and figure collectors dreams, the line is still somewhat incomplete. Why? Because we all know Batman gets a new Batsuit half way through the movie therefore how complete will a line of Dark Knight collectibles be without a figure of the new-suit-Batman? Well, hey, hey, hey! Finally, the revealing of Hot Toys ‘Dark Knight’ Batman! Despite being a pretty early prototype, the top half of the suit is already looking very, very tastey!
