Also from the current Good Smile Company event, we've got some fuzzy pictures of upcoming Nendoroid Sheryl Nome! We previously saw her unpainted at Miyazawa Model Expo, and now she's all bright and shiny.
Despite the fuzzy image quality, I think she looks perfect! I can't wait to see an official preview and check out her extra faces and accessories, and perhaps even a look at the prototype for her pal Ranka Lee.
Natalie was gushing about this upcoming Animal Crossing: New Leaf Nendoroid back when she was shown off as an unpainted prototype, and it looks like she's already painted! I haven't played the game, but I hope that fans will enjoy the look. I think she looks pretty darn cute, either way.

You know how roommates often have little squabbles about things like who was supposed to take out the trash, or who ate whose food from the fridge? Well, this is what happens when two roommates take out their aggressions toward each other over a game of Magic. Let’s just say things get heated rather quickly.
Also, as soon as I’m done typing this I’ll be on my way to my local game shop for the Dragon’s Maze pre-release. Anyone else going? Let us know in the comments and tell us what cool cards you got!

Are you in need of a kanji poster to stick on the wall so that you can absorb the lingo even more? If the answer is "you bet" then you would be in luck because you can get your grubby mitts on this full color first grade kanji tapestry wall scroll for free (0yen) with any purchase of Moekanji from the AmiAmi website.
Furthermore they are taking pre-orders of Moekanji for 1,960 yen which is more than 500 yen off the retail price. The rock bottom low yen right now also makes it a great time to buy.
This photo is of the material sample that arrived the other day. The real version will have bars at the top and bottom just like this for you to hang it up.
A closer look at the material. This is the list of kanji which covers the first grade - learn from the cards and then from the scroll too. You can do what I did when I was learning Japanese - I had one in the toilet so that I could do my mineral deposit and learn at the same time ^^;
Size of the tapestry is about 33cm x 14cm and features the illustration of Mirai Suenaga by Koizumi Amane-sensei and Moekana/Moekanji illustrator Ikkyuu-sensei.
Remember - this tapestry is free with all purchases of Moekana only from AmiAmi!
If you still dont know what Moekanji is then read all about the Japanese kanji learning product.
If you are not bothered about the tapestry then you can order from any of the following trusted online retailers.
Thanks to everybody who has already pre-ordered Moekanji - over 10,000 pre-orders so far!
I hope you enjoy learning kanji from Moekanji just as much as my team and I enjoyed developing it.
My previous Japanese learning product Moekana has been selling well of late too - I think its because you need knowledge of Hiragana to be able to learn from Moekanji. Another reason is probably because folks would rather fill up their order with something decent before its shipped.
You can check out more about Moekana here.
Iron Man 3 [アイアンマン3] came out in Japan yesterday and I'd thought I go and see it with a few readers at Kawazaki Lazona. Posted a note on Facebook and folks from America, Malaysia, Germany, India, Netherlands, Canada and Singapore came along. Was great to meet so many new comrades!
As for Iron Man 3 - was pretty awesome packed with a load of scenes that give you the "I wish I was Iron Man" feeling ^^; I do occasionally check up on Ebay but have never been able to find a decent looking suit that you can actually move about it.
I've loved the Iron Man series since the first instalment and have really enjoyed how the suit evolves through each movie. The new suit is awesome but I wont spoilt it for you by saying more as I didn't see any of the new capabilities in any of the trailers. Japanese trailer below.
Bits which I enjoyed from the movie (clips can be seen in the trailer) is when all the poor souls fall out of the plane and when the zillion variations of the Iron Man suit appear on the scene. If you liked the first 2 movies then I dont think the 3rd will disappoint - just make sure you stay until the end of the credits!
Clear Files are all the rage in Japan and they were handing out free Iron Man ones to everybody who watched the movie. If you are wondering about the Iron Man Nendoroid in this photo - details here.
There is a poll embedded in this article.
One thing is for sure however - Hot Toys are going to be busy producing the zillion types of Iron Man suits that appear in the movie and it looks like they have already started.
