Winter Wonder Festival 2012 Garage kits

After the somewhat disappointing summer event last year, it looks like there was feeling of a return to normalcy for the winter event. Lots of new kits and a larger variety of characters on display. In fact, there wasn’t one show which dominated the dealer floor, though Haganai had a strong showing as did Madoka [...]

Summer Wonder Festival 2011 Garage Kits

Wonder Festival came and went like a gust of wind this time around. After the events of March and Kaiyodo announcing that they would not be assisting sellers with acquiring the one day licenses for licensed characters, it was known for quite some time that this event would not be as big as previous ones. [...]

Arc System Clash @ Gamerbase Trocadero

On Saturday, I attended a small Q&A event in central London with guests Ishiwatari Daisuke and Mori Toshimichi. For those who don’t know, Ishiwatari was responsible for the Guilty Gear games and Mori is the producer of the Blazblue games. The event was intended to allow a number of guests to ask the 2 some [...]

Winter WonderFestival 2011 Garage Kits

artsook me a while to sift through the load of photos from my usual sources of GK photos. In the end, I actually asked for a fair bit this time but I was sure that I wasn’t going to get everything. Sure enough, Tokyo Hunter was only able to get about half of what I [...]

Saber Lily Unveiled!

Volks have updated their Wonder Festival page with a new shot of Saber Lily in COLOUR!!

She definitely looks much better in colour than when she was all grey and the face looks much softer with a little colour. But something still feels off… I think it’s the lips!

Yeah, Definitely the lips. [...]

Just another Post…

As is the tradition of this blog, the first post of the year takes a look back at the animes and video games of the past 12 months, Momotato style! And, after another look at the titles, the top 5 anime shows of the year are chosen. These may not have won the best show [...]

Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds heads to the distant world of LONDON!!!

OK, bit of a lazy post this week but one worth shouting out about.

I’m not sure how many readers are familiar with the Distant Worlds concerts. I’m sure most of you are, but just for the few who are not, Distant Worlds is a concert held around the world where one gets to [...]

MCM Expo Winter 2010 & Loot

Everytime the MCM expo comes around I tell myself that it’s not worth going to, and everytime (for the past few events) something drags my ass to the expo anyway. This time, I offered to speak to a Vinyl maker who was at the event on behalf of tomopop. That eventually changed to a brief [...]

Summer of Spending (Oh dear…)

Seeing as I received a rather large order of items a couple of weeks ago, I figured now would be a good time to post up my Summer 2010 haul. Not that there was that much before as I haven’t been buying much until chara hobby, which takes up a large chunk of both the [...]

At Last! Colour images of the Volks 1/4 Bayonetta!!!

After all this time and far too much teasing, Volks have finally released colour shots of their 1/4 scale Bayonetta!

Not too shabby! I do think that this kit is better than the cerberus project offering but the face, while having an appropriate expression, looks a little off. The absolutely stunning level of detail [...]
