I'm at the Chara Hobby right now in Makuhari taking a load of pics of all the Gundams and Figurines. Will upload the coverage in a few hours.
In the meantime, you may want to have a gander at the previous years coverage in the Chara Hobby category. Video from last year below.

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 Japan category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

I'm looking forwards to those photos- thanks for taking the time to snap them, and also to show them to all of us who can't make the show (but sure would like to).

  That's a resin Full Armoured RX-78 gundam. you'd be able to buy a finish kit at e2046 but it'll cost you $400usd. ^^

      lol 400usd is a lot of money for a gundam kit, but look at it this way, it's a piece of art. ^^ true, you can get the unbuilt resin which would be much cheaper, but painting resin is a pain. and without the skill to paint resin kits you might just end up wasting money on the kit and paint.

      Yes, It's expensive for us..
      But I agree with marvin.
      Resin kit is an expensive stuff to start with..

I don't know what it is about Gundams that make me want one. I haven't ever watched any episodes.
