Wow, there's a lot of figures there I'd just love to have.

Am I the only one that wants every single Yoko (Gurren Lagann) figure they come out with? Those all looked great.

I never took too much interest in figures, but the more I visit your site and check out great posts like this one, the more I find myself admiring the art work and quality of the figures.

Who knows... maybe I'll even make a purchase one of these days.

Thanks Danny!

I'd pick up Haruhi and the Lucky Star girls since they're relatively "safe" and to keep out and easy to explain. I uh, *ahem*, won't mention the others that I'd have to keep hidden away.

btw, how are you going to do the auto censoring using imagemagick? that means you have to detect the location =

Wow! Some truly amazing artwork there! Wish I could've been there in person. Thanks for posting the pics.

(ID #67792) Posted on 2007/12/25 02:33

reply to del's comment

Ron,
LOL. For each photo there is an entry in the database. I set a flag called "IsCensored" which will call ImageMagick to dim the photo so that you cant see the B Chiku. Or I can get ImageMagick to put a mosaic over the image - then save it so that this process is only done once.
The original image will be protected by a script which checks if a member is logged in. Something like that.

reply to Danny Choo's comment

Didn't see much of what i'd like to have but i like a lot of the fine detail in the majority of these figures/statues.

I do indeed want that new version of Rumi Kinoshita, and maybe that Manaka Komaki i saw.

reply to The Lyrical Loli's comment

What I really want to get is those Lucky Star girls and fate/stay night girls.

If there are Shakugan no Shana girls I will want them, too! ^^

reply to Benjamin Takeyo's comment

Konata, Kagami, Miku, and Barasuishou.. Do want. (Heck, I'd even buy the "stand" they displayed Barasuishou on) 
Want others too, but I have no idea who they are.  

The Yuki figurine looked a little weird though.. don't you think? To tell the truth, quite a number of them looked weird as well.. Maybe it's just the lighting of the pictures?

@SY - Yeah, I agree.. some of them DO look too glossy

@QuickFix - Same here! Thanks to you Danny! Banzai~

@Leo - The situation's the same for me here.. Can't get any "explicit" figures ('~')

Sorry for the long comment! Thanks again, Danny, for continually keeping us updated even though you're busy!

reply to Choo's comment

That fox (cat? dog?) girl, the one below the Onegai Sensei, looks cute.
Hastune Miku figures!! The Yoko Figure under Konata has a nice expression, and the Gothic Lolita Haruhi/Yuki look nice. The Barasuishou has some very nice coloring to it.

A lot of one string sentence T-T

Any more pictures Danny? Any favorites?

reply to CMWilly's comment

Yes yes yes!!! There are a few at the end that I like and I will have a very difficult time deciding which Yoko figure I want. A girl with a gun is one thing- with a sniper rifle- another.

THANK YOU for the coverage! I will need to hunt some of these down when I get money and they become available.

reply to Aya Kyunik's comment

Some great stuff there - looked like a good show. Wished i coulda gone!

I love that figure of the gal with pigtails wearing nowt else but some sort of strappy garment - y'know - the grey prototype one. I think its from ikki tousen.

To this day, ive still not seen a figure that has amazed me as much as mirei-san!

(ID #67817) Posted on 2007/12/25 09:59

reply to AndyH's comment

I've never genuinely wanted a Yoko figure before, but that last one. I want, and when it comes out I shall have.

Also, agree with AndyH. That strappy, pigtail chick that looks like she might be on rollerblades. Don't know what character that is, but I likey.

Danny, any info on those two?

I think the first Konata figure is better cute-looking compared to the second one.

reply to Bayonette's comment

Wow. Lots of ero versions of well-known characters. I like certain figures, namely the Lucky Star and Fate/Stay Night ones (Sakura can be "wow!" sometimes!), but also the lingerie girl (hmmm, satin).

The two last pictures (Pixies) spooked me though. They look so tired.
Say, is it Kanu there?! Bondage?!! Never thought she'd suffer that kind of treatment.

Can't say that "woderfestival's little sibling" had anything of real note for me this time round. I already have that ignis and, while there were a few Yokos, I already have 2 headed my way and none of the ones shown felt quite right...
Nanoha was just plain wrong tho...

reply to marvin's comment

It seems to become a trend to have a glossy finish on figures at convention. I actually don't like it, as it has an unnatural look to it, but fortunately this glossy finish usually not present on the actual figure (I think/hope).

I love the blood splatter on that one figure, it's quite a unique touch.
Need to watch some Gurren Laggan, quite nice figure ;p
That first Konata figure disappointed me. The second one on the other hand, is much better and Kagami looks very good too.
The Hidamari Sketch figures are also not that good...
Chun Li has got quite the muscles ;p
Oh, that seems to be a new figure from Black Lagoon, the army maid (Rosetta?). Wish they could make another figure of Revy ^^; (I should look for that previous figure again...).

All the rest, very good figures & pictures ;p

can sum1 buy those konata and kagami figure? and compare their height ^^

reply to hendrik's comment

Wow, some great looking stuff at this show.  

Wouldn't mind having the Haruhi and Yuki figures.  
Finally some good looking figures from Lucky Star too.
I like the high gloss look on many of the figures.  It cam be a pain to achieve but lends to some nice textural feel to some figures. 

Trying to resist the urge to buy every figure that catches my eyes.  Need to be more selective... ^^;
