Seven days. That's all you have left after starting to read this story unless, of course, you share it with somebody else who reads it (just make sure they ACTUALLY read it, because sometimes people lie about watching... errr, reading just to see what happens).
Sound crazy? Well, it's not as crazy as the news that Bandai will be making a S.H. Figuarts version of Sadako Yamamura (US: Samara) from the iconic Ringu (US: The Ring) horror movies. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Friends, it's no great secret that your ol' buddy, the Scarecroodle, loves Asian horror whether it be the highly addictive Tales of Terror from Tokyo and All Over Japan to the Korean war horror R-Point or even the supernatural anime Ghost Hunt (why? Why is there no second season?!). While Ringu (as well as Ju-on...) has never been one of my favorites, it'll be exciting to see Sadako in an articulated format just for all the creepy scenes you can reenact (please, Bandai, include a tv!). You better believe that we here at Tomopop will be looking around like crazy for Sadako news so it doesn't sneak up behind us.

Here's the story behind "Elmer's Little Boy"..... My sister-in-laws parents who are in their 80's recently had a yard sale because they were moving into a much smaller house. Elmer (my sister-in-laws father) had an old plastic kewpie doll that had previously belonged to his deceased sister that he had kept I think in his toolbox (I might have that wrong).
