Special Electro "Super Janken Man!" on Rakuten

[Chumsize]

Well... This isn't exactly YJA, but Rakuten. But our friend Juno can handle auctions/purchases here just the same as YJA.

Anyway, this one looks quite special... ¡Ú³ÚÅ·»Ô¾ì¡Û¡ü¡üÃæ¸Å¥ì¥È¥íÂæ¡ü¡ü¥¸¥ã¥ó¥±¥ó¥Þ¥ó¡§Ãæ°ì¾¦»ö

Janken (aka. "Rock, Scissors, Paper") Man. Appears to be one of those mega-rare "Special Electro" Nishijins.
Check out the flimsy outfit on SJM's adversary. This appears to be a somewhat daring game of Janken.

Try as I might, I couldn't find any videos of this one... Any way, its 59800 yen, which would probably end up near $1000 shipped. But as rare as it is...

Note that this seller has some other pretty nifty units at some much more reasonable prices. Especially like the "Heaven's Bridge" hanemono.

I bought my Tekka Baaba modern via Rakuten/Juno last month. No issues. Might even have been this dealer...

Very Cool! Im really interested in what makes this one "Special" ( I can barely make out three glowing numbers in the yaku,looks like 1,2, and 5)
Thanks for sharing


Also,the Heavens Bridge machine is quite interesting,I found a machine last year that seems to be an updated modern version of that cell and yaku design,
just with a completely different theme,
it's called "iyami no kokodeichihatsu" (try saying that three times really fast)made by Daiichi in 2005
its based on a old manga and anime series called Osomatsu-kun (おそ松くん)
Heres a pic: Iyami%20cell.jpgand Heaven's Bridge for comparison: 1995October%2520Heaven%2520Bridge%2520board[1].jpg

and last but not least, a video of the Iyami hitting a jackpot

That seems like a cool vintage / early modern.

Too bad it is way overpriced.

wow, this is really cool. Does any one know how i could buy that? Is there maybe someone who can speak Japanese and possibly order it for me?

[Chumsize]

Hmm... just looked at the original seller's spot - "no inventory" - so its gone. Oh well... if the time comes you want to order something from japan, there are a couple good services you can use that handle it for you. Search here - there are some posts about them. My favorite lately is "fromjapan.co.jp"

[bonsaimaster1]

i see... Oh well. Thanks for the site as well. And another thing. If you or me are able to find another machine in japan and i was interested in buying, who would help me get the item? Plus how would i pay? I am so confused!

[Chumsize]

Check out fromjapan - They bid on / buy tems from Yahoo auctions japan and many other services. The general method is that you pay them, they buy the item and have it shipped to them by the seller, and then they ship it to you. Read the site... it has all the details.
