The biggest announcement in the otakusphere at the Tokyo Anime Fair was probably the Figma Hatsune Miku.

Met up with comrades from Good Smile, Max Factory, Mikatan, Akihabara News, Akibaos and AkibaHobby - check their blogs for coverage too.

The first Miku is so well-made that it hurts my eyes just looking at it. The other one's not bad, but... well...

Change subject. Kanto Yuki looks like a guy in that outfit. So what is the red tower that Kanto Haruhi is climbing on going to be? I'm pretty sure that's not the Eiffel Tower...

*Looks left and right* No one seems to have given the answer so it is my cue:
The girl with long blue hair is Mitsuki from Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (she should have much bigger "eyes" though)
Those Miku figures are simply splendid!
I like this Kureha as well.
and finally, this Kany does not appeal much to me because of her "pupils" (nice one btw!)
@rad: Well, if I say "Tokyo Tower", will it be good enough for an answer? ^^
