The last installment of the Wonfes coverage which consists of the remaining bishojo figures.

I know many of you are not into figures and are more interested in the Japan articles like A Week in Tokyo but do you have a quick gander at the figure articles anyway?

The normal schedule of articles will resume soon but will consist of more figure coverage than usual - especially after spending a day at the Good Smile and Max Factory offices/studio - posted a photo in the News Items of Lala being sculpted - a few more exclusives soon.
First time here?

Lelouch: "C.C.x Shirley what the heck is this a Britannian Comiket Cosplay contest!!!!!!!"
Suzaku: "I'm gonna take a picture of this and upload it on YouTube, VEOH, Nico Nico Douga, and every site on the net!!!"

(Lelouch walks up)

Lelouch: Holy ****, Shirley and C.C. are hermaphrodites (man-lady) 

C.C./Shirley: (embarrassed) It's exactly what looks like.....

            Oh CRAP
(Lelouch cracks his knuckles)

Lelouch: C.C. (C-TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO), SHIRLEEEEEEEY!!!!!!!!

(over the top slapstick DRAGONBALL style fanservicey violence happens as Lelouch inflicts pain on Shirley and C.C., while Suzaku is laughing)

I'm enjoying the figure coverage of Wonfes, and also the other figures which are constantly coming out. The only problem is, it is flattening my wallet and draining my bank dry, that's my only complaint!

Thanks for all the coverage, Danny! Great to see all these awesome figures that will cause us major blood loss, especially since not everyone could be there. ^^;

I think I need to create a new strategy for buying figures.  Need to get very scientific about all this figures buying... ^^  Seriously, I want to start taking more photos and need to decide just what it is I want to buy.

Danny, I enjoy Wonfes and all event coverage.  After all, that is where your site started.  Why break with tradition I say.  Having said that, I enjoy the "Week in Tokyo" type articles as well.  You strike a nice balance in coverage.  I think that has something to do with dannychoo.com's popularity.

In the future, I think I need to update my modeling tools and start building resin figures again.

Question for you Danny, how are people learning to cast figures in Japan?  Are there studios giving apprenticeships or such?

Hmm... That C.C./Kallen figure is kinda questionable. Nice idea though.

What I wanna know is which company's making that Nagi figure? The quality is pretty good, so its nice to know that similar quality HnG figures are gonna be made in the near future.

And of course your figure posts rock, Danny! But then again so do your Week in Tokyo articles. I'm sure your other readers won't mind the odd figure article, especially in the wake of WonFes. The quality of photography is good enough reason for a start! XD

I am more into the Japan articles but I do look at the figures articles too. I see figures that I would like to own but my games/anime budget does not have room to add figures in too. But if I found a really good Beldandy figure I don't think I would be able to resist.

Also, I think the people that would rather watch poo dry, are probably just into that anyways... nice way to flush out those with a poo fetish. ^_^

Keep the figure posts coming, but suplement them 1 for 1 with something else.
I could really care less I would still come to DC.com even is where just a figure blog. I am getting a little creeped out at all of the porn'esque figures though. Dont get me wrong i like sexy figures as much as the next person, however i think there is a line that some of these cross.

Some very good figures in this post including Nao, and Rin in uniform. The first one looks very high grade too, though I don't know who it is. I'm surprised they made a figure from mai-otome, and especially because it's a figure of Erstin.

My favorites are the Mabinogi one, that girl in the pink T-shirt with her hand raised (I have no idea who she is), and that Cyrille from Shining Force EXA.

That Zero no Tsukaima one is also nice...but I'm not fond of figures with handcuffs for some reason...I have no idea why.
