Just under 37000 viewers joined us for the Wonhobby TV broadcast that took place at the new offices of Good Smile Company.
That night we had a load of industry guests including folks who brought us titles like Steins Gate, Muv Luv, Vanguard, Fate Zero, Madoka Magica and much much more.

This photo taken at the end of the broadcast at just past 2AM together with Yoshimi, KenWorks, Hisagi and our NicoNico Controller.


After the Wonfes, it was back to base to prep all the broadcasting equipment - today we was going to broadcast on NicoNico and Ustream.


Heading over to the Good Smile offices. Time for some Ridge Racer music.


Arrival at Tokyo Sky Tree - the Good Smile offices are right next to it.


A few snaps outside.




Time to set up all the equipment and experience some of the traditional technical difficulties.




The big boss of Good Smile company Aki Takanori pops in n out throughout the evening.


Each NicoNico broadcast on an official channel involves quite a bit of equipment...





All set but I forgot the mini HDMI adapter...


One of our men rush over to Akihabara to fetch one.







Ustream broadcasting from the Mac - NicoNico from the main camera.


Finally up n running!





Good smile brought along a load of decoration masters for our viewers.


Caption this image.


Insane BRS sculpted by somebody based in the Good Smile Company Shanghai offices.


Speaking to one of the Project Managers. As part of his job, he has to play a load of games and watch a load of anime. While there are a load of characters that he personally wants to make into a figure, he obviously has to make the decision to make ones which sell.


This is Suzuki-san based in the Shanghai offices.


We had viewers from every single corner of the world!
There is a poll embedded in this article.


Aki pops in for a chat on the show.



The boss of Max Factory joins the broadcast!


Aki-san recommends Moekana for your Japanese learning needs!



Just joined us we have Chiyomaru Shikura (Chaos;HEAd, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, Robotics;Notes, Steins;Gate etc), Kouki Yoshimune (Muv-Luv) and Kidani Takaaki (Bushiroad boss).



The boss of Ufotable (Fate Zero, Madoka Magica etc) Kondo Hikaru joins us for some industry talk.


That dish from TariTari!



Signing off - over and out!


Still a few bits n pieces to sort out - Red Bull keeps us going.




Here is a view from the offices that we forgot to show the viewers ><





Meanwhile in the main office, the Japanese broadcast continues.


I was supposed to join this broadcast but didn't make it in time ><




Table full of decoration masters yet to be manufactured.







Quick wander around the office to chat with comrades.






You probably know about the racing cars that come with nendoroids by now.



Ah! Saber getting ready to roll.



Tokyo Otaku Mode have nearly 6 million likes on Facebook!




This work is fun but I tell you it does take a toll on the body. Its not all roses.


4AM - about to leave the offices.






The sun rises on the way home on a Monday morning - yep, I need to be up in a couple of hours to start work again ^^;

It has been quite some time since I bought (or even found) any Clone Wars figure. With Hasbro’s resources stretched thin between all of their lines in production, in 2012 we are not getting as much Clone Wars product as last year and some of the figures shipping in 2012 are re-issued from last year.

You’re smart to be looking for Rage of Bahamut tips, since it’s a competitive game filled with hardcore gamers whipping your face with their stacked deck.  Rage of Bahamut is the “rage” right now in the mobile gaming world, as it’s available on both iOS and Android.  (At a few million users, it is the number one grossing app in iTunes at the writing of this post.)  I’m assuming that if you’ve gotten to this article, you already know the very basic ...

Poppy Parker: The Happening

As mentioned in my April post about the main Poppy Parker collection this year, the mood is Swinging Sixties in London. I managed to get three dolls of that collection and the first one has arrived: Poppy Parker The Happening! 


She's even better than her promo photos! She is wearing a mini dress covered in silver sequins, with a round neckline (that reminds me of ancient Egypt), ending at the back in straps (look further down for photos of it), metallic fishnet stockings, and her accessories include one of the best pairs of earrings I have seen on a doll (silver concentric circles hanging with beads under a "diamond" stud), four silver bangles (that were tarnished almost instantly), a silver clutch (which is her only so-so accessory, looks and feels cheap) and a pair of silver sling-back bow shoes. 


Her hair is pulled up and back in a very long ponytail, with the top puffed up in a very mid-sixties style. The hair is treated with product to make it stay put and wavy. I know some people had problems with greasy or over-treated hair but mine looks perfect. Her make up is very mod: light blue eye-shadow, black eye-liner, applied lashes and almost nude shiny lips. Her eyes are purple but do not look unnatural.


There is nothing not to love about this doll, except that awful clutch and the tarnished bangles. Almost perfect. Now I'm even more giddy anticipating the next one coming. 


And how small this world really is. As I was preparing this post, a very special lady I am following on twitter, Penny Calder, posted a photograph from the special 50th anniversary issue of British Vogue, from mid October 1965. I found the whole spread, with model Donna Mitchell photographed by David Montgomery,  from that issue in this gorgeous website and I think this is pretty much the inspiration for Poppy's outfit.


So below is a series of Poppy's photos specially treated for your pleasure. Hope you like her as much as I do.

Japan Plastic Food

They are a part of Japanese daily life and help us make decisions when choosing what to eat - plastic food samples! They are traditionally displayed in shop windows - shop owners would send in photos of their dishes to a factory where they are rendered in plastic form - plastic has never looked so tasty!

But did you know that you can buy then for yourself too? As part of the Japan Mode filming, we went to visit a shop called Maizuru in Kappabashi where folks like you and I can go along and buy some plastic food samples.


To get to Maizuru, get off at Asakusa on the Ginza or Asakusa line and walk to the following location.
東京都台東区西浅草1-5-17
Nishiasakusa 1-5-17, Taito-ku, Tokyo
[gmap=35.712225, 139.788625]


The Kappabashi area is filled with shops dedicated to kitchenware - great for those who cook and who run restaurants too.





*everything* you see in this shop is made of plastic!



How about a plate of fly lice? 6,300 yen



If you are a doll owner then this place is very dangerous - expect to leave with heavy damage to wallet-kun.







"Tokyo Sky Tree Tempura"
























Felt so hungry after filming so dropped by Tokyo Sky Tree for some nom noms - and take a gander at more plastic food samples ^^;










Not food - but so cute that you want to eat it.
