AFA2008 Exclusives

November 16, 2008

afa

Anime Festival Asia 2008 has just updated their site earlier with the addition of news that most of us has been waiting for, the Exclusives. You can view more of the list of items Here.

To tell the truth, I kind of disappointed with the range of exclusives listed, atleast for now. So far they are geared towards Gunpla collectors and also Tokusatsu fans. I’m not saying it’s bad or anything, but I’m hoping, since there’s still 1 week left, they will revealed more. Maybe they won’t list all the exclusives on site, hopefully.

Come on, don’t disappoint me ( > _ < );
