Now we take a look at some of the stuff that you can actually buy at the TGS - you may want to look out for some of these if you are going today.
First up is Rio stuff - this was at the AU mobile booth but you need to go to the merchandise hall to get hold of these.

OK, these ladies were not quite for sale. The lady on the far right is holding a bag of peanuts which she gave to me later. Have no idea why nurses were handing out peanuts.
Why don't real nurses dress like this? I suppose they exist to save lives instead of giving patients heart attacks.

DOA goodies.
DOA Hitomi is gorgeous.
More DOA.
Even more DOA.
Leifang figure.
DOA tapestries.
Zero no Tsukaima and Nagasarete Airantou framed goodies.
DC coming to the PS2.
Guren and Xenoglossia framed goodies.
Towels to make your after-shower experience more interesting.
If you are a bloke and are too shy to wear a girls uniform then you can get a t-shirt with sailor fuku printed on it.
"Name those characters on the sheets."
Ikkitousen dakimakura.
More dakimakura.
Just had a thought. If you are hugging the pillow then all you can see is the face which also means that the rest of the ero ero cover that you cant see is a bit of a waste?
Anyone for a rubbing down with Siesta, Henrietta and Louise after a shower?
Enix girl not for sale.
Enix goodies.
"Name that figure."
Another FF figure but cant remember his name. Cloud? Chad?
More FF goodies. Sorry didn't manage to get any game coverage.
More Zero no Tsukaima dakimakura.
Interesting how you cant buy games at a game show but you can buy a ton of dakimakura.
DAKIMAKURA!
Yoko-chan dakimakura anyone?
M, more da, dakimakura.
Interesting how you cant buy games at a games show but you can buy a ton of towels.
Heap of Dakimakura, towels and other figures - no games though.
If you are new here, you may want to keep up with more of the same via RSS or Danny's other networks. (dont show again)
Now we take a look at the Sony and Microsoft stuff.
Just like last year, MS didn't want folks taking p...(more)

OMG Danny you can't remember the Final Fantasy characters name? LOL they Silver one is Sephiroth and the blond is Cloud probably the most known characters in the history of RPG I think. Impressive, anime is so much into japanese culture now that even its merchandise is at sale in Game shows, even if theres no game about those animes.

Wow, thats a lot of dakimakura. The only things I could name was the figures. The one with silver hair is Sephiroth while the blonde is Cloud, both from FF7 Advent Children I believe. Danny, about 1/3 of the images towards the bottom of the post are links that lead to the same image. Maybe its just me.
(ID #57567) Posted on 2007/09/24 00:38
Danny, you are the only major otaku I know that doesn't know FF CHARACTERS! Probably because there isn't any FF eroge...(There are always doujinshi ^.^)
(ID #57568) Posted on 2007/09/24 00:40
Wow, look at all those whatchamacallthem. Hey Danny, Half of the pictures don't appear for me.
(ID #57569) Posted on 2007/09/24 00:41
LOL! FF jokes! But, yea i'm having trouble seeing 1/3 of the pictures at the bottom.

LOL! I was kinda surprized Danny didn't know the names of FFVII characters. I didn't even play the entire game, or am a fan of the series, and still know all the names... Anyways, DO WANT almost everything pictured. I also just watched a video that made me want so bad to be on TGS07. Here, for fellow male animu otakus: http://kotaku.com/gaming/tgs07/tecmo-follies-302714.php Zero no Louise Daki Makuras... I cried a bit.

dakimakura! WAHHHH! ^^;
(ID #57578) Posted on 2007/09/24 01:27
hahahahahaha..... im sorry, i cant stop laughing at the sailor uniform t-shirts. It is truly beyond words. although i'd love to get my hands on some of those towels. ^^
(ID #57579) Posted on 2007/09/24 01:40
Peanuts for free? Watch out for allergies if you got any. Q: "If you are hugging the pillow then all you can see is the face which also means that the rest of the ero ero cover that you cant see is a bit of a waste?" R: Well, yes, actually. That is why Dakimakura is a good business. XD Those Sephiroth and Cloud Strife figures inspired from Advent Children look odd to me, especially Cloud. I prefer his original outfit. Enix? It is SquareEnix now, Danny... And the monsters are from Dragon Quest (a series I avoided like the plague, even if I used to be a RPG freak), if I'm not wrong (King Slimes, Golems, Demons, etc.). I love how this merchandise secretly compels you to buy it. i never get tired of otaku coverage like that. -Question time!- It may sound stupid for a question, but sometimes when I vote for a certain choice in the poll, the statistics decrease instead of increase. How come is that? @_@;

...I've been resisting the urge to buy a pillow cover... Stop making me want to buy em Danny ;_; I'll prolly get one anyway lol. Nice coverage of the merchandise there, I'll have to go to TGS one of these days~
(ID #57582) Posted on 2007/09/24 01:50
Oooo, I would really like to get one of those Ikkitousen ones, but I don't know what I'd do if anyone else saw it laying around >_>
(ID #57583) Posted on 2007/09/24 02:01
nice stuff..especially the FF figures
(ID #57584) Posted on 2007/09/24 02:17
danny-san, i hope you still have more tgs2007 coverage, especially tgs2007 キャンギャル ^o^（笑）
(ID #57585) Posted on 2007/09/24 02:28
omg, i love the zero no tsukaima and DOA... That two FF figure, Sephiroth and Cloud is extremely expensive(for me) ...
(ID #57586) Posted on 2007/09/24 02:39
Great coverage, Danny! Love the DOA posters; speaking of which do you know where i can buy one from?

