This will be a report on a first Megahouse Business Show that was held on Friday July 11. Megahouse as part of the Bandai group is a toy company that makes everything from plush toys, cell phone straps to mecha toys. It may have been small but there were many new items to be seen. Lets start with the Blassreiter toys. For those who aren’t aware of the series it is one of the most pushed anime series of the year combining the considerable talents of animation studio Gonzo with that of multimedia studio Nitro Plus. It is officialy available on Youtube so if you like what you see here go check it out. Next up is the Moyashimon plush toys. For those who have never heard of it Moyashimon is a popular anime about a agricultural student who has a special power to see and comunicate with bacteria as well as other micro organisms. The plush toys seen here are some of the bacteria and microorganisms characters that are seen in the anime series. Let us introduce you to Doara the hottest costumed character in Japan right now!! The mascot of the Chunichi Dragons a baseball team based in Nagoya he has gone far above being a average mascot and is so popular he has had his own DVD’s and photo books released. Next on the agenda for Doara will be this cute figure that will be released in Augest. Two color version will be released one a unform color worn at home games and the other the uniform version worn on the road. The Megahouse Perfect Piece series is next with two new models on display. The first one will be the White Armed Suit from the Ghost in the Shell series. Will come with the Yausoka Gayle figure. As you can see in the photo the cockpit will open and the figure can be loaded inside the Armed Suit. The second will be the Caramelman #1 used by Mashirito in the 80’s hit manga ”Dr. Slump” Next is the Gundam items. There were two items displayed at the show. The first one will be the U.C. Pilot Colection featuring many of your favorites pilots like Amuro and Anavel Gato. The second will be the Cosmo Fleet Colection Part2 featuring many of the battleships seen in the anime. The Mospeada corner is next. As you can imagine the soon to be released Blowsperior was being displayed. As a surprise what seemed to look like the mail in weapon set for the ride armor was also on display. I can’t confirm it but that plastic thing besides the Blowsperior sure looks like it. Code Geass Knightmare Frames and a lot of them are the next topic. Next is probably the best selling bisyojo title in Japan at the present Queensblade. Originaly a combat picture book game the fact that many of characters were designed by Japan’s top illustraters has made it extreamly popular. So much so that most of the PVC figures of the series sell out in a matter of days making it one of the most sought after items on the market. To answer the demand for more items they are now releasing trading cards and other items and much much more. On to cell phone strap section of the show. Megahouse Excellent Model line of PVC figures are next. Lots of exciting stuff like a Macross Frontier Klan Klan figure and Gundam characters were on show. Capcom characters such as the ever popular Felicia from Darkstalkers were also on display. Last but not least is the best selling One Piece character figure series. While it may not be the most popular thing oversees in Japan it is huge with this figure series routinely selling out. This will be all for today. Thanks for reading.
