Here are the rest of the photos from the show minus 3 figures and a particular series - will post that tomorrow.

The show had a ton of vehicles on show too - I took loads last time but figured that most of the readers here are not really interested in vehicles that don't have legs ^^;

One of these pics is of the Bandai factory - didnt have an appointment so couldn't go in to look at all how they make Gunpla. Bandai do have tours of the factory but you have to book a few months in advance.

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.

Haha. The samurai Gundam really makes my day.

Btw, there have been videos over the internet on how they make gunpla over at the factory. Think it was a Japanese TV show on youtube but it got removed due to terms of use violation.

Awesome photos, and i never knew Tamiya went to those things..i guess they are a model company xD

I prefer building Mecha because the whole giant robot genre is just too cool ^_^ But i also have a Tamiya car, its alot of fun to drive around when the road is quiet ^_^

I really would love to have that giant Gundam Mousou in my room, but i don't think my parents would be best please xD

That Marui Type 89 airsoft rifle looks delicious (heard it has a burst mode), but too bad they're illegal in my country.

A lot of my attention is towards things with legs. ^^; Hmm... that statement could be perceived as sick or kinky... ^^;

Seriously, I do enjoy car models and R/C cars, I'm a big auto racing fan. So I do enjoy pictures of non mecha items. Thinking about YMT-05 Hildolfer a a project. It has been a while since I built a tank model.
