There s a Gundam mask in that pop culture melange table photo - I bought one like it at Spencer s Gi

Here, in all of its early morning glory, is the line to get into Wonderfest, travel channel Japan's biggest figure and model convention. The first people at the gate had been there as long as 5pm the previous day. Man, it was cold out there! travel channel Later inside, you could figure out who waited the longest on the basis of their cracked and scabby lips.
This was one of the few flesh and blood young girls brave enough to endure Wonderfest. Her dad, manning a Godzilla travel channel booth, looked like a tracksuit yakuza, so maybe she was safe from harm. Still, by the end of the con, she was hiding under the table and wobbling Godzilla's tale around. I am not making this up.
"ShodaiGoji" travel channel seemed to be the most popular design for kaiju fans to choose from this season, with "KinGoji" following closely behind. What the hell am I talking about? If you know, go and take a look in the mirror. There before you is a big fucking nerd.
To wit: The strength of "hypercapitalizzm" is the willingness to expand travel channel markets without much in the way of moral considerations. In other parts of the world, collectors of lolicon and moe figures would perhaps be marginalized as sexual perverts. But in Japan, travel channel they are just another demographic to make a buck off of. End of lecture. You may now shout "moe!"
...and then this gaijin showed up and ruined all the fun and exclusivity of our cool trip to Tokyo! Oh wait, it's just Matt Alt ignoring the ladies, as usual, because robots is around. We also recorded some stuff for a new Hot Tears of Shame podcast that I'll put up soonish.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention...€I was there at Wonderfest with a TV crew from NHK to film a new segment for Tokyo Eye. On top of that was *another* film crew following us around for a "Making Of" special. If I look even more tense and nervous than usual, its because I am standing next to Araki Gentaro, the greatest ero figure maker of his generation. I asked him for an interview and he tried to steer me as far away as possible with his Wave Motion Gun remote control.
Space Battleship Yamato was out in full-fucking force at the con. The high priest of the genre was easily Einosuke Hino who has dedicated his life to making travel channel kits of the most minor Yamato mecha imaginable. His webpage is totally cool too.
The show stopper travel channel for everyone else seemed travel channel to be the one million yen Unit 01 figure. People approached it like it was the crucifix at the Sistine Chapel or something to confess their sins and throw money at.
Over in cell block D, there was an impromptu idol concert held at the massive Max Factory booth. travel channel A bunch of Otage (all singing, all dancing, idol otaku) were doing their stuff. Read the fine print on that shirt. As if there could be any doubt!
Do-It-Yourself travel channel Doller Kits (handguns not included, sadly)! Lifesized anime masks for you and your buddies to customize and wear! Hopefully, these will go on to become the next craze from Japan to take over the world ala Iron Chef and Pokemon!
At first I wondered why people would try to shield their faces, figuring that attendees at Wonder Fest would be beyond all that, then I looked closer and realized one of the people in line was Kenji Kosaka.
There s a Gundam mask in that pop culture melange table photo - I bought one like it at Spencer s Gifts in Cumberland Mall back in the 80s. Still have it, the silver paint is beginning to crack and the elastic band has long since snapped.
Wonderfest looks wonderful, except travel channel for the sex freaks everywhere. No wonder their birthrate is zero, too much crazy porn everywhere messing with their hormone levels, diluting their precious bodily fluids.
ShodaiGoji seemed to be the most popular design for kaiju fans to choose from this season, with KinGoji following closely behind. What the hell am I talking about? If you know, go and take a look in the mirror. There before you is a big fucking nerd.
