Nendoroid Snow Miku : Fluffy Coat Ver.

Snow Miku has arrived in Japan!!

001

Yesterday, we went to the warehouse to take a look!

All these boxes piled up are filled with Snow Mikus to go to WonFes and Sapporo Snow Festival. I’m glad to see they’ve all arrived safely, so today I’ll be doing a review of her!

003

Nendoroid Snow Miku : Fluffy Coat Ver.!

This is the Nendoroid made each year in commemoration of the Snow Miku sculpture being made at the Sapporo Snow Festival! This year loads of outfits were submitted to the website Piapro, and then the most popular was selected by popular vote on WonHobby TV 10!
This year’s Snow Miku design was submitted by Nanaka! ヾ(･∀･)ﾉ゛
She is a very fancy looking fluffy jacket, and even gems on the ribbon in her hair!

002

This is how the packaging looks!

She comes with three expressions! Along with a number of cute Nendoroid parts to play with! The standard expression makes it look like she is looking around and enjoying the snowy scenery around her! (Personally I love the way her eyes look…)

004

This is how she looks from the back!

Takanon was in charge of the sculpting for this Miku – just look at the way the twin tails curl in! Such lovely sculpting! The snowflake prints on her hair are also beautiful. The previous two years the snowflakes were silver, but this time around they are silver and blue for a little change!

005

Her base has LED lights!

The base is shaped like an ellipse and has three different holes to place the arm to hold her in. That also means you can display three Nendoroids on it! (As long as they use arm stands)

006

The top of the base can be taken off!

The top is also made of a very fluffy soft material – unfortunately it doesn’t come out very well in the photos. 🙁 It also has a few silver bits mixed in to make it look a bit more like snow! Gakkun really put his heart into this little base! The material is quite delicate just like real snow, so do be careful when handling it!

007

Alright, let’s move onto the optional parts!
First up, a smiling face and mike stand!

Nanaka’s spade-type microphone has also been included! You’ll see just why it’s called that a little later on 😛 She also comes with bent arms and bent legs for left and right allowing for some different poses!

008

A worried looking Miku!

A cute, unsure expression across her face with red cheeks! Lovely! It’s so cute I could look at it all day… plus as you can see the mike can be removed from the stand and placed in her hand!

009

Holding the spade with a surprised face!

The mike can be transformed into this spade! Miku can then hold it… but what is she going to do with it?

010

She’ll make a Snow Sculpture of herself!

It’s a Nendoroid Petite sized ice sculpture made from half clear plastic! It’s not completely white as that would just look strange, and it’s not completely clear so that it still has a slightly cloudy, icy look! The production team never cease to amaze me! Thanks everyone!

014

Plus her head and arms are posable!

Unfortunately the hips and legs are not posable so you can’t pose her that much, but at least you can move her around a little bit! You practically get a whole extra figure as an extra!

011

Let’s try the lights out!

The white background makes for a rather bad picture, but the clear Miku really looks beautiful when lit up! You can recreate the Sapporo Snow Festival right in your own home!! If you remove the top of the stand the lighting becomes a lot stronger as well – it’s up to you how you want to use it. It looks best to have the LED lights at the edges of her twintails and her legs.

The ribbon on her head can also be removed, but it does leave a small hole where it should connect on. I didn’t forget to put it on for this photo, I swear! 😛

012

You can also light up Snow Miku herself!

If you want to light up Miku instead of the ice sculpture – it also looks great like that! Snow Miku’s hair is also made from clear plastic so it lights up very nicely! It looks like she is singing on her very own snow stage.

For those that think the base is too big – don’t worry as she also comes with the standard Nendoroid stand which you can see in the photo below.

013

Nendoroid Snow Miku : Fluffy Coat Ver.!

The packaging also has a lovely sparkling effect! A box very befitting of the gorgeous Snow Miku!! The box is the same size as the Snow Miku box from last year – a little bigger than the standard Nendoroid boxes.

Nendoroid Homura Akemi : School Uniform ver.

I’ve been waiting for this to arrive for ages!!

001

There are only 10 days till WonFes!!

I can’t believe it’s snuck up on us so quickly! Time really flies, but that means that we can start to have a closer look at all the WonFes products! If we have any folks who don’t know what I’m talking about, you can find the WonHobby site over here:

http://www.whl4u.jp/index.html

From Puella Magi Madoka Magica:
Nendoroid Homura Akemi : School Uniform ver.!

