Taken at the Chara Hobby yesterday. One of the nicest figures of Gurren Lagann to date.
Unfortunately I wasn't taking notes and didn't pay attention to who makes this - first one to tell me will be credited here ^^;

Update:Thanks to Arekusu who identified it as being by Volks - available in September.

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.

Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.

      It is the same one (other then the fact that E2046's one is a recast) but the pic posted is the unpainted one. There was a painted one right next to it but I guess it's not in the shot.
