K Fes 2004, sponsored by Kodansha, is on in Tokyo this weekend, and there was very little new product shown, and very little new product announced. But there's always a few things to be learned from just about any toy show.
  • Robot Masters Star Saber, Victory Leo, Big Convoy, Road Rocket, God Ginrai, Star Convoy, Predaking, and Leo Convoy may be coming.
  • Takara is learning how to put together a display.
  • The SD Archive series will have panel lines.
  • The Popynika Cyclone looks as good as the SOP, and costs a bunch less.
  • Bandai doesn't trust Tetsujin to stand up.
  • Nosey people find more pix on ZP.
  • Chrome versions of Captain and HWS Captain are coming (like the horrible gold thing on US pegs)
