And the winner of the Win Nagi Sanzenin’s Money contest is John Kim who got them all right. I will send off their prize on Monday! The contest had 4 entries all together. There were 2 fully correct answer sheets but 1 was out of the US and was graciously entering just for fun. One entry got them all right except for number 10 that was a real stumper. With that one it helps to know Kenjiro Hata is a huge Nobuyuki Fukumoto fan. And the last entry could not identify Saber Lion. I shed a tear for that poor soul. I was amazed that everyone easily got number 4 but I guess everyone who entered was bringing their A game. Still It was very cool that we even 4 entries on such a hard contest and that our readers were high level otaku enough to do so well. I am curious. Would anyone want another contest this hard again?

Well, I had fun trying. So yes, I’d love the chance to redeem myself on another tough contest. :D
Actually, this contest was real easy once I realized that most of the figures were either figmas and/or GSC figures.
Still, Nendo Madoka and figma Sayaka? Man, I really lucked out on that one. ANd I didn’t know Kaiji had his own figma LOL.
