Treasure Festival in Kobe 2 - Aftermath

Didn't really pay much attention to this event (aside from just checking out the available dealer/sculptor links on the Treasure Festival website).

All-in-all I didn't find any eye poppers, but 3 kits were pretty cool:


1/4 Asuka by Millimeter Modeling

Prototype was on display during the event. The sculptor will be taking orders for her in late November.


1/4.5 Azami ver. 2 by ACCEL (original design by Tsukasa Bullet)

10 kits were sold during the event. Will be available for mail order through his website late November/early December. Retails for 18,000 yen.


Elf-san by Plum

It's rare for a newcomer's kit to catch my fancy, but when it does you can bet I'll search high and low for more info.

Sadly the name was the best I could scrounge up. That and her website.

ooh, that Asuka looks nice, though I'm sure the last update said that she was going to be available in september. Damn delays! Just need to know the price and if they accept international payments.

Wait... I'm supposed to be saving for a trip to Japan! Curses!! Well, we'll see what the price is like first.

Have to say that Treasure festa in Kobe was kinda poor this time around. Really quiet on the kit front and some real duds in there too!

I do like the amount of detail that went into the hair, although I'm not sure whether the sculptor was aiming for sexy or cute here overall.

Man I need to save up very badly so this lackluster event was actually a blessing.

I'm pretty sure he changed her face, he made it smaller so that now, the hair doesn't fit anymore. I quite prefer the old version. I really really wanted her before, but I'm not so sure anymore. She's also HUGE btw.

Maybe it's just the angle?

he changed the pictures on his website, because before, there was a comparison of her with a can..
