Well, California has anti-SLAPP laws so this could go very bad for the former VPs. Especially because if GS truly is guilty of tax evasion, those two probably participated in it. I took a look at this company Imaginary People Inc and it's not doing much right now, though another company called Super Nice People LLC has the same address and authorized agent. Probably nothing but found it interesting. I think that's what the former VPs are hoping for. Reading through the comments of the articles, it seems people lean more heavily that these guys are revenging rather than seeking justice. Though it is worth keeping an eye on to see if knowledge of this lawsuit spreads to other media outlets. Doubt it though unless it's a slow news day.
Or a re-election year, I think a certain amount of government officials in the 90's jumped hard on the somewhat-similar video game controversies at the time solely to up their own poll numbers.
I won't go further into this because it skirts the line of one of the rules here, but that's a good point. Ultimately, I don't see the news of this going out further than what it is now. Yeah, that one is a bad mess for so many reasons. Yeesh.
Yay! After about three years since her debut, GoodSmile is making a Figma Alice Synthesis Thirty! figma Alice Synthesis Thirty (goodsmile.info) Might get the figure if I manage to get an original or Alicization Kirito before then.
And I'm glad I can skip her goodsmile shop exclusive accessory lol. If it had been her actual breaking the seal eye/expression, that would've been some shit... But it looks to just be when she regrows it and it's briefly red so is totally skippable. Still can't believe it took this long to get to her! But I'm relieved she hasn't been forgotten and I ordered her SO fast.
Really like the shiny paint and cloth cape, but it would be a pain to go back and get the other characters as Alice by herself won't really fit on my display. Also quite hard to fit in my current budget.
FINALLY, BBTS has notified me that they'll soon get my MMC Vos and Kaon in stock, which means I should be able to ship my POL at the top of next month. Which will include Figma Iowa.
Good Smile Company/Max Factory, I will never forgive you for not making Erica Hartmann or the rest of the witches. But damnit... My first five star will also be the first Genshin Impact Figma. And I need this so badly.
Well shit, goodbye wallet. Here come's my new figure collecting hole, after the Overwatch series ended. Wonder how they're going to handle weapons/accessories in this series? Go with their "canon" weapons as per their summon arts or trailers? Or a bit of a grab-bag, just so that they can do a lot of the different weapons in the game?
WONDERFUL HOBBY LIFE FOR YOU!! 34 Cool stuff I’m familiar with. Cool stuff I’m not familiar with. The End!
Maaan.. really tempted by Mejiro McQueen at least, although having both her and Gold Ship would be so cool, not sure I can afford both.
I was most interested in Yankee Musashi but that mysterious samurai figure (I've no idea who she is or what franchise she's from) is quite impressive. Just noticed the dates of the event too. Japan just lifted its state of emergency travel restrictions and I might've been interested in attending but other things came up. Bad timing, after all.
