GM Sniper
I found my self starting to drool after looking at the coolsome weapons that come with the up n coming release of GM Sniper out at the end of September.
I personally prefer this over the GM that came with the GFF RX-78 Ver Ka - the colors and the tons of weapons do the job for me. Folks in Japan can get theirs at amazon for 3,630 yen.
Speaking of Gundam - get ready for a week of coverage from the Chara Hobby toy event held next Saturday/Sunday in Makuhari - 3 huge halls filled with toys n figures. This years theme is "Robot festival". Looks like there is also going to be a Ghost in the Shell booth there too. And yes - unlike the previous events like Wonder Festival - there will be a ton o Gundams.
Expect the coverage on the week of 21st August.
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.
