In line with my recent mention of the Hi-Nu Gundam I feel compelled to introduce you to MASKED BAKUC. He's a chap at Bandai who's now writing an Engrish blog about pretty much anything (though he's meant to be covering Gunpla). The blog itself is called "Blog of the Soul" and he, apparently, walks around in the mask you see to your left (he even surfs in it too).

He's even included a higher resolution image of the mask so, that's right, you can make your own. In his own words: "Everytime I go to overseas to spread GUNPLA culture all over the world. Please please this image download and wear this aaaaaand popularize supreme GUNPLA culture with me! Stand up, stand up, run fast as the same speed of LIGHTING and make a modelkits! Inspire your soul of GUNPLA!"

I can actually taste his enthusiasm. Bandai Games needs to take a leaf out of Bakuc's book (and wear masks). I am sure that would improve their creative output.
