(Roger notes: Despite the bold proclamation of the header card, I only got 143 of these TOYS, but they sure as hell are FUN. They’re actually hard plastic copies of old Clover Gundam erasers, which to me is just an indicator of how THE MARKET is anticipating demand for anything associated with “keshigomu classic rock” [because they DO rock, and you KNOW IT]. Don’t let Bandai find out. Shh!)
