More variations of the banner is in the works, so currently these are the only ones available for now. Feel free to use them~( ^ _ ^ )/

The wait is over…again!! ^^;
This new “Figma Tohsaka Rin Plain Clothes Ver.” from Fate/Stay Night series, is finally ready for reservations. Rin will be available this coming August 2008 by Max Factory and will be retailing for 2,300 Yen. Hobby Search is taking pre-orders for her as of today.
Yay~!! Been waiting forever for this since Wonder Festival 2008 Winter~( ^ _ ^ )/
Some nice random gunpla facts & figures ^^
Nikkei Business Online has been posting a series of discussions with Bandai Hobby Division‘s Deputy General Manager & Bandai Hobby Center chief Katsuhiko Sasaki. The second one focuses on his work as a manager and the people who support the Gunpla market.
– Development of a plamodel takes 120-150 days from design to shipping out. They plan on optimizing this to 100 days.
– The plamodel market exceeds 50 billion Yen in value.
– Said market is such that even 10-year-old products can be manufactured and sold with repeated demand. The ratio of sales for new products vs. old products is roughly 50-50.
– The people who buy Gunpla can be largely divided into two groups: 14-year-olds who purchase them because of their interest in the newest Gundam on TV and 35-year-olds who’ve been fans since First Gundam. Gunpla has been particularly sustained by the latter.
