Trip to Ying Ge / Ying Ge に旅行します。

Yesterday a few of us took a trip to Ying Ge - a town famous for its art and especially pottery. Not quite kaiju related, but I thought it would make for a good post.

昨日、私たちのいくつかはYing Geに旅行しました。 それはその芸術と陶器で有名な町です。 それはおもちゃに関連しません。 しかしながら、それが良い記事であることを願っています。

Cronicは来週のSuper Festivalに出席しないでしょう。 したがって、今日、Cronicウェブサイトで3つの新しい数字を販売しました。 すべてが8分未満で売り切れました!

Cronic Maverasu Checklist / マーベラスのチェックリスト

Here is the Maverasu checklist. This is a visual checklist, so I'll add photos beneath each version. Over time, this list will fill up with photos, so make sure to check back from time to time.

I've done this in visual list form since I think it's interesting to see photos of many versions together, which lets you see the different styles that Koiwa-san works in, as well as an "evolution" of the figure over time. For easy reference (so you can print it, save it, etc.) I've also added the full list (without images) to the bottom of this post.

As with the other checklists, I haven't included one-offs. Release event/venue info + release dates are given. Again, if you spot any missing info or mistakes, please drop me a line!

ここに、マーベラスのチェックリストがあります。 これが視覚チェックリストであるので、私は各バージョンの下で写真を加えるつもりです。 時間がたつにつれて、このリストは写真でいっぱいになるでしょう。 時々、もう一度それを見てください。

私は、多くのバージョンの写真を一緒に見るのがおもしろいと思います。 それで、あなたは小岩さんの異なったスタイルを見ることができます。 また、それは数年間図の「発展」を示します。 また、容易に参照できるように私はこの記事の下部に完全なリスト(イメージのない)を加えました。

リストは"one-offs"を含んでいません。 リリースイベント情報と公開日を与えます。 どんな誤りも見るなら、私に言ってください!
