Gundam Guy @ Shizouka Hobby Show 2013

Gundam Guy @ Shizouka Hobby Show 2013 
I arrived to Japan late last night.... and got a few hours sleep before hopping on an early shinkansen (high speed railway) from Tokyo to Shizouka.  The ride was a bit over an hour and the train was quite crowded.
*Here is a shot from my seat's window view*
The Shizouka Hobby Show this year feels a bit more crowded than the previous year.  Perhaps everyone was excited about the MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Gundam 3.0.
Katsumi Kawaguchi sensei was once again on hand to answer questions about bandai's products.  I went over to say my hello again... and took another image with him.  Is pretty cool meeting him once every year.
For those that have a problem with my censored head... do apologize... camera shy.
Eventhough I am still fighting jetlag, I was quite excited to see all the latest & greatest gunpla kits on the showfloor!   Well, we will be posting more images from the show and let them do all the talking....

    3. I'm pretty sure they haven't shown "everything". We will probably still see a couple new things that we haven't even heard abut yet still.

      The Shizuoka Hobby Show 2013 is from May 16 ~ May 19.
      Today is May 17 and it's 3 AM. They still have stuff to show on the 17th, 18th, and 19th. I don't think they're just gonna show everything all at once.

      If that was the case, then why would they span the show for 4 days? >_>

    1. I think it's just that Gundam Guy trains at over 9000x earth's gravity force on a daily basis while in Trans-Am mode 24-7. It's probably why he looks buff. He might be so buff that we can't even fathom.

      That or maybe it's from all the lifting of massive boxes they receive probably on a daily basis..LOL

    2. He's hot... It would be sad if he was just straight, gay guys at the gym would fall for him like crazy, it's okay GG, if you ever decide to show your face, you should do it shirtless :))))))

  3. ^ lol, that's what I was thinking.

    Really though, I was expecting at least one MG announcement, aside from the 3.0 Gundam. . .

    2. Bandai would love to do PG Unicorn but until they find a way to bring down the cost, no one will buy it.
