unfortunately, there are not a lot of giant monsters that attend...and as far as different angles, there's only so many shots you get when they are right in the middle of huge long tables and you can't reach over the ropes or move the entry

Unfortunately I can't make it this year and have a few I could have brought. I'll be back next year for sure.

This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to.

My wife Christy loved the Nightmare Gamera that was entered. "The Chase" was pretty cool and got some good awards.

Funny you should ask.
I just now finished the pages for the contest room.

Here are the guys in rubber suits that stomp around model dioramas.

Lots of G kits all over the dealers room.
Kaiyodo in various place. Matt even had a few West Kenji hidding under the table.
Sadly, I passed on all of them though :(

My daughter did snag this one from Matt though

First time I've seen a snap together resin kit.

Yeah, our booth was right next to theirs and I got to drool over their kits all weekend! The Mechazilla kit was absolutely gorgeous but I didn't have the extra $$$ to buy it.

Somehow, I think my daughter found the cheapest kit they had.
She got that for like $80

That is the one thing that bothers me about their booth. I wish the prices were on the boxes.
Would make window shopping a bit easier.
