MegaHobby Expo 2012 Spring: The iDOLMASTERHey guys. MegaHouse had several figures from The iDOLM@STER on display at the MegaHobby EXPO. I know, I know. Just act surprised, okay? A large catalog of the figures and variations from this simulation and song series were on display with not much new for the future. In fact, the only new figure to be seen was Chiihaya Kisaragi who looks to be working on her magic levitation trick. For other recent additions or variations, there's the Scarlet Sprite ver. of Haruka, the Vital Sunflower ver. of Yukiho, the exclusive version of Hibiki, and the Princess Melody ver. of Iori. Of course you can find Miki, Makoto, Yayoi, and Takane among all the ladies on display. Even if The iDOLM@STER is not your thing, do any of the ladies or their outfits interest you? I know I have my eyes still on Ritsuko even if the outfit is something I'm not 100% behind of. [Thank you photographer Ramon McGlown with Tokyo Hunter for the coverage!] Did you know?

If you're in New York City, you can do that on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Eastern at Kidrobot New York (118 Prince St., SoHo, Manhattan). As for what he'll be working on ... I'm not too sure. But you've seen his work before, and I assume he'll be sculpting out/painting something just as impressive for the event.

9:15 PM on 05.15.2013 Shizuoka Hobby Show: Master Grade Gundam 3.0It was just announced yesterday and I wasn't thrilled by the news. It's just what feels like Master Grade Gundam #47. There's a reason why it was made though and Bandai had to prove that today. With what looks like a 1/100 sc...

I didn't think I'd be able to make it, but Mamitan delayed it by half an hour so I was able to get in on the action. It's over now, and there was a lot of good information divulged. Mamitan said she'll return later to answer more questions, but for now you can see a summary of the thread after the jump.
