In honor of it’s 8th anniversary as a store, Star Case in Koenji debuted their first foray into soft vinyl.  Space Black Robot (宇宙ブラックロボ) is a pretty awesome toy that combines some recognizable characteristics with an interesting aesthetic.  Overall, it’s a nice toy, and appropriately, quickly sold out.  Good news, though.  The next release will happen towards the end of November/early December.  When asked if Star Case would take international orders, I was told that as long as customers can figure out the shopping system in Japanese, they can pay via Paypal.  Star Case’s online store can be found here.
