That's not a Gashapon, just a statuette. Gashapon are those balls that come from toy dispensers

And nothing new for me, but the new MP Convoy and Jetwing Optimus Prime look fabulous. I'll have to look into the Real and Chronicle EZ Collections for Thundercracker, Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Yes it is: Yuki Oshima.

Wow that green optimus is abysmal.

And I'm actually surprised that a woman designed those kiss players bots. Now it's not as bad... I think

Actually, a good portion of given Japanese names are gender neutral. And I'm pleased to tell you, it's a guy.

Hey, I love freaking people out

I've seen a picture of the guy. I'm happy to say, he's as creepy looking as you'd think.
