僕が2006年からやって来たフィギュア画像投稿サイトのfigure.fmがミライガイア上で大幅リニュアルしました。今のところは英語版を見ると、コンテンツがよっぽど多い方です。

このサイトは元JALのエンジニア、アマゾンのウェブサイトマネージャー、マイクロソフトのプロダクトマネージャーそして現在MIRAI株式会社の社長ダニー・チューが書いているブログです。詳しくは彼のプロフィールでどうぞ。
いつも読んで頂いている方はこの挨拶を永遠に閉じよう^^;

  That's not the part I am worried about.
  
  I'm guessing most of the winners have amazing cameras, which has almost nothing to do with having figures/Gundam/Dollfies, anime in general etc. And many of them will have amazing Photoshopping skills, just like in that GSC figure-photographing contest.

Might have participated just for fun (not for prizes) if I was on a continent. ^^; But, creativity is not my strong point.

If I was in America, maybe I could have made a battle or something with Nanoha and Fate Dollfie Dreams but I would lack the special effects. Might look silly.

Good luck to all who do participate though. Should be interesting.
