OK, many of you asked about these when I uploaded coverage of Wonfes 2007 Winter and I made a point of noting down the sculptor - Long Long Lab.

Those kits from Long Long Lab are outstanding, especially Mayfairs. The designs kind of remind of Range Murata's a bit. Nice!

The girl with the feret on her head is Matsuri from Ichigo Mashimaro :D Hey Danny, my profile doesn't seem to want to update :(

I'm really hoping for Shirley and Mikuru to become PVC's, I thought they were the best of the lot ^o^.

Don't know if it's just me but there seems to be an increase in the number of saucy figures ^^;

Hey there Danny, there is a mistake. that isn't Mizuho-chan if you are referring to the girl below. I am pretty sure that is Yukiho Hagiwara from THE IDOLM@STER. That's all Hehe, I don't even know what is a garage kit and I doubt I have one -_-;

Not sure if anyone has brought this up, but the figure that you said "is this one of the Hidamari girls?" is actually from Ichigo Mashimaro.

That Shinkar and Mayfair figures looks like hey came straight out of a Fallout game. heheh! It just reminds me about it. Would love to see a pvc version of that Shirley and CC figure. Especially with the CC sitting down. ^^ What's a garage kit btw?

To BeLe in Davao, Philippines Garage kits are amateur-produced model kits. The term originated with dedicated hobbyists frustrated with being unable to find model kits of subjects they wanted on the market and so started producing kits of their own. As the processes of sculpting, casting and painting produce dust and fumes, most of the sculptors used their garages as their workshops, hence the name. Originally these kits were sold and traded between hobbyists at conventions, such as WonderFestival, but they have since gained popularity and now there are a number of companies, including Federation Models, Volks, WAVE/Be-J, Kaiyodo, Kotobukiya, and B-Club, producing these kinds of kits professionally.

Hey, I'm curious whether these "garage kits" are readily accessable outside of japan?

I dont own any garage kits but they are readily available with all things sci-fi at my local hobby store (family owned and operated). They have a few anime garage kits and thats it, I was never good at painting or drawing people so I pass.

The first unnamed figure there (with the black book and wings) is Reinforce from Nanoha. That was awesome :3
(ID #54678) Posted on 2007/08/17 06:42
YES!!! Finally another Motoko figure!!! Thatone looks really nice, the face is captured really well. The most recent one for the Solid State Society, i didn't like it much, the face wasn't right, but i like these ones.

I love the 'dressed' Motoko and the lounging C.C. But I would never buy a garage kit. I don't get why so many of the cool garage kits aren't picked up by a pvc maker...

now THIS is more like it!!! Out of the kits shown, I'm most interested in Shirley and C.C. I already have another C.C kit and Cerberus projects Ignis. I'll see if I can squeeze in Ignis the red as well...

*Sigh* I know opinions don't count on the 'net, but Belldandy in heat is just so wrong for me... Urd maybe.

Er, speaking of Bell, I'm looking for a good figurine of her that's readily available (i.e. still in print, and not a garage kit, eheh). Any recommendations on one? Been a fan since forever.

that stuff is awesome,my friends would call me crazy if I'llbuy all the figures ,which catch my attention XD

IT, Programmer, ...
I think that figure with the gray hair and glasses which you think is from Hidamari Sketch. I think it's from Ichigo Mashimaro (just love those girls from Ichigo Mashimaro ;p) I'm not really into buying figure that I still have to paint myself. It's all a bit up to the skills of the painter then. I'd be more interested in trying a gunpla model.
(ID #54717) Posted on 2007/08/17 16:39
Wow...there's some real nice figurines there...My fave was personally the C.C on the sofa, really nice. Now I really want to get her!!!! lolz...now all I need to do is find a place that sells her, and a few other models, and know how much I need to save to buy them all. XD

Maya, If you want these kits, then I woudl advise hitting yahoo Japan! auctions. fast!!! Ane be willing to part with a fair wad of cash! I've bought 2 and my sum total is up to 50,000 yen!!! Still looking to buy more too. These are going to last me a while!!!

Thanks for sharing Danny. The pieces from Long Long Lab were absolutely stunning work. I hope to see more of their pieces in the future. As to your question about Eureka Seven it becomes slow in the beginning, gradually becomes better, but toward the middle it has a slump then it transitions towards ultimate greatness. For the most part has the studio Bones ever let you down?

Marauder: Thanks, yeah, I saw that, looks nice. Funnily enough, I think I saw that fig being sold here already. Took a look at her up close, and she didn't look as good. Now I'm wondering if it's a fake I saw, or a different fig altogether.
