Hey folks, we wanted to give a huge THANKS for all the support and comments we've received via our YouTube channel and our Facebook page. As a token of our appreciation, we're having a contest on September 16 - Director Roel Robles' birthday! Instead of receiving presents, he wants to give several away!

The five contest prizes, provided by RokuToys, are comprised of statues valued at $80 a piece: Katsuichi, Gen, Tomoe, Jotaro, and the very elusive Young Usagi statue which was only available via the purchase of the Series One set.

More details to follow here on our official Facebook page, so be sure to check in on September 16, 2014!
