Well that's sad. I came close to importing a copy a few years ago once but could not pull the trigger. Are there any other magazines like this still going?

I think there's still Figure King?

With the rise of the internet, I suppose these kind of magazines are just kind of redundant. It's a real shame, as I have fond memories of stuff like Wizard and Toyfair.

I used to buy this pretty regularly, but stopped a year or so ago because I just ran out of room. There are several other hobby magazines that might have some tokusatsu toys in them, but maybe only Figure Oh (King) is less about plastic models than toys (eg. Hobby Japan, Model Graphix).

That's a bummer.
