bandai museum
t'was with great interest and joy when i'd just discovered the existence of a Bandai Museum, with images of my childhood favs, captured in this flickr-set [images via]
with promises of a Gundam Museum and Character Museum - with classics like Ultraman, Masked (Kamen) Rider, Godzilla, Mazinger-Z, Power Ranges and even a life-sized-Gundam, all housed within a 9-storey building! *woot*
and then the cartoon-clouds came crashing down when i'd discovered (mere minutes later) that the museum had since ceased operations: "As of August 31, 2006 (8/31/06) has closed down. Bandai expresses its apologies and thanks all the visitors that have visited the museum in the last 3 years." [via wiki] ~ *oh well*
