Next up are the goodies at the Kotobukiya booth.
First up is Erika Sendo from the eroge Fortune Arterial. This is a Softbank Creative limited edition - managed to pre-order mine before they cut off the orders.

I seem to keep in slipping and taking low angle shots for some reason. Must be because of all the blood on the floor.
The bad lighting made it difficult to take decent pics ToT.
The lovely Kureha and her eye-in-elbow move.
Me forget - name that figure.
Clalaclan wont need her shield as you have already lost by paying to much attention to her eyes.
Eva Misato.
Name those figures.
Didn't take photos of the legs - because she doesn't have any.
SOS dan members?
13 year old Suzu from Nagasarete Airantou.
Horo desu.
Naruka and her panties of mass destruction.
Name that figure.
Shunya Yamashita's Elf.
Dante.
The secret to beating Dante in PS3 in the midway stage is to jump on the platform in the middle of the room and grab Dante when he jumps up with the Devil Bringer.
FF.
Limited to the Wonfes yesterday.
Confession time - still have not seen Spidey 3. I should not be disappointed right?
Does this armor come in anything other than green?
Tie Fighter pilot.
X-Wing has a different meaning in Japanese.
Indy.
Indy daddy.
Also posted a ton of links to other coverage in this news item. More Wonfes later today - being brought to you with Akihabara News.

Wow I want that Sendo one from Fortune Arterial. Looks so nice. Other than that, I like the Elwing one and the Naruka.

omg, another Horo figure is going to released, this look nice, must buy list...
(ID #73162) Posted on 2008/02/26 06:36
Erika Sendo definitely a must get, if only I had the chance ( ; _ ; ) Naruka is a nice one too

I'm still sore over that bust for not having legs. It's sooo nice. May have to go with Naruka instead. Spidey 3 is full of cheese. Keep their finger on the FF button thru the singing and dancing, and you might get thru alright. Maybe. X-Wing Sanitary Pads: For that time of the month when her "Red 5 is standing by"

Love all the figures except the Horo one.. She has an odd smile. The elf girl is Elwin by the way. ^^
(ID #73170) Posted on 2008/02/26 07:17
Is DMC3 Dante ever coming stateside??? AAA doesn't seem like it has anything for retailers and the release date only keeps getting pushed back. Stock in Japan seemed weird too. Impossible to find online in a matter of days and seen it as high as 30000yen on Yahoo! Japan auctions... what happened? I can't imagine demand being THAT crazy for this figure. I mean he's MALE. -_-
(ID #73171) Posted on 2008/02/26 07:20
I want Misato, Suzu, Uesugi Kenshin and Shunya's Elf.. arghhhhh Koto u're making me poor! XP
(ID #73172) Posted on 2008/02/26 07:24
Name that fig: Uesugi Kenshin, from Sengoku Rance.
(ID #73176) Posted on 2008/02/26 07:49
Nice shot of Gabranth. Too bad he's way too big (and expensive). I'd get the Kotokubiya Shining Wind figures if I hadn't devoted myself to the Max Factory 1/7 scale ones.

Naruka will make a decent weapon in my house. But before that, I want the Chief! No, cancel that. Why no ones make figures of GARLY Zealots?
(ID #73179) Posted on 2008/02/26 08:17
I like Misato....will most likely get that. As for Spiderman 3..prepare to be disappointed...has loads of potential but misses the mark completely. The birth of Sandman is the highlight.

I'm immensely happy that the companies have decided to churn out more bishounen figures. Hurrah!
(ID #73181) Posted on 2008/02/26 08:27
Just a little correction, the kunoichi in red is Shihoudou Narika not Naruka ^^;; I'm thinking really hard now if I should get Suzu or Narika, both figures are awesome but I can only afford one *sob* The arrival of lots of new figures doesn't help at all T___T

I think the Horo one looks a liiiittle weird.. no? Her smile is a little too wide.. I'm aware that she smiles like that in the anime too, but it looks kinda weird on a figure ^^;

Sooo much 'Do Want' here, Horo, Yamashita's Elf, Misato and Elwing to name but a few... and that's only the ones from Kotobukiya ^^;; I dread to think what it'd cost to get my full 'Do Want' list from WF.

