Just got back from the Good Smile offices. While I cant talk too much about the meeting right now, I can show you just a handful of photos.

You've already seen her before but Char Rhouseman looks fantastic in the flesh - I remembered to ask how her name should be spelt ^^

She comes with interchangeable clothing parts for a full blown cast off (kind of ^^;)
Just stuck this one in the wallpaper pool.

BTW, if you want the latest Good Smile info including release dates and pre-order info, get yourself along to Good Smile's site and stick your email in the top field of this form. You will then be sent announcements directly from Good Smile. Info is in Japanese but just click on the links when the mail arrives.
When you are bored of the announcements, you can unsub using the bottom field.

Looking at my face has been known to cause sea sickness so the Mirai mark is to my aid.
But the main point of the meeting wasn't about Char...

I cant go into details regarding the meeting until after the 15th of August...

Anyway, Good Smile have invited me back to their offices on the 12th of this month for an event being attended by figure industry folks. The first three hardcore Good Smile fans to mail me at [support at dannychoo dot com] gets to come with me. You obviously need to be in Tokyo at the time ^^

Meeting with a 'figure company' with images of Mirai.....

Anyone else care to hypothesize why Danny was there?

agreed,

Mirai figure methinks, given all the art strewn on the table.

In any case, I'm still weighing my options on the first 2 shuraki boxes. I'm trying not to worry too much about the 3rd yet...

Only one thing comes to mind when Mirai vists a figure company with Danny...

I liked this figure, Char Rhouseman looks very well made, noticed you took photos of the figure at the office did you bring her home after that danny?

When Danny visits GoodSmile with a portfolio full of Mirai designs and art, we can expect only one thing; this was inevitable, seeing as there's an anime on her coming out, if my memory serves me right.

Akiraman: I'm pretty sure Char's an original figure; they release these along with an artbook and character CD, if I'm not mistaken.

Any chance you can ship me over to Tokyo to go to the goodsmile offices? I can.. er.... talk them through the aestetics of the Mirai nendoroid 3d model i did. Yes. That sounds like a good excuse

Char looks great by the way, but i dont think id buy it. Im already drowning in a sea of plastic, bare legged ladies, so im resisting anything that doesnt tickle my 'buy' senses immediately...

Great connections Danny, I can see that probably next year we'll have a Mirai figure by Goodsmile or another company like Kotobukiya. You seem to be a shy character since you don't like to show your face very much in the blog.

Wow, seeing that figure up close through the magic of photography makes me realize how moe she is. However, I am afraid that I can't contribute to your poll. The reason being, the wrong Char pops into mind leaving me unable to select an option >_

but what is shuraki ^^"?

are they basically a figure making company? (seen some trailer/ movie--> looks more like a game or something relating to that field)

シャキー, Shuraki is the anime where Char Rhouseman is in.

GSC did an excellent job on Char. But I don't think I'll preorder her, I'll wait and see how the actual production figure will look.

Nendoroid Mirai...how sweet! Definately a must have for me, she will be a major success for sure!
I just hope they won't sell her exclusively via the GSC online shop (just as they did with the blue eyed Mikuru from Max Factory), because I can't understand a word of that site. ^^"
