Chara Hobby 2007

Chara Hobby is another huge toy and hobby event in Japan. Since it is held so closely with Gundam Expo Tokyo 2007, I suspect that Bandai as one of the participating companies just shifted their Gunpla and stuff to Chara Hobby right after Gundam Expo Tokyo is done. Cheeky as usual, but Gundam fans can still feast their eyes on quite some Gundam related merchandises, particularly figurines ^^

Here are some of the selected photos from various sources reported from Gunota Headlines.


The crowd at the event seems a bit... Image from The Gundam Base Side 1


The well anticipated MG Destiny Gundam, this time posing with the Anti-ship Sword. The display stand seems to be in red. The design of the knee armor seems a bit awkward to me though~ Image from GA Graphic


Full Armor Zeta Gundam? Image from GA Graphic


Promo video of Gundam Unicorn - looks like the After Image effect of Gundam F91 to me. Image from The Gundam Base Side 1


Another screen shot from the promo video of Gundam Unicorn. The beam rifle looks awesome! Image from The Gundam Base Side 1
