Completely knackered from today's Wonfes. While there were less booths due to a much smaller hall, the trekking around still wore me out ^^;
BTW, the Good Smile live broadcast has started over at NicoNico. You need a NicoNico account to view it.
I'm logged in now and would be great to see you there too. If you don't know what it is then check last years Good Smile Live Broadcast article. When you log in the send a message using the NicoNico text box. See you there.

First up are the PVC goodies. I took a few hundred pics - stopped bothering to take notes many moons ago ^^;
Coverage is split into a few parts. Mecha and boys toys, dolls, garage kits and ecchi. I have already started to upload coverage to my news pool (which you can subscribe to) and you can see a ton in the Member News too.
I didn't take many Good Smile/Max Factory pics because I'm seeing them later next week - will be able to take pics without being bounced all over the place ^^;
The first figure in this article is by Good Smile - more from her later.

I met up with/bumped into Foo Bar Baz, Xenohawk, Ken Lee, Tokyo Hunter and Jabro - check out their coverage too.
There's also a load of coverage at Moeyo and AkibaHobby.
Folks who keep an eye on my news items and member news will be familiar with most of these so I'm not going to go through them. If you have questions please shout out and hopefully we can help each other in identifying it.
You may have read in the Member News about the escalator accident that happened in the morning. I got to the venue at noon so I'm fine - some people are not fine though and I heard some were injured badly.

I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!! It was beautiful. DO want that deliciously loli Klan Klan as well as so many others it'd be a bother to list them all here.

ｷﾀ━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━ｯ!! Thx for the coverage. Pumpkin girl is cute! Page completely loaded, time to prepare tissue paper >__<!

Ha, I might have to set aside another USD $1,000 for additional pre-order for the rest of this year. Certainly I have to cancel some of my preexisting pre-order to make room.

Awww... me wants the neko-girl on 10th picture <3<3<3 Wonderful!
(ID #255842) Posted on 2008/08/04 00:15
That's Nekomiya Nono from the anime Yotsunoha. I'm guessing this is is her exclusive Wonder Festival color version. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10070788

Thanks for info, but damn, blue swimsuit somehow ruins the figure :'( Will be looking for a white-colored version. So cute :)

I love her... I wants her soooooooooooo much!!!

I've already pre-ordered some of the figures (like Gothic Punk version of Mikuru), but there seems to be alot of figures I don't recognize. There are also quite a few I'm quite interested in. The coverage is getting me all waku-waku. (1) What figure is that with a pumpkin on her head? (2) That Sengoku Rance Senhime figure looks quite interesting too (I'm not thrilled with either Volks or Kotobukiya version of her). (3) Who is that figure which looks like Nagato Yuki in her space commander outfit? The hairstyle and color is different from Yuki, so I'm quite stumped who she is. (4) The figure holding the billiard ball and club is quite interesting. I can't put my finger on where she's from either, but she looks familiar. Figures I'll definitely put on my to-preorder list so far is Kotobukiya Shining Wind Ryuna.

that pic with the pool table is hawt! fap fap fap
(ID #255889) Posted on 2008/08/04 00:49
That girl with the pumpkin on her head is apparently Pixie Hiyori from the eroge "Chu x Chu" by Unionshift.
(ID #256183) Posted on 2008/08/04 08:51
I think that Yuki look-alike with the brown hair IS Yuki. Its her space admiral uniform from the Day of Sagitariuss III episode.
(ID #257021) Posted on 2008/08/05 02:41
Yup =) It's a prototype of a 1/6 scale Daiki PVC slated for a Jan 09 release.
(ID #257042) Posted on 2008/08/05 03:26
its disappointing no kallen or shirley on display :C but was that chuchu astram? very loveleeeey :D

(ID #255857) Posted on 2008/08/04 00:24
Damn, that Yoko revoltech looks LUSH! I think i might overcome my fear of poseable figures and pre-order it. I really like that prototype of the sexy pool playing woman too. Nice.

That Yoko fraulein is damn fine. And the Haruhi!!! Face isn't as nice as the figma, but she' still gorgeous.
(ID #255881) Posted on 2008/08/04 00:42
Is that a fraulein haruhi I see in there? Anyway very want that fraulein yoko, hopefully she can pose well without that crappy stand. *continues watching the live stream*

Several stuff I want.... The swimsuit catgirls, maid Shana, goth Mikuru, Yotsuba figures... X_X Very nice...
(ID #255870) Posted on 2008/08/04 00:32
It seems there are quite a few versions of that maid Shana. (1) Orange Wonder Festival version (2) Black-haired normal version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/93981 ) (3) Amiami limited version (http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/93982 )

I spy a nice Klein Klan!!! Hope it was resin. The Pool Hustler was also pretty cool but from the looks of the other sites, resin figures were pretty low in number this year... A shame...

Damn I want so many. Kitty Haruna, Kitty Lala and all the Haruhi series ones there. I especially want gothic Mikuru.

Word of warning, Gothic Mikuru was a resin kit so be prepared to put some work in on her. I also saw what looked like a prototype of a Fate Testarossa in Twin Zanber form on one of the other sites. Some people may want to look out for that one. There was also a Figma Seto San from Seto no Hanayome and, as I suspected, Vispo showed off his race queen Rei. But nothing has really grabbed me yet

Wat. Goth Punk Mikuru is an upcoming PVC from Griffon.

Yeah I heard it was a PVC too which is why I want it. I could never do a resin kit. Odds are I'd screw up and waste my money. :(
