“HOBBY★ROCK the FINAL” Taking Place This Weekend

HOBBY★ROCK is a gathering of Rockman fans from across Japan who have converged to sell their garage figures and model kits to other like-minded fans, often presenting product of characters who are seldom-seen, or more popular characters in styles that rarely see any sort of official mass-production.

However, after many years of doing this, it appears that this weekend may very well be the last HOBBY★ROCK gathering. Though I’m not sure the reasoning for this being the end, especially on Rockman‘s 30th anniversary, it seems that a lower-than-normal turnout of product for it may be at least a part of the cause.

You can see the full assortment of items available here, and for posterity’s sake, here are a few which caught my eye:
