BOOTH INFO
As usual, the booth will feature a huge variety of brand new figures for fans to enjoy - from the latest painted prototypes, to unpainted newer works and even simply new product announcements! This time around we will be introducing a 'No Photo' time which will start from 16:00 and last until the end of the event. This period will allow more fans to come by and see the figures without the huge queues of others trying to take photos. If you do wish to take your own photos, please be sure to come to the booth before 16:00.
We will also be running the popular 'Nendoroid Expression Challenge' from noon until 16:30. Here you can purchase a blank Nendoroid expression for ¥100 and use the various tools provided to draw your very own Nendoroid expression. You can also of course just take the blank expression home and create a new face plate in your own time! (Please note we will not be running the digital version of the expression challenge this time.)
Other booth highlights include Gumako coming by to celebrate the Good Smile Company 15th Anniversary as well as 'TOON WORKSHOP' and 'KOTORI loves.' corners for earphone fans to take a look at the latest releases - including a special collaboration between Good Smile Company and Steiff - Mohair Earphones!
Good Smile Racing will be taking place with their own booth showcasing various team items as well as Racing Miku goods sales. There will also be a cycling wear corner where you can see the latest in the GSR Gear and Aurora Cycling Wear series!
