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.
Mikatan brought out Miku from the shelf for us to get better shots of this most coolsome figure.
Figma Miku Get.
The detail on her arm.
監修中のものです。
No release date yet but will let you know.
Needa who is undergoing some last minute changes before release.
Another Blood.
Gah - forgets her name.
Must have Moetan.
Must also have this Moetan too.
Thanks good for Good Smile - probably the most decent Idol master figures to date - maybe we can expect more...
The other Good Smile Miku.
A collaboration between Freeing, Animate and Good Smile will see these Haruhi keychains released soon.
These mini figures are based on regions around Japan - this is the Akiba set.
And this is the Kanto set.
Good Smile Nanoha.
Figma Nanoha.
SOS Dan. Kyon out soon.
The Good Smile set up.
Our next office will have a wall just like this - I cant wait!
The next figure from ToLoveRu is Konjiki no Yami.
Yum Yum Yum. Will be released this Autumn.
The Good Smile Lala.
I remember running behind the TV when I saw this thing as a kid.
Kureha by Beagle.
Kanu at the Beagle stand - her pupils kinda look big eh?
If you are new here, you may want to keep up with more of the same via RSS or Danny's other networks. (dont show again)

Some nice stuff, but don't think I'll be getting any of it. Kanu looks okay but I liked the other ones coming out better. Thanks for the coverage, Danny!
(ID #162396) Posted on 2008/03/27 21:42
I didn't pre-order any of those but the Needa and kureha(i already have one figure of her) figures, are making me eager to order them.
(ID #162397) Posted on 2008/03/27 21:43
i'll have to say that kanu is horriblly proportioned. her oppai is twice the size of her head >_< i want miku figma...
(ID #162403) Posted on 2008/03/27 21:48
I kinda have to agree with you on that one
(ID #230418) Posted on 2008/07/05 13:16
Hmmm there is some nice stuff here, looks like my next Uni grant is going to suffer slightly. The Konjiki no Yami figure looks tasty.
(ID #162404) Posted on 2008/03/27 21:49
Yami-chan is awesome so I agree wholeheartedly
(ID #230419) Posted on 2008/07/05 13:16
Wow, lots of nice stuffs there!! ^^ Figma miku, GSC Miku, Lala GET!! Oh and the haruhi keychains looks promising also ^^ Hmmm that Kureha's pose looks interesting :)

I love those Haruhi keyrings! I want the one of her humping Tokyo Tower! I like the Mikuru figma. Might get that. Is it out yet? I still dont get the Hatsune Miku craze though....
(ID #162441) Posted on 2008/03/27 23:40
Hang on - is that cute Mikuru keyring on the right supposed to be Hachiko? ACE! I wants em!

The other Miku looks schweet, maybe I want that even more than the figma version. The Haruhi nedoroids are cool too. I really need to get me a new figure, but I can't decide and my funds are dry anyways T-T

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...

I like the Akiba Haruhi - Maid with Cat Ears, ingenious! Nice Idolmaster figures, which reminds me: Why isn´t Idolmaster available on PS3?!?

nice kureha pose...her face as moe as always.. hoshii haruhi keychains ..hoshii.. must admit hatsune miku figma is nice ..love the color...but budget is really low...squeezing for budget then hoshii..

*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? ^^

(ID #162639) Posted on 2008/03/28 05:32
I have to say, the figma characters remind me of my GI Joes. It's cool that you can pose them how you want, but the joints still don't flow real well with the rest of the figure. I'm on the fence about owning one.
(ID #162641) Posted on 2008/03/28 05:53

Too bad, the advance ticket with bag is sold out... Also too bad you can't take pictures on the public days, I'll have to give my eyes a good look at everything then ^^

Why haven't we heard anything more (at this point in time) about that Miku figma. I guarantee once a release date is set I'll be sitting here refreshing hobby search so I can get a pre-order.
(ID #217544) Posted on 2008/06/20 09:00
Must have figma Miku, pre-order or whatever it takes. I really wish they'd release her already. Hopefully she doesn't end up super rare and expensive... Something tells me she's not going to be as cheap as my Yuki...
(ID #219026) Posted on 2008/06/22 08:27
a bit late on viewing this post. figma miku is very nice! it's a definate take XD
(ID #221215) Posted on 2008/06/25 04:39
Of that stuff I'll be getting Needa/Nida and the Miku PVC. The Miku figma is nice but if I'm getting the nendoroid and the PVC....thats probably enough of that one character. Although I like the painting on the Miku figma better, it's shinier and it really makes her pop. Maybe I'll get the figma over the PVC. As for the To Love Ru figs...I like them but I think I'll stick with the Alpha Omega versions of those two.

I had no idea that these figurines were this popular. The whole sub-culture aspect of this website is really fascinating.
