Since I started collecting Nendos lots of years ago, I’ve always wanted these two. For one reason or another, I never could get my hands on them. Too expensive, none could be found, you name it. I cooled off collecting until I spent a few years abroad, where stock was pretty abundant, so I decided to start up again. Same story. These two were just too damn hard to find for some reason.

While I was abroad, I met and married my wife. A couple years later I moved back to the US, and she eventually immigrated. I told her that these two have been on my list forever. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago - Yotsuba got a reissue and I told her. She then told me that she already found one brand new for a good price ordered it, and her sister was shipping it to us.

What she didn’t tell me was that the guy she bought it from sold these two as a set! She is now responsible for all three of my holy grails (the other being Zero from Megaman). She’s def a ride or die ????????
