Does anyone know where they are manufactured at? Japan? China? somewhere else?

Thanks

I believe they were made entirely in Japan with custom-made clothes and accesories. Not too sure. That's why there are only a 1000 of them.

I certainly hope so, thanks for the answer....

Goods made in China have a 350% tax here.. wouldn't like that to happen with this, you can imagine what happened with the Innocence Collectors Box Doll....

True, judging that these babies go for so much on all import and export stock prices, and like johnny said there's only 1,000, you'd expect the best quality in these babies, and not made in some cheap Chinese/Taiwan sweat factory with errors and paint smudges. :D

I would say it is a matter of luck (though I don't believe in such thing) and what shipping method you used.
