We’re back with Part 2 of our Cx3 Hobby report. All pictures were taken on Augest 31 at Makuhari Messa. To see what you missed on part one click here. http://www.over-drive-inc.com/overdrive-blog/info/1303.html Let’s begin the second part with a look at some of the larger companys that we missed on part 1. Good Smile Company and Max Factory are up first. The main attraction of the Good Smile Booth was the Hatune Miku Figma figures that were being sold at the event before it’s official release a week later. As you can see from pictures the booth was covered with Hatune Miku. A Miku splatered Good Smile sponsered race car that is actually used in domestic races was put on show. Next is the Volks and A-Zone booth. Both are famous for their very popular dolls. Volks is also famous for being one of the pioneers of mass producing and selling resin kits. The Macross Frontier Itasya made it’s appearance at the show. The fifth picture is of the small pack of tissues that was being handed out at the booth. The two giants of the Japanese hobby magazine industry Hobby Japan and Dengeki Hobby were also there with booth right across each other. They were both displaying the model kits that were customed made for their magazine articles. As for what it was like inside a few pictures. It’s not really super crowded like the Wonderfest or Comike unless you happen to run into the crowd at the Seiyuu events being held but still a fairly well attended event. They was a playable version of the newest Super Robot Wars game as well as the new Macross PSP game. There was even a AKB48 sighting there. Seven of the girls were there to put on a small concert at their booth three times a day. The fanatic fans who were there to see them were camped out in front of the booth doing their stuff the whole day. The strangest thing that was found at CX3 Hobby was bar none the Military Recrutment Booth. For some reason the JSDF (Japanese Self Defense Force: for those of you who wonder about thing like this we’re actually prohibided by law from calling them the army) chose to have a booth at a hobby event and try to recruit new soldiers. They were offering to let anyone try on a uniform and sit in the seat of a Hummer and take pictures. There was also repotably a 30 minute training session with a real Sergeant screaming at you held on the first day for those who were brave enough to register. In the end it ended up being another spot cosplayer could pose at but it kinda looked weired when the military personal started taking pictures too. This wil be the end of our report on C3XHobby. Hope you enjoyed it

As September 15 is a national holiday we will not be in
A business show was held by Yamato at the TFT building in Ariake on September 4th and 5th. The main attraction at Ariake that day was the huge Tokyo International Gift Show with over 200,000 visitors that was being held at the Tokyo Big Site that day. Using both halls it’s so large it would probably take a whole day just to walk around and see everything. The show by Yamato was held near the Big Sight to attract the many people that would be attending the Gift Show. The main topic of the business show was to explain the concept of the GN-U and MMB (Moe Moe Blocks) toy series. While the GN-U series has already been released and is well known the MMB series was explained for the first time. Lets take a look at the GN-U-Dou presentation first. The first major announcement was of the VF-11 Thunderbolt and VF-19 Excalibur the two store limited version GN-U-Dou that will be released in December. To be painted in the color pattern seen in the PS2 game “Macross VFX2″ it was announced as quote “The first of many limited versions”. Next Yamato outlined their plans for the GN-U-Dou series for 2009 and how the series would evolve next year. First to answer the demands for more extra weapons and parts, a extra weapons and parts set for some of the earlier models will be released early next year. Also a much asked for display base that can hold the toys up in the air will also be released next year. Finally it was announced that from the models that will be released from April of 09 that a improved torso unit would be introduced which will improve the twisting ability of the torso considerably. At the end the release schedule for the first half of 09 was revealed. Six new toys, two display stands, six weapons sets and two limited versions are scheduled for the first half of 09. The GN-U-Dou VF-1S (Roy Focker Ver.) from “Macross: Do you remember love?” and God Sigma Gravion from “Gravion” were also both announced for a spring of 09 release.
Part two will be the presentation on the new line of toys the MMB (Moe Moe Blocks) First the concept of the toys. The toys are designed so that all the parts from any character is interchangable. They will be highly poseable and affordable. It will be released in two lines with the bisoujo line to be called “Angel Device” while the military line is to be called HAB (Hyper Armored Block). The Angel Device line is to be released starting in November while the HAB line will start shipping in early 09. In the end we were all allowed to take pictures of the products and ask questions. The box of the store limited GN-U-Dou’s were put on display for the first time. A still in development version of the GN-U-Dou VF-1S mentioned above was also seen but was off limits to any photography.
The improved torso unit mentioned above can be seen in the picture on the far right of the second row. The one seen on the right side of the picture is the body with improved torso unit. The picture on the right corner of the third row shows how the torso will bend better.
