At the front of the booth, Bluefin was showing of their Chogokin Hello Kitty. Charles, Josh and I got chance to handle this piece and we were really impressed at the weight of this mecha-kitty.

There was also a superb Super Mario display that used the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Mario and his accessory kit.



Next to the wonderful S.H. Figuarts Daft Punk figures, Bluefin displayed the next release in the musically-themed subcategory of the long-running line.

It is Michael Jackson from his appearance in the Smooth Criminal video.
Another upcoming release in the S.H. Figuarts line is the Batman from the Injustice video game. Although it was only a prototype figure, it looked quite sexy in light grey.

So much for Batman only working in black and dark grey. Guess that is only Lego Batman.

There was a fully painted Figuarts Zero Sailor Moon, as well as a prototype of her brainy, water-using friend, Sailor Mercury.

For the proper S.H. Figuarts line, Bandai had 4 of the 5 original Sailor Senshi displayed: Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus. Only Venus has yet to see release.

We also got a chance to check out the replica Moon Stick for the eponymous Sailor Moon.

In the Figuarts Zero line, Bandai displayed 3 Super Saiyans- Goku, Vegeta and Trunks-and a Frieza.



There was also a display of the articulated Dragonball Z S.H. Figuarts.



The big reveal for the anime-themed section of the S.H. Figuarts line was the unveiling of the S.H. Figuarts Uzumaki Naruto.

This was Bandai’s most requested anime character for the line. As Bandai is known to do, they listened to the fans and is giving them their very own super-articulated Konoha ninja.

The character is based of his appearance in the Naruto Shipuuden video games because Bandai wanted the figure to capture the extreme poses that the character displays in theses video games.

In the S.H. MonsterArts dipsplay we had: Mothra, Godzilla(s), Kiryu, Battra, Little Godzilla, Biollante and Gigan.

There was also a teaser sign for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Godzilla from the 2014 Legendary Pictures film

S.H. Figuarts Aliens and Predators.
