A wide range of books, figures and accessories are available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1476\" src=\"http:\/\/tripmacchiato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/WACKO08.jpg\" alt=\"WACKO 08\" width=\"1000\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tripmacchiato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/WACKO08.jpg 1000w, http:\/\/tripmacchiato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/WACKO08-300x186.jpg 300w, http:\/\/tripmacchiato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/WACKO08-768x476.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span lang=\"en\">There are a lot of such figures!
