Yup, that's right, I found my grail in Japan!!!

Behold!! It's the 3D poster of "Fist of The North Star"!!

This was produced and released a couple years ago along with the new OVA movie.
Based on the poster of the movie, this piece of art is shockingly beautiful and nicely done, in fact it's one of the coolest collectibles I've ever had in my whole life.
It's a 1000 pcs limited edition, so damn hard to find that I've only seen it once on website for preorder and no one's been selling it since then.

I've never saw this piece in person till this trip to Japan. I met up with my dealer and it was in his store on disply. He's been keeping it for himself for years but I knew I HAVE to have it.
And he finally said yes right before I left Japan, he said for the sake that I'm all the way from U.S. so he figured I might never see this piece ever again.

He gave it to me for 8000 yan, about $75~$80 USD, it's almost a steal for the quality of this piece, no joke!

My cell phone camera is pretty bad and it does this piece zero justice, but will at least give you guys an idea what this piece looks like...

So here's the outer box:

This is the COA and quality guarantee with the signature of the original artist of Fist of the North Star:
