While I'm stuck indoors working on the DC to MG migration, Akibahobby-san is out n about taking a load of pics for us at the Gundam Expo being held at Tokyo Big Sight this weekend (last day tomorrow) - check out his pics which include this 1/35 scale GFF @.@

Speaking of Bandai - keep your eyes peeled at figure.fm for an announcement on September 1st. Ugh. Hate having to keep all these secrets to myself.

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.

    I must confess. As nice as the Gundams are, I would have liked to see some company announce that they are making a Lieutenant Matilda Ajan figurine.

    I mean... How can you have a Gundam event without even honoring her? Didn't her sacrifice and the impact it had on the characters in Mobile Suit Gundam mean anything to them after 30 years?

    Oh well... If they made one of her, and it looked good... I'd buy it without a second thought. :P

    Dear Someone!!!

    Im collecting the Gundam RX-78-2 gunpla models, and when I say collecting, I really mean all of them... I was unable to go to the Gundam Big Expo because of work, but a friend of mine went and he should have bought the 4 RX-78-2 models that were there. But I have lost all contact with him and no idea what's happened. I leave in Japan, and if anyone knows where on the internet (most likely in Japan) were I could find those 4 models, either auctions or straight up sales?!?!

    Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated?!?!?!

    Thanks everyone...