I expect those towels and dakimakuras to sell like hotcakes, especially one of the dakimakuras that allows you to 'sleep' with a mature-looking 14 year old! Gosh, animes are screwing up my perception of age.

try hobby search, i've seen them have some pillows and blankets up ocasionally.. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/ and if the price is right.. i would wear anything >:D
(ID #57596) Posted on 2007/09/24 04:12
Thats a lot of dakimakura on sale. Does the previous TGS have so many on sale too? I dun really remember the older TGS (during the 1990s) having so many dakimakura on sale. I guess most anime have games on the PS2 or DSL now. I sure i'm as lucky as you Danny to be able to attend TGS. I would totally kill for this Rockman 20th Anniversary t-shirt. http://blogimg.goo.ne.jp/user_image/0a/86/ecf99545846950cffe48ac3889eab2fc.jpg

(ID #57603) Posted on 2007/09/24 05:18
So regarding the Dakimuras, rather than just see the face, u must be able to feel the rest of the body too?

Ha! Maybe there's so many Dakimuras and towels because the game companies are trying to help gamers with hygiene and to get proper rest! Really it's a public service!
(ID #57606) Posted on 2007/09/24 05:41
Hah! Tons of dakimakura swarming around the place. Looks like a Comiket event than a TGS.
(ID #57607) Posted on 2007/09/24 05:42
lol @ sailor fuku t-shirts and lol these FF char all from 7 i wonder where zack went lol. The yellow hair --> Cloud from Advent child White hair FF guy -->sephiroth (dunno from FF7 or AC nto sure) its quite sad 1 of the most famous guy from ff7 is forgotten by danny =P lol, guess sep wasn't important lol and i wonder how they can keep releasing d.c. ... i can't see what else they can make more of lol (so many versions already!!).

waw! so much dakimakura and otaku items at a game show...this goes to show that otaku and games are mutual and still goes hand-in-hand XDDD i so wanted to buy dakimakuras and otaku towels lol @Square-Enix figures the guy with the long silver hair is sephiroth while the blonde spike haired guy is Cloud honestly, FF7 was good before the fags started rapping it lol
(ID #57610) Posted on 2007/09/24 06:31
I didn't know they sold these kind of stuff in the TGS @.@ The 2 characters on the dakimakura below the sailormoon shirt would be Asuka Hina in the left, and Mahiro Sendou in the right, from the eroge Memories off encore #5..
(ID #57611) Posted on 2007/09/24 06:49
whoops i meant Memories Off #5 encore ''

(ID #57614) Posted on 2007/09/24 09:17
I would prefer the real sailor fuku than a t-shirt with that printed on it. Triplekia: Those seem to be too oversized.
(ID #57615) Posted on 2007/09/24 09:33
Great pics Danny, loving the DOA merchandise... How can I get the figure on the right in the very first picture?!
(ID #57616) Posted on 2007/09/24 09:36
Dude great review, but seriously, you have to learn some of the basic stuff! The figure with the white hair is Sephiroth, and the one with the big Sword is Cloud. They are of course both from FF7. It's like not knowing what Evangelion is..
(ID #57617) Posted on 2007/09/24 09:51
That Rio wallscroll looks... um... intresting! Nice four eyes! Even though i would never buy a dakimakura, that Ryomou Ikki Tousen one is fantastic! Lovely yoko one too. CHAD! LOL! Everyone knows cloud and sepiroth - even people who havent played the game - its just sooo bloody popular for some reason! Nice coverage.
(ID #57618) Posted on 2007/09/24 10:23
whoa thats alot of towels and bedsheets to be selling at a game show. i guess where there will be otaku there will be people selling otaku pleasing goods.
(ID #57619) Posted on 2007/09/24 10:48
I need this Rio mousepad ! And I would like to go to TGS just to meet those nurses or Enix girls ^^
(ID #57621) Posted on 2007/09/24 13:17
Well, in fact, Cloud's name was scratched in certain versions of FF VII; his name was changed to Clad (how stupid of them), a bit like for Rinoa who was renamed Linoa (FF VIII) and Vivi who became Bibi. Danny, you were pretty close after all... *major laughs* I know those mistranslations were for the french version of those games (don't tell me you played in this language?!).

IT, Programmer, ...
I really need to get me some dakimakura and/or towels next time I'm in Akiba ;p For some reason there was not much choice last time... maybe they are really releasing them now in huger numbers. But it's indeed interesting that you can't buy games at a game show ;p

Those FFVII:AC figures do look good! Danny, you need to take some rest .. I almost shock that you put "name that figure" onto Sepiroth! Kidding dude :p About the dakimakura and towels, I don't know whether I should use it after or before taking a bath. I mean with those "pretty" picture printed on it, people probably use it before taking a bath ;). LOL

"name the figure" The one above cloud is Sepiroth from FF7: Advent Children. It's really too bad I am not in Japan right now, I'd buy quite a few of the tapestries/wall scrolls, maybe some DOA goodies and definetly, if the price was right, the FF7 Advent Children figurines.
(ID #57626) Posted on 2007/09/24 15:17
hmm i betcha with the right makeup and acessories you can make a guy look real nice in a sailor fuku but i still wont wear one

I just bought a custom made Sephiroth sword, its almost as tall as me! (im 6'2"). Almost too heavy to actually hold for very long, let alone swing. Clouds sword is great too, but not really to scale.

D_BLADE; I think the reason you are noticing this voting error is because other people are voting at the same time as you. When the page refreshes itself (after you vote), say someone else votes the opposing view, or two people, it might change the wrong way. That.. or you dont know how to vote, like the people who live in florida in the US.
