Happy Valentine’s Day! ♡
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
Uhh… all the chocolate was munched down shortly after this! But today I’ve got other things on my mind besides Valentine’s day…. I’m worried about whether or not I’m going to be able to get home with this snow storm!
But anyway! WonFes came to and end less than a week ago, but it feels like it was so long ago already… I’m sure everyone is already craving new figure photos so today I’ll be doing the usual look through the Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition!
What is the Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition?
The event is a special industry-only exhibition run by Good Smile Company which allows dealers and the media to get a close look at upcoming releases from various manufacturers.
Just like last time, the event was held at the Akihabara UDX Building! Let’s hurry up and take a look inside! (｀・ω・´)
– Inside the Event Hall –
There were a total of 26 different companies taking part this year, which was a new record for the exhibition! A big thanks to all of them for making their way through the snow to display their goods! (´；ω；｀)
With so many amazing goodies on display at the event, it was hard to pick what to show on today’s blog! I had to pick myself so things might be a bit biased… but there were some of my favorites!
Let’s get started!

Looking through each others figures while exchanging information with all our close partners – it made for a lovely event! The atmosphere was also so peaceful!
The GSC staff are so busy on the day of WonFes that there isn’t much chance to look at other companies goods, so this is a great opportunity for us! A big thank you to all the companies that joined in at the event!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ
