BEEZ EXPO blog entry + 4 New BEEZ licenses to be announced!
Once again – London MCM Expo time is upon us and boy do we have some exciting news for you all!
First off the bat let’s talk about what we’re doing at London MCM Expo on May 29th and 30th:
Gundam Unicorn – UK Product Launch:
We apologize for the delay in the launch of www.beez-shop.co.uk and to make up for the delays we’ve put a few things together for the launch at London Expo.
Firstly the voice actress behind Marida Cruz (Tara Platt) will be attending the Beez stand for a signing during the Saturday for an hour – we’ll confirm the time of this later. There’ll be flyers to be signed at the event or why not bring along a new copy of Gundam Unicorn to be signed?
Not only this but if you buy Gundam Unicorn BD 1 at London Expo you’ll get a limited edition post card pack as well. There are only 60 sets though so first come, first served!
Signings – Geass and Gurren Lagann!
With both Kyle Herbert (Kamina in Gurren Lagann) and Yuri Lowenthal (Simon in Gurren Lagann, Suzaku in Code Geass) then you can rest assured there’s an amazing chance to get your favorite Gurren Lagann merchandise or a poster signed at the Beez or our good friends at Manga Entertainment’s stands!
Buy Gurren Lagann at London Expo and get a free A3 poster from us as well!
Sales sales sales!
We’ll have our usual stickered deals at the event! With Anime Legends going for amazing prices including the latest Anime Legends releases like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Not only that but we’ll have the Sword of the Stranger BD and an assortment of other goodies for people to snap up.
License announcements!
We’ll be announcing several new licenses at the event, something old, something borrowed and something new. One of them you certainly won’t guess either and marks the beginning of something new!
Not attending London Expo? Then don’t worry – we’ll be updating the blog on the Saturday night to announce some of the new licenses we’ve acquired since Tokyo Anime Fair!
We’ll be making the announcements at Expo as part of the Industry Panel with our friends at Manga Entertainment and I believe MVM at 11AM on Saturday.
One thing is for sure – this year’s London Expo is going to be something else completely!
Since we tweeted it, I thought I’d post back the clues here as well for people to look at. As I said before, we have 4 licenses to announce this time and below are the hints:
Anime license 1 and Anime license 2 are related but are traditionally Beez-style titles but not of a school-based variety.
Anime license 3 is one that Andrew, our head of acquisitions has been asked about ever since he started work at Beez (he’s been with us for over 5 years).
Finally Anime license 4 is one that is very hard to guess. It’s not a Bandai title nor is it what you’d expect for a number of reasons.
Here’s a tricky hint for anime license 4: one of the key creative staff in Super Milk Chan is in charge of this project & it’s pretty new!
We’ll have a blog post and twitter announcements after the Industry Panel at 11am on Saturday the 29th as well for folk :).
To submit your guesses just sign up for Twitter and follow us via www.twitter.com/beezent – we already have some pretty interesting entries!
Good luck guessing folks!