She comes with three expressions, a school bag and some extra lower body parts to let her sit down! She also comes with extra parts such as a fringe with Madoka’s ribbon, a bow and the wings seen in a key visual! All the parts will work with the previous Nendoroid Homura Akemi as well – allowing you to create an almost limitless number of poses!

This Homu-Homu is a WonFes Product!
That means you can only get hold of her at WonFes, through web sales or for a limited time at the Good Smile x Karaoke no Tetsujin Cafe.

All the information about the WonFes products can be found on the Good Smile Company English website. There is also information on the WonHobby site over here, in Japanese:
http://www.whl4u.jp/products.html

002

This is how the packaging looks!

A huge number of parts, as you can see! Absolutely lovely! There have been a lot of comments stating that the official product photos don’t show enough, so I’ll be taking a much more detailed look today!

003

This is how she looks from the back!

This is how she looks taken straight out of the packaging without any of the extra parts. She uses the standard arm-type stand that connects into her back.

004

Homura with glasses and braided hair!

One of the most common questions asked was which of the legs are included – the legs with black tights or the legs with just socks – they’re both included! In the above picture the following parts are included:

Smiling Expression (Bottom Left of Packaging)

Braided Hair (Bottom Right of Packaging)

School Bag (Top Right of Packaging)

Lower Body Wearing Socks (Lower Middle of Packaging)

The expressions can be used either with the long hair or braided hair – so you can play around and find the combination you like best!

005

The sitting pose from episode 10!

Worried Expression (Lower Right of Packaging)

Braided Fair For Sitting Pose x2 (Center of Packaging)

Legs and Arms for Sitting Pose (Lower Center of Packaging)

Lower Body for Sitting Pose (Lower Right of Packaging)

Handkerchief (Center-Right of Packaging)

Golf Club (Upper Right of Packaging)

The handkerchief looks just like it did in the series – with the cute little cat print design! I also love the way that the feet on the sitting legs are pointed in different directions!

006

She can also hold the golf club!

All the hands come apart from the arm parts so you can switch them around a bit as well. In the picture above I’m using actually using the ‘sitting’ arms with the hand to hold the golf club! So many options between the expressions and various arms and hands!

008
Displayed with the original Nendoroid Homura!

Of course you can use all the parts from this Nendoroid with the previous Homura!

The hair color between the two, is slightly different – just as it was between the two Madoka Nendoroids. This is all based exactly on the original character designs though – it’s not an error! (Although it’s so slight that you almost can’t even tell from this photo :P)

007

Let’s remove all the parts we’ve used and look at the packaging once again! We’ve already looked at so much and yet these is even more to come – not to mention that you could combine all the previous parts in all sorts of different ways.

The remaining parts are made to be used with the previous Homura!

So in a sense, the ‘School Uniform ver.’ is in fact also a kind of add-on pack to the original Nendoroid Homura!

009

Recreate the famous key visual illustration!

Two bent arms (Bottom Left of Packaging)

This lets you pose her in the same pose that the 1/8th scale figure of Homura is in – the pose based on the famous key visual!
010

Posed ready to fire her bow!

Fringe Parts with Ribbon (Bottom Left if Packaging)

Arm/Hand Parts to Hold the Bow (Upper Middle of Packaging)

Bow (Upper Right of Packaging)

Arrow (Upper Right of Packaging)

Some extra parts to have Homura holding her bow, along with an extra fringe part featuring the ribbon she received from Madoka!
012

Wing parts are also included!

These black wings appeared in the final episode of the anime – and are now included for the Nendoroid as well! They are a really wonderful extra for use on the Puella Magi Nendoroid of Homura!
011

This is how the wings look from behind!

They use a lovely gradient coloring effect from clear red to the dark black – a truly stunning design that looks great in Nendoroid size! The wings connect onto the arm stand while it still connects into her back as before.
013
From Puella Magi Madoka Magica:
Nendoroid Homura Akemi : School Uniform ver.!

She really comes with a huge variety of parts – you are getting much more than you’re paying for! I’m certain that any Homu-Homu fans will be very impressed with this Nendoroid! Just 10 days to go until you can pick up yours at WonFes!

