    I recently wholesale ordered a box of the new Meijin's from Japan.
    These are the new JKA kendama and from what I understand, they're the new version of the TK-16.

    Some are spoken for, but I should have about eight or nine of them available for purchase.
    Asking $29, including shipping to North America. Right now the only way to wholesale, and the shipping from Japan is very pricey.

    I honestly don't know what to expect but I was gonna have to pay $50 for shipping one anyway so I figured might as well get the first twelve over here.

    comment below if you want in!

    Excited about this! Curious what changes/improvements they might have made. Hopefully the bevel is a bit bigger. I mean seriously, if TK's had a decent bevel and a stripe I would play them all the time.

    Count me in. If you are also in LA we can skip the shipping and I'll just pick it up if that's ok @Cheech_Sander

    Could someone take a comparison pic of the seals with this and an OG mugen? Colour vision deficiency sure doesn't help right now HAHA

    Hey everybody, theyre here!
    They look pretty sweet. Visibly different from the mugen seal in person, but not by much. More blue than teal.
