2012 Winter Hobby Maker Expo: Fewture ModelsFewture Models didn't really make that much of a splash at Wonder Festival but perhaps that was because much of their items they're working on presently are already up for pre-order. No such restrictions at the Winter Hobby Maker Expo though! In addition to Juohmaru, Fewture Models showed off more of their figures for Ougun Kishi GARO. The figures are mostly based off the first season of this Tokusatsu show but with a 3D movie released at the end of last year AND a sequel currently wrapping up in Japan, perhaps it's not really any surprise that we're seeing a small resurgence of GARO stuff! We also get a closer look at the EX Gohkin releases of the vehicles from science ninja team Gatchaman and the next mecha release which will be God Raideen! FADE IN!!!! We also have some shots of the poorly named Blue Jet from Machine robo (There's next to no blue on him!!) but the highlight for me would have to be the set of the mecha from Gaiking: Legend of Daikyu Maryuu. I've been waiting for a good rendition of the combination of all three mecha, known as Gaiking the Great, for a while. There was an amazing version released by Studio Halfeye a while back but I think everyone would wince at the pricetag of well over $1000! Luckily, the Fewture Models version is a little more affordable (if chibi-fied)! Man, I want Gaiking the Great!! [thanks to Tokyo Hunter for the photos] Did you know?