But that’s all for today!
I hope to see you all again tomorrow!! (・∀・)ノ゛

Tokyo Game Show 2011

／￣￣￣＼
／　　 :::＼::／＼　　　”It’s so hot…
／　　　<一>:::<ー>。　　 It’s September, but it’s still so hot!!”
|　　　.:｡ﾟ~（__人__）~ﾟj
＼、　　　゜　｀ ⌒´,;／゜
／　 ⌒ヽﾟ　'”‘”´(;ﾟ　｡

Tokyo Game Show 2011 @ The Makuhari Messe!

There have been so many events at the Makuhari Messe recently, that I’ve finally managed to memorize the route from the station to the event hall I’ll never get lost again now! But that doesn’t help the fact that it’s so unbearably hot!! As you can see, I went to the once-a-year Tokyo Game Show event this year on a hot and sunny Monday!

SEGA~ ♪

Arrival at the Sega booth!

“H-huh? There aren’t many people here…?”

Indeed – but that’s because this is still before the event had actually started! The staff is just checking everything is ready for the crowds! I’m actually here to bring a special Nendoroid Petite to the Sega stage!

Project DIVA extend!

Following on the from the hit PSP game ‘Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- 2nd’ comes extend which adds more to the system as well as adds new songs and modules! I’ve been playing the original for quite some time!! （(Although I’m still yet to finish the last level on extreme mode…)

Project mirai!

Today my focus is on this title!

Sega have made a 3DS game using the Vocaloid Nendoroids!! (*ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ *゜・。+ *゜・

This is… this is incredible! I’ve been watching the Nendoroids ever since #00, and to think I’ll be able to see them dancing and singing inside a game is just incredible!

I want to play as well!!

Normally I’m a bit reclusive, but I decided to be courageous and ask the staff! Even though they were so busy with preparations they were happy to let me try it out! Yay!

Al-Alright!!

This is actually the first time I’ve used a 3DS too!
Just seeing Miku on the screen was incredible… but then when I actually played…

ﾟ　|　・　 |　.＋o　　＿＿＿_*　o。 |。| 　 *｡ |
ﾟ　|i　　 |　+　　／_ノ ‘　ヽ_＼
o｡!　　 |!　ﾟo ／　（≡）　（≡）　＼　　　　 “Aaaah!

| ・　　　o ＼　　　 `ー’´ 　　／　*
|o 　　|・ﾟ　　>　　　　　　　　　|　＊｡*　　 |
＊ﾟ　　ｌ|　　/　　　　　　　　　 |　　　　|　＋|

The game is really fun! And the Miku-san dancing in the back is so adorable!

The game is also a music game similar to DIVA, but it does have it’s differences and is fun in a whole new way! Plus it has Nendoroid Miku-san dancing in the background!! It’s really hard to decide whether I should concentrate on the game or rather on the Miku dancing!! 😛

001

This is 3DS Miku-san!

It’s a pity I can’t get the 3D effect to work over the camera, but she is of course in full 3D in the game! You can always simply turn it off through if the 3D effects make you uncomfortable.

All the characters modelling has gone though Good Smile to get the real Nendoroid designs into the game!

The main people at GSC working on it were myself and Gakkun from the production team! They really look like the real Nendoroids!

／￣￣￣＼
／　─　　 ─ 　＼　　　”To be honest, I think they look too good”
／　　<○> 　<○>　＼.
|　　　（__人__）　し　|
＼　　　｀ ⌒´　　　　／
／　し　　　　　　＼

Sega really showed what they are capable of when it comes to 3D modelling! I’m really impressed! The Nendoroid cuteness really comes through perfectly!

016

Nendo Petite Miku’s Debut!

I came by today with this prototype to show at the Sega booth!

She will be included as an extra with Project mirai!

You can find more info over at the Project mirai website!

– Project mirai –
http://miku.sega.jp/mirai/

Eep… while I was playing around with the games…

The show had actually started!

SEGA~♪

I decided I had to take a look around for myself seen I had come out all this way! My HP and MP were full and ready to take on the other booths!

The queue to play Project mirai!

The numbered tickets had already run out… talk about popular! I’m glad I managed to get a game in before the crowds! xD

Giant Nendoroid Miku-san!?

A human-sized costume of Nendoroid Miku also found its way to the event! It was huge! Apparently she will be back even better in the future!

