    Probably not a big enough fanbase for sunguts to warrant the trouble.
    I have found it super easy to order from one-up. I've ordered several times and just communicate via google translate.

    I need one of those Gold King Joes in my life that Bullmark had, such an amazing figure. Is it the same size as the big B Club one? Looks like it. also, an M1 Kanegon please!

    Andy's usual thorough and thoroughly excellent report is up over at KK. Here's some of my favorites:

    Mmmmmm, giant Bockle and bitty Taigon!

    I'd like to get a closer look at the swag rack on the left!

    Love that US Toys Baltan set, but what a price :shock: . So sweet that they brought back the classic Bullmark-style paint on that Goji. Looks like such a massive beast! Thanks to Andy for the great coverage as always.

    For stuff that hasn't been mentioned already, how about these clear Garys with the light up option?

    Although this green guy would have had my money in an instant.

    The expression on Garamon's face is hilarious. Absolutely incredulous. "I am not believing!"

    I've actually seen those two on Nerd One's instagram/flickr, so I think that he at least sculpted them?

    Konami Man is actually NerdOne. NerdOne's been working on the guy for awhile. Check out his flickr page/

    PARALYZING TOYZ is what I think the booth is called or at least something to that extent.

    Well you shouldn't have that much faith. I could be completely wrong. :D

    Nerd One booths were labeled as Paralyzing Toyz for unknown reason - probably because they loaded 4 makers into the space. Change has been made to KK.

    Not sure if people realize how difficult it is to cover an event that size in a single day.

    Really? I think everyone realizes how much hard work and coverage you do. If they don't they're an idiot.

    Good stuff as usual. So were all the gargamel resin sets released? Mark said he was sure they weren't. I saw them in the photo and thought there were.

    EDIT: Got my answer from the other post you just did.
    Thanks for clearing it up.
