Good Smile Live Broadcast Tonight

Need to leave real soon and head over to the Good Smile offices - 50 min drive over to Matsudo.
Got some meetings and am due to help out a bit with translating for Billy Herrington ^^;

The broadcast will start at about 10PM JST (currently about 7PM) at NicoNico - you will need to login to view and looks like they will cut off logins when there are a certain amount of users - I think it went to about 30,000(?) last time @.@

Will try to do some live blogging from the offices.
This photo from a previous Good Smile live broadcast where I was able to take a few DC readers. The pic includes the boss of GSC, Max Factory and a few figure sculptors.
Schedule was tight this time so didn't get to invite you - hope to plan things better next time and bring some of you along.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

This item was posted in the Figures category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

    That is cool Danny. The amount of quality items GSC has been putting out should give a lot of viewers I would have to guess for the Internet Broadcast.

    For a moment, I was expecting Danny to refer to "Billy's son" as his dolphin...
    And poor Kagamin, now she have a stain on his honor.
