    Is that a Figma or an ActSta in the lower right corner there? Just curious.

    Also, can't wait to see the painted Figma Mirai! I'm under a moratorium on spending, but if she gets released I might have to make an exception.

    Good luck with this. I think there will at least be people there for the drinks.

    This sucks, if only the show was hosted 2 months ago when i was in japan lol. Also disappointed i didn't get to see a completed odaiba gundam (saw only a pair of legs) when i was there...:(
