Next up is the goodies at the Good Smile booth.
A load crowd round Hatsune Miku.
Good Smile set up a photo corner where you can play with the figures.
Mostly Nendoroids and Figma's.
As with each Wonfes, GSC have a huge booth with enough goodies to make you dizzy.
Kept going back to the Hatsune Miku case but there remained a constant blob of humans.
Eika-sama. Didn't turn out quite as I expected...
And neither did karen-chan.
Otoha-san.
I'm severely behind on my anime and still have not finished Sky Girls yet.
Konata-desu.
Was my first time to really play around with the Figma's and was surprised how well they pose. The paintwork is top notch too.
Wots his name from wots its name.
I want to see the Geass girls as figma's too - Shirley!
Haruhi - kawaii.
Lala-chan from To Love ru. Nice but would have preferred her school uniform version.
Slipped and fell again...
Wots her name from DC Dacapo. Pink...
Name that figure.
More Idol Chu Chu goodness.
Why Namco no jump ship and release on PS3?
Tony Taka Pantsu. Maybe shes asking if her bootlaces are tied properly?
Figma Mikuru rin rin.
Figma Haruhi hoshii.
You know that "hoshii" means "want" but how do you say you want something right now?
"Ima sugu hoshii!!!"
Ima = "now" [今]
Sugu = "soon" [すぐ]
Hoshii = "want" [欲しい]
Kyon = Ima Sugu Hoshikunai.
Hoshikunai = "do not want."
You know I forgot this chaps name...
Figma Saber looking very nice indeed.
Oh my. Figma Rin looking very very nice indeed.
Ima sugu hoshii!!!
And this was the only photo I managed to get of Miku ^^;
I'm going to the Good Smile offices next Friday anyway and will see what I can grab.
I have a feeling that I will own this very soon.
Zoids Remi Nendoroid. Kawaii ne.
Remi with chicken.
Hoshii.
The photo area where you can play with the figma's etc.
Yuki wins. You don't need the plastic stand unless you are doing a one-foot-on-da-floor pose.
Haruhi is hungry for a beef bowl (gyudon). Me is hungry for Haruhi.

I'm glad to say that GoodSmile managed to keep the PVC release of Char Rhouseman looking...(more)

The girl from Da Capo is Asakura Nemu, and I wanted that figure!! The Miku one, even though it's only the back view, looks good. On wishlist too ^^. Instead of Lala from To Love Ru... I think I would prefer one of Haruna in swimsuit ^^. Aaaahhh my bank account will run dry sooo very soon.

I suppose, after seeing all these great figures here, I should be glad I did not go to Wonfes.  After all, where in my cardboard box (Which I would be living in after becoming dirt poor from buying all those figures) would I have room for them all?

Subaruhess: I'm not saying that I'm gonna give up Revoltech altogether. I'm only planning to give up on certain kinds of Revoltech figure if a Figma equivalent is found to be better. Revoltech figures like Pocco are still in my preorder list.

Red head maid figure is Benisu from They are my Noble Masters, I totally recommend it cause it makes allusions to other anime series like Initial D, Hajime no Ippo, Dragon Ball and many others, just pure fun and pantsu scenes XD

Btw, Good Smile Company's pre-order session for Figma Konata and Nendoroid konata & Kagami (Fate/Stay Night Ver.) has started, on their Online shop website.

The problem is that, do they provide international shipments? I ran through their online orders procedure, and looks like they only have local shipments. I can't read Japanese though >.<

So maybe anyone can help/verify on this? >.<

Thanks in advance ^^

The figma Saber is so nice that will probably be the one I most want this year.

I tried to pre-order it on Hobby Search, but the reservation is already closed. So I have to pre-order it on a US based store and pray that I will get it.

Benisu is probably my fave character in Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de, but the pose is a little bland. And it's PVC.

I'm still on the fence on Hatsune Miku as I'm not a massive fan of vocaloid and better kits may come later if the company actually gives out day licenses for garage kit makers...

I spot many good figures there, as always!
The guy's name is Koizumi Itsuki, aka "Fumoffu!"...
I see that the Schrödinger theory (the one with Yuki and Shamisen in a box) has been illustrated as well. ^^
I'd buy Figma Saber in a heartbeat! And Haruhi in RPG costume with a gyudon bowl (Hmmm, love gyudon!) is so cool!!

What I really really want is that outstandingly beautiful figure of Miki from Idolm@ster.
Her green outfit, her gorgeous blonde hair, her pose, everything about her is screaming MOE!
Please tell me she'll be available for normal order and not Japanese exclusive..
Danny can you please confirm that with GSC?

Crap and I just got the Revoltech Rin.

I think I'll go with Revoltech Rin + Figma Saber though.

Armored Saber doesn't have much issue with the ugly joints, but an ugly jointed Rin is pretty much bleah.

About bl**dy time they are releasing the Karas figure. I've been waiting for that for soo long since they last announced. Darnit! Does anyone know the release dates for this particular figure? The pcture is unclear and cut off at the bottom so no dates visible.
Thanks~

Eh.  Revoltech Rin has much nicer clothing sculpting, and I kind of like the chibi-ish face.  Figma Saber is definitely better all around though.

Saving up for Revoltech Gurren Lagann though. =)

We need a Revoltech Yoko!
