Its actually 7pm + 5 hours. Back from another great Tokyo CGM Night.
Came back with some goodies from Kotobukiya including the gorgeous Elmina and an limited edition Black Widow figure with short blonde hair.
Also got goodies from comrades at Moeyo.com.

This time we had a few posters up - some folks even took them home after ^^;
Review of Elmina up soon.

The coverage so far of Tokyo CGM Night is:-

Seeing that Dyson brings up a question, what kind of cleaning technology is there on the Death Star? Sure they can blow up a planet, but can they get red wine stains out? What about vacuuming up Wookie hair? Wookies have to be murder on the plumbing system with hair clogs.

  Probably a Dyson for that reason. "With it's patented wind tunnel technology, it never loses suction, even while cleaning up after your Wookie prisoners!" :P

Looks like you took off your armor off in a hurry due to excitement or something. But you probably did that on purpose I believe.
