YAMATO USA INTRODUCES HIMITSUBAKO, MYSTERY BOX PACKAGING
Torrance, CA, October 10th, 2005 – Yamato USA, the North American subsidiary of Japan's Yamato Co. Ltd., is exceptionally excited to introduce what it is affectionately calling HIMITSUBAKO, Yamato's popular line of Story! Image! Figure! 4” scale trading figures in their original Japanese mystery box packaging!
What is HIMITSUBAKO? Roughly translated, HIMITSUBAKO means mystery box. It's a mystery because figures come packaged in a closed box which means you won't know what you will get until you open the package… just like trading cards.
But what if you want to collect an entire set of figures without buying endless duplicates? That's the best part. Yamato's HIMITSUBAKO come in convenient set display cases with no random pieces! Each display case contains one complete set so collecting has never been easier!
And what better way to introduce HIMITSUBAKO than with the perennial anime favorite BUBBLEGUM CRISIS, as well as the irresistibly adorable girls of KUJIBIKI UNBALANCE! Read on to learn more or click on the links embedded in the item names to be directed to product page!
