What a weekend! I can't say the weather was the best, but sofubi wise, it was as good as it gets. First, on Saturday, there was the Le Merde Misty Fog event at Thrashout.
|
Mike gave me some cool buttons, and I picked up a Le Merde mini verse resin figure and filled a couple of holes in my Gargamel micro collection. |
I followed that up in the evening with an all you can drink festa at the Koenji Watami. 999 yen for 2 hours, and about 30 drinks to choose from. Not too shabby!
More after the jump:
Then on Sunday, despite the ongoing dismal weather, I checked out the Marusan exhibit in Harajuku on a hunch, and that turned out to be fantastic.
|
Picked up a great Ultra P book, with photos by Marusan's President. |
A couple of inside shots:
After that I headed to Akihabara for a bit of toy shopping.
|
As luck would have it, I found a gorgeous Marusan Girara, from their insanely cool crystal line. |
|
Girara digging a bit of Homicide. |
Finally, that evening, I headed to Aoto, where there were some great new offerings at Shinto Gangu.
|
Picked up a few goodies there too. |
If I was a recovering toyaholic, I'd say not only did I fall off the wagon over the weekend, but I stumbled off the road, down a hill, and straight into a drainage ditch filled with sofubi. Lessez les bons temps roulez!
Wow! What a weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe pearl/iridescence
on the Marusan Girara
is captivating.
Absolutely. The line has got a ton of other great figures, including Godzilla, Megalon, Baltan....
