Photos: Kyo The Badge Whore

Edit 7th September 2012
It's been about a year and a half since I've updated this, so I figured I'd show you what Kyo looks like now. More conventions have been attended, more travel pins acquired. Is Kyo running out of room? Yes. Is this going to stop me? No. Also, the rust is spreading. Kyo keeps getting drenched. My latest trip to Japan was not kind to him, as the rain gods were determined to soak us at every possible moment.
