Hey there, this is Tomeko, reappearing just after saying "see you next week."
Yesterday, the 49th Japan Model Figure Hobby Show was held, while the typhoon struck us. Its open to public from tomorrow the 10th and 11th (the day after), so lets go if you are interested.
Then again, I had to stay at work!! Anyway, let us share the show's atmosphere. We've placed more photos in the link, so take a look if you are interested.
00 Riser (PG) 
Perfect Grade of the true favorites by the plastic model fans. The price is great, and the workmanship is excellent too. The level of mold and detail to the small parts are just awesome! Due to be released in the late November, I think we could just play with this endlessly for the end of year.
Masurao (HG) 
Forgive us for the lack of photos......
The machine design from 00 has it own unique atmosphere.They take in new ideas, while keeping the Gundam-ness, I guess.
NZ-666 Kshatriya (HG UC) 
.....wow, so big..... The price of almost 5000yen for a HG UC is rather rare, but if you think about this volume, one would think its almost too cheap. Its amazing that it can stand on two feet properly, with such a bold, stern design, I guess this is the greatness of Bandai. The quality of a long established maker, you can see that the skill used is beyond that which is used for just a toy.
RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Unicorn Mode 
Before.
RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode 
And after.
The HG UC Unicorn doesn't go so far as to transform, but put work into the movement to make up for it. There are going to be two types released, before transformation and after transformation, so you could just buy your preferred mode and play with that, or buy both and compare!
Son Goku 
You could say that this is a surprising item to be turned into a plastic model in a sense. There were times in his early days, when he used to say things like,
"Hey, you don't have balls, you must be a girl!". As seen from the biceps and such, they made their pursuit for human movement their selling point. If they make a series of this, I would request characters such as Vegeta, Freeza, Piccolo, and King Nikochan (kidding!). Would be great if they would make models out of Akira Toriyama's creations relating to machines and robots, such as Caramel Man 7.
Scale models and Railway models are also releasing loads of new products.
Ferrari F60 (First Limited Edition : with Etching Parts) 
Here is the new machine that had just been presented for the first time this year. Please enjoy the great change of atmosphere from F2008.
Unitrum various items 
Here is the on-road train set presented by KATO. There is a cozy, yet stylish feel to it, I would say. As this is an on-road train, the body is tiny, but that fact that it lights up shows that they aren't fooling around.
There. So it was a little rushed, but there you go, a light introduction of the autumn Hobby Show. Our company website occasionally add new information and images, so check our site from time to time please!
All right everyone; see you next week (for real this time).