Ngaaa all the nice nice figures *_* Oh and those two male ones in uniforms are Akira and Shiki from Togainu no Chi (some BL game)

Oh God.... I'd declare bankrupcy only from visiting Kotobukiya. The details on their models are just... I don't know, don't have words. Amazing³

All Shinning Wind figures are great and have nice details. Me wants XD
(ID #73210) Posted on 2008/02/26 15:38
Saw Spidy 3, didn't like. I saw the US Halo 3 commercial where they modeled an entire battle scene. Then the model of the master chief looks up from under the foot of his enemy and cocks a greade. Don't think I'd buy just the master chief model, but if they had the whole scene I might consider. Hey Danny, did they have any sets of the Millenium Falcon next to the X-Wing?

I'm out of cash, can't afford any :( I want the Erika, Suzu, Narika and Uesugi one!! Time to rob the bank. Sadly the Horo one doesn't really appeal, something weird about the face. Am praying for a better Horo figurine to come out in the near future! (not that I could afford it lol)

When did Koto start manufacturing figures for hollywood kinda stuff? For as long as I can remember Kotobukiya has been making figure out of hollywood movies, I even remember seeing them in the late 80's I think? It was my first real flirtation with the superior quality of Japanese sculpting (I don't want to say "toys" ^^;). Who would've known that in 15-17 short years that the figure scene would explode that much. Also, Danny, or to anyone who lives in Japan currently, I've wanted to know for a few months now: On the interweb here, figures like the Claymore Clare figure that released last November and like Char Rhouseman are sold out before the preorders finish or whatnot. In Akiba or whatever other places you obtain figures, can you find these, like, say, now a few months afterwards, etc? I know the production runs are limited on most of these, but I'd assume that there are more available, and resells or whatever in the bastion of goodness, Akiba ^^.

Above all, the Shunya girl`s made me feel good, and the chief master, more for a person I know, but everything takes my attencion, argh!!
(ID #73226) Posted on 2008/02/26 21:23
The guys with black suits and armbands are probably from Rosenkreuz Orden from Trinity Blood. Also, do want to many things to list here...

I've seen the Elf in the 5th picture in one of Tony Taka's drawings, I guess she's from a game he made character designs for (maybe even Shining Wind or how it's called).

I don't know what you people who are complaining about the mouth on Horo are talking about. This is the most accurate figure of the two Danny has show so far. Yeah her mouth is a little wide, it's just like her character's in the anime. She is a wolf pretending to be human after all. And the Suza figure would look better in her original clothing, but it would be even better if her outfit was made with castoff so you can have the bikini if you want. My youngest daughter wants me to get this figure so she can get her hands on Tonkatsu.
(ID #73240) Posted on 2008/02/26 23:18
I want that Gabranth figure so much, but its so expensive. I don't know if can justify it.

(ID #73256) Posted on 2008/02/27 02:30
I want the Indiana Jones ones and the Master Chief. Ironic how the best Japanese figurines IMO are western designs.

I am really tempted to get the Togainu no Chi figures. (The two male figures in uniforms.) Also, the Indiana Jones ones look AMAZING.
(ID #73273) Posted on 2008/02/27 07:52
The elf figs is Shining Tears' Elwyn or Elwing or what, I dunno the english version's spelling The samurai-girl is Sengoku Rance, I believe? and it looks damn good too.
(ID #73281) Posted on 2008/02/27 11:05
I think the SS figures are from "Adolf" Osama Tezuka's manga.

Yes, The armor from Halo do have other colors, also other style. But if the color and/or the armor style is any differnt, than that figure is not the main character, Master Chef.
(ID #73316) Posted on 2008/02/27 18:44
Like the shining tears figures. Blue girl with katana also looks good, but I'm not sure about her hair ends look so flat like. Indy's face looks so real though, I had to pause a sec before I figured out it wasn't a figure.
(ID #73346) Posted on 2008/02/28 04:07

the two figures in the Nazi-esque uniforms for "name that figure" are Akira (standing) and Shiki from the BL-game Togainu no Chi. And I simply MUST get my hands on both.

Good selection of figs. The Misato one was nice. And the HALO armor apparently comes in red, blue, green, and something they won't call Pink. Plus a gray/black thing. No I don't play Halo, but I have friends who do.
(ID #73658) Posted on 2008/02/28 10:17
That two guys in white uniform is from Togainu no Chi, a yaoi eroge, while the samurai girl with blue colored costume is Uesugi Kenshin from Sengoku Rance
