 Trish Ledoux and Toshi
Yoshida: Working at Viz is
always a rewarding experience and this dynamic duo talked about voice acting works, history

about all the toys and cool shows regarding Power Rangers: Wild Force, Zeo Rangers, Time
Force, Megazords, Predazords, comparing leaders and teams, and the ongoing debates about
changing plots for the American audiences. |

| Super Dollfies: Continuing with the late-night Dollfie Party,
proud owners of their dolls talked about the unusual look of the dolls and the fashions that can be applied to them, the costs of getting these high quality works, joining with fan clubs, inspirations from J-Rock and EGL fashions, and having fun setting them up for display and photography. |
