Actual To-Scale Police Raid Action Figure Protest
Monday, September 10, 2007
Hard to decide which creates more pathos: Anime fans using figures to hold a protest, or real police arriving to break up the "disruption." In late August, Singaporean enthusiasts used their action figures to declaim a clampdown on Internet anime downloads; police responded with four riot vans and some lightweight on-the-scene interrogation. Ultraman had to leave via a back exit, as considering his prior record, he could not easily afford another arrest.