The girls of Kurohyo: Ryuu ga Gotoku Shinshou

I think this photo came out wonderfully! What do you think!? I actually used up most of my HP and MP here…

＿＿＿_

I think I was the only girl in an entire squadron of guys… it look a lot of courage! 😛 But I just had to get a photo for myself!!

Sony’s booth!

The crowds were quite exited about the upcoming Vita! I really wanted to try it myself, but the queues were just too long for me to wait in… what a pity!

Bushiroad’s booth!

There were a load of card things going on, as well as my favorite Milky Girls! Bushiroad really went all out this year!

And that ends by Tokyo Game Show 2011 coverage!

Just look at the image above!

I just didn’t have the HP and MP to wade through those waves of people… just by going to the Kurohyo booth I got a status ailment that prevented me from going any further. 😛

Apparently this years Tokyo Game Show reached the most visitors ever! The game industry just seems to be getting stronger by the day!

Anyway, that’s all for today!
I hope to see you all again tomorrow! (・∀・)ノ゛

Linkin Park x Good Smile : A Thousand Horizons Event!

　　　　　　　＿＿＿＿

　|　　　ヽ　　　ー‐ 　　ｨ　　　← Came along with the design team boss and Gakkun
　|　　　　　　　　　　/　 |

Roppongi nicofarre!

The 9th September 2011 (Friday)
The collaboration event between Linkin Park and GOODSMILE COMPANY called ‘A Thousand Horizons ‘ was hosted at the next generation live house – nicofarre!

The event was a charity event to raise money for those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in the Tohoku region, and featured two separate parts. The first part was a video show that made use of previously unseen video footage from Linkin Park music videos, while the second part was a special art film that combines remixes of ‘A Thousand Suns’ with nicofarre’s unique visual effects! After the show, Linkin Park’s members were also around for a talk session!

Unfortunately I was busy with work, so I was only able to join in from the second part! I had never been to nicofarre before, plus I’m a big Linkin Park fan, so I was really looking forward to it!

A fancy looking gate right by the entrance!

The gate itself was kind of a giant video with fancy visual effects! It was really incredible! The floor was also all lit up creating an absolutely stunning atmosphere to walk in to.

Through the gate was the area for live performances!

It really seemed like a great place to watch a live as well – it was about 1.3x the size of a classroom, and was easy to see the front from pretty much anywhere!

The entire back here is made up of LED lights!

This is the nicofarre everyone is always talking about!
These LED lights showed all kinds of images as well as people’s comments about the event – it really built up the tension!! Akiyama-san here seems to be caught up in it as well! 😛

There was a little time left before the second part started…
So I went to check out the lobby!

Most of the people had already moved into the event hall for the second part, so it looks a little bit lonely here, but trust me when I say that there were so many people in here earlier that it was almost impossible to move around!

All kinds of equipment for the show!!!!

I really wasn’t sure what kind of performance to expect for my first time at nicofarre. Lots of people both from within GSC and staff from other companies came through to help out with the preparations for the event! dwango was a big help during the event!

The sales corner!

This was of course run all by Good Smile! The T-shirts the staff are wearing are the same T-shirts that were on sale at the event!

iPhone4 Cases and BE＠RBRICK!

The iPhone cases had the logo of the event printed on it, and the BE＠RBRICK was a special original design by Linkin Park! They were super popular!

A giant BE＠RBRICK!!

There was also a donation box being held by a giant BE＠RBRICK – a big thank you to everyone who donated!

There was also a display corner!

Just what could be inside the glass cases that the giant GSC-Seijin watches over???

The Linkin Park and threeA collaboration product!

The very first public display of the Linkin Park Bramble! This wonderful model called the ‘WWRp BRAMBLE MK2 GATLING Linkin Park EXCLUSIVE’, as well as the other products mentioned above can be ordered from the Good Smile Online Shop!

Good Smile Online Shop (International)
http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc/

A part of all the proceeds from goods sold at the event will be donated through Music For Relief to aid relief efforts to victims of the earthquake and typhoon. The Music For Relief official website (http://www.musicforrelief.org/ ) is also accepting donations from anyone worldwide. (The actual place to donate can be found here: http://www.musicforrelief.org/page/donate-to-japan-earthquake-tsunami-relief )

Joe Hahn’s illustration!

