Treasure Festa in Ariake5

Ossu! Hello,everyone. Welcome to Netageo, Web TV covering the events on the Japanese pop-culture from Tokyo. Today we'll talk about figurine with Treasure Festa 2011. I'm pretty stuck on cars, however we talk about figurine. Anyway you'll see. "Treasure festa" is an event where professionals and amateurs sell figurines,dolls and scale models. This event is organized by Griffon. Here are some figurines. There are old toys like the first models of Robotech or the Knights of the Zodiac. Idol autographs and photos, old magazines. But especially garage kit sold by individuals. Garage kit is a scale model kit of figures for example. Here is a figurine of an individual in process. it will be the basis for making silicone molds to make parts of the garage kit. A garage kit requires much work. because the parts are in raw state after be demolded You need to sand, drill and paint ... But don't worry. Some dealers sell completed figures. Of course the price is different, but looking at the result, it makes you want it. There are many original figurines of famous characters. For example, this figurine of "Tsubasa Hanekawa" of Bakemonogatari. So pretty. Kuroneko from "Oreno imohtoga konnanikawaii wakeganai" which attracted many people. Right next,there was Love+ figurine. Treasure festa is a true treasure mine. which attract many gold miners. Everyone is waiting quietly opening of the event. It will soon open. Each one brandished the catalog required for entry. Despite organizer's call asking not to run, fans rushed to get figurines and garage kits that some will be sold in minutes. But calm returns quickly, because everyone respects the rules so that event goes in the right mood. Immediately after entering the room, I spotted some nice cars and babes. Obviously I was attracted by an irresistible force. Three "contachs" very flashy, decorated with Swarovski. Around these cars girls dressed in different cosplay. I approached one of them, and I said very politely Hey miss,you're lovely! You have phone number… I mean, what's that booth? She explained that the booth is specialized in Swarovski. And they decorate figurines to make it a unique piece. And I discovered this huge sparkling Gundam. Creepy. It is a crazy work, they stick the Swarovski one by one by hand. Each stone is bonded with a glue that match its color. And for more brilliance, they use stones of different sizes. For example,this watch is only used Swarovski of same size. This model of evengelion is used different size of stones. At Treasure Festa there was a class on creating figurine. The today topic is how to dress and style figurine. First,using a special paste called pate,you cover the model. A bit like the clay, you give shape to clothes and hair. After put it in the microwave oven to harden the paste. Here the work of a professor. ok for students …. yes,but it's not easy. Treasure festa reserves other entertainment like a treasure hunt. This little chest was hidden around the show. Sometimes sticked on the staff. Depending on the value of the treasure found, they give you 2,3,or 5 rings. and a stamp. because you can participate only twice. Then,you can try to throw these rings to retrieve lots. I would liked to play too but I was busy doing the journalist .... There was also an auction for Tohoku. The lots were supplied by the dealer at the event. Here are some pictures. Since its origin, Treasure festa participates in charity movement called "Peace Earth", which includes funds for mine clearance in Thailand, Cambodia, and the foundation of school. Tea was served free in this space. The idol group, Alice Project was in charge of the service. Each wrote little messages, inviting people to access their blog or promote their CD. Alice Project has actively participated in the animation of Treasure Festa. To know more about the group, please check our site. This show is really full of original figurines of exceptional quality. Difficult to believe that it's a private work. Unfortunately,to get them you must come to the event. I know, this is not the next door. Here are few pictures of the show just for fun. That's all for today. I hope you made discovery. For more infomation, about Tresure festa Please access to www.netageo.com I'm always waiting for your comments. See you soon. Sayonara.
