C3AFA TOKYO 2017, Japan’s largest character and hobby event, took place on August 26th (Sat) and 27th (Sun) for two days at Makuhari Messe in Chiba.
Several of the latest Gundam-related products such as Gunpla, figures, Shokugan, and apparel goods were announced at the event and special stages were also held.
Furthermore, the C3 Market, where kits that were limited to that day could be sold, used a same-day copyright system and took place on the 27th, making each day a huge success.
We will deliver a report on this event jam packed with highlights separated into a first and second part on Gundam Info. In this article, the first part, we will introduce the Bandai booths.
