Supanova 2012

After the roaring success of last years Supanova I battled through the rain last weekend to attend this years event! I found that this year had less cosplayers however it was much sexier there were so many slave Leia's there! Counting on the top of my head at least nine! I can not believe my failure this  time I bought my camera but........... I left the battery at home fortunately there is still the camera on my phone!
This year also had more quality stores however being a seasoned anime goods buyer now I dont rush to buy each and everything I like any more but there were items that did catch my eye like the Sideshow Iron Man helmet set

The stands also involved some intense brick art!

And for the cosplay!

and the best for last!

What did they do to you Lelouch??!!!!

LOL whoever decided to dress Lelouch in a Willy Wonka style suit has got some serious issues, it looks kinda creepy :P Whatever they were smoking I want some.... The Kallen looks hot though.

Iron Man USB

I just bought myself one of these! Chrome surfaces 8gb and flashing LED eyes! Iron Man awesomeness!

Kotobukiya Bishoujyou Asuka Kazama

Tekken is up there with Street fighter a clear pioneer in the fighting game genre. My brother is an absolute Tekken nut with a pending release of his favourite character I'm sure this one will get him good! I originally had this slated as a birthday gift but unfortunately it wont arrive till August! I guees you will need to wait bro!

Riobot Vs Revoltech- Gurren Lagann

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is one of my favourite animes. This is probably the first time I came across a company releasing the same thing in such a short time frame. The Revoltech will be ready by June and the Riobot in July.... So which one will I be parting my money with? Based on the prerelease photos and information here are the two products.

Riobot

Revoltech

The Revoltech seems to have less inclusions but I find the addition of the core drill to be very neat! However I am all in for the Riobot the details, colours and inclusions are a notch higher than the Revoltech and Im totally for all the drill bits and little inclusions! However based on price alone the Riobot is more than three times more expensive than the Revoltech so I'd expect that kind of detail!

The Revoltech will cost 2980 Yen (June release) and the Riobot will cost 9800 Yen (July release)

Chougokin Daijurin

LOL My second super sentai related post! I was a child in 1993 when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers became a global phenomenon. For the uneducated the Power Ranger series is created largely from the footage from the previous years Super Sentai equivalent i.e. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was created from Zyuranger

So enough said a pending release has got my inner child running in circles... so many fine memories the NOSTALGIA!!!

Presenting the upcoming Chougokin Daijurin or as I know it the original MEGAZORD!!!

Akibaranger

Akibarangers is coming soon. Unlike previous sentai installments this is an unofficial parody restricted to 15 and over. Pretty much from what I gather an ecchi, funny series in the making I will be keeping an eye on this one!