This was a special message sent to us on the day of the earthquake – your love for Japan really came through in this message and illustration! Thank you!

It’s time for the second part to begin!

Generally speaking, no photography was allowed in the event hall, but I just took some ‘official’ pictures. ^^ The incredible visual effects of nicofarre being used for the first public display of this special remix version!

To sum it up in a few words…

It’s astounding how nicely the sound and video work together here at nicofarre!! Those of you who have a premium account at NicoNico will be able to watch the Timw Shift – it’s definitely worth the watch!

Enter, Linkin Park!

After the special art film had been shown, Joe Hahn, Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda and Phoenix all came out for a talk session! The MC for the event was Chris Peppler! It was wonderful!

Nendoroid Petite: Linkin Park!

This event was the very first display of the illustrations that they will be based on! But what do the Linkin Park guys think of them???

It looks like they like them!

　　　　　＿＿＿_

　／::⌒（__人__）⌒::＼

One of the questions that popped up from them was ‘will the turntables actually turn?’ – of course Gakkun is now confident that he will get them to turn! I knew we could count on you, Gakkun!!

The end of the event!

After this the Linkin Park members came down from the stage and gave autographs to the audience! What a wonderful thing to do, even with their big Japan Tour coming up the next day!!

It’s hard to put into words just how wonderful the event was. I really, really enjoyed myself! I’m also really happy to see people from all over the world helping to support Japan in its time of need – it gives me the courage to carry on myself! If we work to put a smile on everybody’s face, then eventually the whole world will be smiling!

We at GSC will do our best to make more and more people smile!!

Anyway, that’s all for today!
I hope to see you all again tomorrow! (・∀・)ノ゛

But that does mean GSC is hard at work preparing for all the events!

Summer might be coming to an end, but the festivities are only just beginning! This weekend marks the start of two events – with another coming up in September!

August 27th/28th (Sat/Sun)

Animelo Summer Live 2011
＠Saitama Super Arena
A Good Smile Company tent booth will be setup outside the Saitama Super Arena hall. In the booth you will be able to grab both editions of Black Rock Shooter The Game, and various BRS and Madoka Magica goods will be on display. Indotei will also be there to provide some Indian cuisine!http://www.goodsmile.info/post/ja/3155/

009

The Black Rock Curry!
Deadmaster-san, you’re drooling! xD

008

And this is the Kyubey Curry!

Each curry comes with a pin badge as an extra, and only costs 800JPY!

This year will also have Black Rock Shooter Shaved Ice!
Just like there are two different versions of the BRS game, there will also be two different versions of the shaved ice! Last year it was so popular that we ran out of syrup! The day is scheduled to be a hot summer’s day, so do stop by and cool down with some ice!

Plus!!

001

The GSC newcomers will be doing a live broadcast!

From the left, we have Shuu-chan, Sacchan and Tonchan! It’s a bit early for the glowsticks though… :/

And this time they are in charge of the planning and script as well!

I had a look at the script a little back and it looked like a very fun performance, so do tune in for the broadcast!

Above QB is the A set, below him is the B set! They’re both very cute… but I think I’d pick A for the Mami-san!

Above QB is the C set, below him is the D set! Each of these sets will sell for 1500JPY.
Do take not of the following though!

GSC is starting their summer vacation as of today until the 15th. That means there will be no figures for me to play with, but I will be updating with some quick notices! And if I manage to find the time, I might also make some more fun posts that don’t involve figure reviews… This is supposed to be my personal blog, but it feels more like a Good Smile blog now! Ack!

Well then, to all those going to Comiket – make sure you drink plenty of water and look after your bodies, it’s going to be hot!

I’ll see you all again tomorrow!! (・∀・)ノ゛

The Hobby Maker Product Exhibition! (Summer 2011)

The Hobby Maker Product Exhibition!

A special event that’s held twice a year after each WonFes, that allows wholesale stores and shops to take a careful look at upcoming products!

At first the event only featured GSC products, but after a few events, a couple of other figure makers have started to join in at the event as well! It’s very hard to talk to buyers at WonFes – it’s just too busy – so I really think this kind of event is great to hold after WonFes, so that serious buyers can have a closeup look at the upcoming goods and discuss things with those in charge . I went around and did a quick twitcast while I was at the event, but of course I grabbed a couple of photos as well!

