Character Series

The masterpiece kit of the past has been revived in a special edition!

And although it is not a kit, I found a new product "Diorama Clay" that I am very interested in.

I was allowed to touch a sample diorama made with this clay, and it was lightweight and strong! I have a feeling that it will become an indispensable item for diorama production!

Next time, we will finally be back with the final installment of this series!

There are still many items to look out for!
