I’d Love to See This
Wow, saw this link to a Princess Tutu by BUBBA while browsing the AoD Forums. Can’t believe I missed this from November, but I can’t wait to see her finished: Hope it gets a PVC. It would be my most prized figure…I’ll probably never get my wish though. I seriously hope those who are going [...]
Short Tandokucon Report
During the drive up to Philadelphia for Tandokucon on Saturday, we kind of expected a lot of disorganization with this being the convention’s first year. It really wasn’t that bad.
