[UPDATE] Surprise: Persona 4 D-Arts Jiraiya announced[Update: Now available for pre-order] Well, here's a pleasant surprise: the next D-Arts Persona figure is going to be Jiraiya, who still kind of looks like a weird ninja Mickey Mouse to me. Jiraiya placed high enough in a recent poll in Persona Magazine that Bandai's decided to go ahead and make it into the next D-Arts entry in the Persona line. Not a surprise, it's poseable ... and that's about all we know from the pictures provided so far. Jiraiya is set for a September release at ¥3,675 and is listed on the Tamashii Nations website. Now since there seems to be a pattern here (Thanatos-Protagonist, Konohana Sakuya-Yukiko, Izanagi-Yu), should we expect Figuarts Zero Yosuke soon? PLEASE HAPPEN.

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...

10:00 AM on 05.13.2013 Combine two great tastes in one: Gundam models and curryIf there is any dish I love, it's curry. If there's any object I love, it's Gundam models.
