"C3 X HOBBY" is another term for Chara Hobby and todays post concludes the coverage for this year but theres no rest for the wicked as I'm currently scheduled to be at the Tokyo Game Show 2006 to bring you more geek goodness from the land of the rising sun. I'm sure there will be lots of PS3 and Wii stuff there so keep your mince pies peeled around the 23rd of this month.

So we've done this a few times now and I noticed that many folks like to help fill out the blanks. But what if I left them all blank! Would you be able to fill all of them out?!
Let me do a quick summary of just some of these pics.
  • The Nissan car that you see in the GITS booth is the car that was in the movie - some sort of tie in between Production IG and Nissan.
  • "009-1" is a cool looking anime due to air on TBS from the 5th of next month (the official site is crap though).
  • The great looking figures of Motoko that you see at the end were taken at the Wonderfes - I realized that I didnt take that many as I was running about in armor so I added them here instead.
  • Not sure if I've ever released this many images in one post - 54 of em. You may need to grab a cuppa and come back.
  • Kamen rider figures - I've really been into watching Kamen Rider Kabuto on Sunday mornings - more on this soon.

Very interesting, to sell that Tetra 4 shaver and endorse Gundam all at the same time, you get the best of both worlds! Mabye it will teach people that even otakus practice good hygiene.

Sorry, forgot to add the site for that tetra 4 shaving kit.  Basically its a carrying case for extra blades and the handle itself.  There is a small puzzle , if you solve it in time you can aquire some wallpapers.

Kabuto is a must watch, for its entertainment value.

IMO, I will consider it to be the most arty fart rider series sofar with very interesting directing style and symbolism and so on; and yet its downright hilarious at the same time, how can that be? somehow the producers managed to do so.

Lol gundam shavers. (^.^;)>
btw I'm not sure if you've seen this page, but on the 23 Picture, the 1/100 XD-01SR Dragonar-1 custom. I think saw it at http://f7.aaa.livedoor.jp/~mesarion/gallery/d1c/d1c.htm
if I'm not mistaken, I believe it was on auction at yahoo.

I really like that Alteisen (from SRW OG).  I wonder if we're ever gonna figures of it and Weissritter that don't cost an arm and a leg.

On another note, any chance you can add some more SRW OG sprites to the "pick a character" thingy?

CyberSynaptic,
Currently working on some code that will allow you to login to this site to persoalize your own icon besides other things ;-)

Connan,
Will give out some prizes at the end of the year - just need to figure out an automated way of doing it.

Danny, looks like u have risked ur life on taking some of these photos, since there's a warning sign beside some of the models saying "no photos allowed" (in red chinese words)
good job mate!
(ID #39262) Posted on 2007/01/02 01:23
Andy, Danny could take pictures probably since he has a press ID on him... unlike us mortals. lol peace Danny. v(^.^)v

Whee, Danny goes kamen Rider? Xb the SIC line is the best imo (the ones in the pic is the Souchaku Henshin Line). But if you read Hobby japan you probably know anyway ^^;