These photos include figures from other companies, let’s take a look at everything the event had to offer!

That was a quick look at this year’s Summer 2011 Hobby Maker Product Exhibition!

Thanks to all those companies who put their figures on display at the event!

The things that stick in my mind the most from the event:

・ The Madoka figma series is incredible!
(Homura-chan’s hair band and ribbon have been fixed!)
・ The 1/8th scale Madoka series – I can’t wait!
・ Soniko is so cute!
・ Lots of nurses! My favorite!
・ I’m jealous of whoever thought to make the Onegai! Ranking straps! 😛

All of the GSC and Max Factory figures that featured in the photos will be up on the blog sometime, so look forward to them!

But that’s all for today!
I hope to see you all again tomorrow!! (・∀・)ノ゛

2 Days Left Until WonFes! Let’s Take a Look at the GSC Offices!

GSC Offices 2nd Floor!

Everyone is getting ready for WonFes!!

As soon as the offices get this messy it’s a clear sign that an event is close. 😛

There are just two days left until WonFes!!

Thus the offices are a complete battle zone at the moment…

GSC Offices 6th Floor & Annex!

The sanctuary where all the GSC sculptors work!

One of the sculptors, Akeji-san, was working the whole night, but he had a definite, ‘We’ll win this war yet!” kind of feeling to himself. ^^;

Anyway, here is a quick photo spree of the sculptor’s area just before WonFes!!

All of the figures in these pictures will have some quick final touches done by the sculptors, and then will be displayed at…

The Makuhari Messe on 24th July (Sun), at the ‘WONDERFUL HOBBY LIFE FOR YOU!! 14 ‘ Booth!

If you can, be sure to stop by and take a look!

Don’t worry, you can also get a look at them from twitter! It’s probably a good idea to follow the following accounts:

Gumako General Announcements!
https://twitter.com/GSC_GUMA

Mikatan Goodsmile Products!
https://twitter.com/gsc_mikatan

Second Private Max Factory Products!
https://twitter.com/2tohei

There will also be a Nico live tomorrow!

Although, at the moment the time is unconfirmed… I think it’ll be at around 15:00, but I’ll keep you updated via twitter.

Yet another notice!

There will be a live broadcast on the event day as well!!

Morning to Morning Live WonHobby 10!

You can watch the events of the stage at WonFes right from home during the afternoon, and the evening will be filled with a variety of discussions. It’s completely free, so do drop by and take a look! (It is in Japanese, however :P)

– Afternoon –

http://live.nicovideo.jp/gate/lv56646558

There will be talks with JAM Project’s Hironobu Kageyama, Masami Okui and various other voice actors, as well as a live by the Milky Holmes girls! It’s a great way to experience WonFes if you can’t make it there yourself!

– Evening –

http://live.nicovideo.jp/gate/lv56648029

As a side note, this time the evening broadcast…

Will be live from Tokyo Tower!

I’m serious! Isn’t that amazing!! There were comments passed around saying it should be done somewhere different for once, and somehow that ended up being Tokyo Tower! xD

It is also the very last day that there will be analogue broadcasting in Japan! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

I think it’s strangely appropriate to have an internet based live broadcast to celebrate that day! I hope you’ll come and enjoy the evening with us!

The timetable can be found here:
http://www.whl4u.jp/live.html

But there is still even more news!

003

The new Snow Miku outfit designs have been submitted at PIAPRO!

Thanks to everyone who sent in their designs – there were some amazing ideas! We’ve had a look at all of them, and in the end Crypton picked two they liked, and GSC picked two.

These are the four that were selected!

The 2012 Nendoroid Snow Miku design will be one of the above!

In the evening part of the live broadcast, we will let everyone vote on which they like!

You get to decide which one!

Ooooh! It’s a pity I can’t just pick the one I want 😛 But the one that is chosen really will be made into a figure – so it’s definitely best to let you guys choose! Takanon will be in charge of the sculpting, so he will also be watching in suspense… 😛

You can find out more about the illustrators of the above designs at the link below:

http://piapro.jp/static/?view=2012yukimiku

The voting will commence at around 23:00~23:20!

Don’t miss out on adding in your vote!

Anyway, it’s been a lot of news to take in, so that’s it for now!
