Go!Figure 2012
Noted otaku merchandise dealer Toys Logic hosted their second annual Go!Figure event last weekend, at their warehouse in Concord, CA. The event was sort of a mini-convention, with Toys Logic’s warehouse open and doing business, and several tables were set up outside with merchandise from other sellers, which included an area in which individuals…

DetailsSan Francisco Dollfie Dream Meet Sep 2012.
I think we’ve had four meets in SF now. We held it at Tan Tan tea house, which is a cool little location, but we only had an hour there and it turned out not to be anywhere near enough time. We had a special guest for this one, the master Dollfie Dream collector known…

DetailsAnime Expo 2012 Review
Worries about the X-Games didn’t stop the crowds from coming to Anime Expo in downtown Los Angeles this year.

Lots of pics after the…
DetailsFanime ’12 Wrapup
Fanime this year was a really mixed bag, and I think it’s going to be one of those years that a lot of people are going to try to forget. A lot of the issues aren’t the convention’s fault at all, but they still hurt the experience for a lot of attendees. This year will…
DetailsDollfie Dream meet at Fanime 2012
An unexpectedly large group of Dollfie Dream owners and their daughters met up on Saturday night at this year’s FanimeCon. More after the break:
DetailsAfter Fanime
Fanime’s over, and what a con this year. For better or worse, this was a very eventful con. Very crowded, all kinds of trouble with the lines and registration in general. There were some really cool things, though, like meeting up with an unexpectedly large number of fellow Dollfie Dream owners on Saturday night. Another…
DetailsFanime 2012 – Day 1 PM
Long day at Fanime ’12 today, but as usual this con is shaping to be one of my favorites on this coast. The downside for most fans has been the lines for registration. A power outage, coupled with system issues, did quite a bit of damage to Fanime’s registration database, and consequently they’ve had to…
