Here is a Flight Attendant from ANA of 1956 along with the other uniforms of the movie Happy Flight. I never saw the movie but I do like the figure's figure!











Some Olympic スーパーボール/Superballs from Coca Cola.






Some cutesy memo paper.











Some penguins from Aqua.








A couple of cool looking traditional characters. I honestly have no idea what they are.






A Panda spoon from Kirin tea.











A little Panda phone cleaner.











Little リラクマ/ Relax-Bear baggies.

Time for me to Relax and go to bed!
