“Funnily” enough, my first brush with FLCL was NOT with the anime, but rather the “CANTI” action figures from Kaching Brands which I blogged about, circa 2006-7! I’d had the utter pleasure of finally getting a Canti pre-loved from a toy collector selling his toys (*ooo000ooo's Hot Topic Exclusive Canti*) but havent really “played” with it or displayed it in the open, as I had been too worried I’ll scrape it or something foolish with my clumsy hands! Oh wait! I have a video! (*Needs to find it first :p).

Here’s a peek at the poster that was apparently given out at Anime Expo!!!!

We got a free FLCL poster while waiting in line for the Trigger panel 👌👌👌 pic.twitter.com/xNHhexHPnf
