Dr. Craig Norris joins the SpeakerPODcast Crew on a visit to this year’s Tamashii Nations toy fair. There were a fair few Macross items on display this year, including a YF-19 that might just have a few tricks up its sleeve.

We also discuss the new Macross Delta movie key visual and visit Toho Cinema’s in Ueno to catch Macross Plus and some Macross 7 on the silver screen. All this, plus a new VF-2SS and… Biollante???… on this episode of the SpeakerPODcast!

Tamashii Nation 2017

The annual Tamashii Nation toy show will be held at the UDX building in Akihabara from Dec.1-3 (with Dec.1 being business day and Dec.2-3 being open to the public).
But who wants to wait until then? The power of Bandai’s VF-2SS drew intrepid SNN reporter Adrian Lozano to the scene for a sneak peak before opening. He managed to snap the following gallery.
Bandai also had a Chogokin YF-19 and 1/48is (unconfirmed) VF-1J on the show floor, however photography of these two items was unfortunately strictly prohibited. Keep an ear to the ground for his full impressions in our next podcast.

Plasticmodel Rock Festival & BMC 2017

Two hobbyist modelling events were held today, “The Plasticmodel Rock Festival” and “Baka Modelers Company”. Small, local get-togethers, these events gave local modelers an opportunity to get together and show off both their skills and imagination.

The Plasticmodel Rock Festival focused on met plamo kits old and new, and included some amazing custom kits.

Baka Modelers Company, on the other hand, was targeted more towards military models of real-life aircraft, with a few pieces kits based on popular anime and a LOT of love given to the F-14 Tomcat.

The SpeakerPODcast Crew was on the show floor snapping away like crazy to get the following gallery together. Hope you enjoy them 🙂
