Devilrobots Signings @ TTF
Update: Artist credits corrected. Late night blogging is dangerous ;-) Thanks to the robots for taking it really well.
The 2nd day of TTF has come and gone. In the early afternoon Japanese designer powerhouse Devilrobots took the main stage for a signing organized by retailer Monster Taipei. The event quickly drew a huge crowd. Shinichiro Kitai and Koto greeted a seemingly never ending queue of happy collectors. The waiting area in front of the stage was set up theme park style, snaking back and forth. Due to the overwhelming demand, the line was closed fairly early on and the session still lasted for two hours as Shin signed on toys, program guides and more.
Collectors waited with their prized tofus -- from the TTF '08 Exclusive Tofu (amazing!) to various Smerys and the rare blank mini-tofus from Play Imaginative. One by one each got a chance to talk to the Devilrobots and get signatures and doodles. Later in the day, the Devilrobots held another signing at the Play Imaginative booth which proved to be a strong draw as well. Plenty of pics after the jump.
