Yes they are. Anyway a lot of them were kids who didn't even reach my knee, so you can bet I felt rather...LARGE. Yes, I hope the gaijin-tachi spread the word!

It was silly, really, cus I ended up standing next to both of them after I came down, and we started awkwardly talking, and I'd like to think the rest of my forceful squeebling banished any apprehension (or scared them so badly they threw any further caution to the wind! XD)

It's still scary to think of squishy Cosmos.

Well, you squeal over Kakashi, I'll squeal over Cosmos. Or any of the other 31. XD

*giggles* A giant fangirl amidst all the other chibi-fans!

Aww, yeah, I would've been rather awkward too. It's not as easy as people make it seem to just walk up to a random fan and chat away enthusiastically. Or at least, not for me @.@

*lol* I didn't mean that in a bad way; I'm just relieved to know I'm not the only one who gets a fangirly grin when she sees UM pics XD;;

...But, since you insist~ *Kakashi!fangirls*

Flicked that from luxetumbra earlier this morning. Hilarious! Absolutely hilarious! XD

Aren't you glad you didn't have to kidnap Cosmos? ;)

Go you! We must show that fandom breaks all boundaries, including (and ESPECIALLY) age. (o|o)

The first time I went to Japan, in 1998 (I think), I was taken to a department store on Christmas Eve--Isetan, I think. And I was very thrilled to see a lifesize Ultraman suit wearing a Santa hat set up in the toy department! Unfortunately, I had no camera.

Later on, we found a tiny little shop that had a 6-foot-tall plush Baltan-seijin standing outside. We all took pictures with him. Baltan-seijin is not so scary when he's only 6 feet tall and squeezably soft and plushy.

A 6 foot tall BALTAN plushie?? O|O;;; (Y)^Y^(Y)

I've seen Ultraman figures in Santa cloaks, and there are pictures in the Ultraman2 YahooGroup. Better still, would you like me to send you a pic? ;)

Sorry this is so late--LJ was being a spaz last night, I tried to reply 3 times but never could get it through! I'd love to see a photo! You can send it to lordmoxie (at) hotmail (dot) com. And I'll try to find my photo of Big Squeezably Soft Baltan-Seijin Plush!
