High Grade 1/144 G-Exes Preordable now!

Only thing that bothers me is that Woolf's Trademark is not on the shield, though for anyone that buys the HG 1/144 Genoace Custom(That is also ordable now), then you get two marks, one of which could be put on the Exes. It may even be in the box, for all we know.

Voice Actress, Singer Michal Friedman Passes Away

Wife of voice actor Dan Green AKA Yugi Moto of Yu-Gi-Oh and Asuma Shinohara of Patlabor the TV series
ANN confirmed on Wednesday that singer/songwriter and voice actress Michal Friedman (Michal The Girl) passed away on November 25. Friedman died from complications after giving birth to twins by cesarean section. Friedman's twin children were born healthy.

Friedman played roles in various anime, such as Esther in Mobile Suit Gundam UC and Paya (cute version) in Magical Witch Punie-chan. Friedman's website notes that she played Seisei in Samurai Deeper Kyo and various roles in The Gokusen. Friedman also voiced the role of Annalise in the new Speed Racer: The Next Generation cartoon, and she also voiced Tune in the animated television series Winx Club....

Friedman was the wife of fellow voice actor Dan Green (Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Yugi Muto, Sonic X's Knuckles, Samurai Deeper Kyo's Kyoshiro Mibu).

A memorial service for Friedman was held in New York City on Wednesday afternoon. A website has been set up where visitors can donate money to help with the immediate expenses needed to raise the twins.

After about two or three false alarms, hopefully this one goes through. I've seen other places have it coming for the US on the 1st of Feb as well so take that how you will.
