# Staryu (Japanese) #012 — BW3: Psycho Drive

## Summary

Staryu is a plain common in Japanese BW3: Psycho Drive, the sort of bulk slot that fills a binder page rather than anchoring a pull. The art puts the tan starfish against a sunlit city street, with hanging flower baskets and tall buildings behind it, all in cool blues. It reached Japan in September 2011, months before the English Next Destinies set carried the same Staryu in February 2012. The modelled guide sits at $1.41; no PSA population is on file.
