Really dig the Pollard and that's about it. And the Mishka Bootlegs. Would love to get that UNKB 'Brain for $15!

 Re: 2009 TTF sofubi report
Thanks for the report. TTF really has grown bigger and bigger. I need to plan to visit one year. It's just too bad it's so close to SDCC.

glad the AC is working finally! There was just too much to report in one go. 40 shots just for the sofubi...It's 1:00 AM and I haven't got the time to organize everything tonight (sorry about that), but I'll follow up with more tomorrow.

Ah, I thought it was 1500 yen...  I had a hard time believing they would be so cheap!

 Re: 2009 TTF sofubi report
LOL ok cool Ed.
Yeah I just did a quick run through of my shots and didn't see the figure you were looking for. I thought I might have missed it and was going to scour for it tomorrow. I'll try to remember to ask Kenny what's up with the project.

I never did get into the Fulcraim, but I must admit that the DP one is pretty sick.

 Re: 2009 TTF sofubi report
Glad to be of service!
Yep, the purple fellow is a Baaro. I think it's a smaller version of the character. My GF picked up a really cool mini Baaro keychain at the booth. You never know what you're going to see from 8 Style. They're also hosting the Ban Ban sales. Morry is rocking some wild green hair this year!

 Re: 2009 TTF sofubi report
Parts 2-4 (of 5) added.
I'm almost out of battery power, so Part 5 will go up in a bit.
The TxT event with Biskup and T9G is later tonight. I'll be on hand for that too.
After that, 8 Style is hosting a party at a nightclub, with music by a Japanese band. Should be fun!

 Re: 2009 TTF sofubi report
I checked again for you Ed - no sample figure on display, and I couldn't find Kenny to ask him what was up.
