Absolutely hectic day yesterday. Wonder Festival in the morning, filming HDTV in the afternoon and off to an Idol event in the afternoon. Being a full time employee at Microsoft and a full time otaku can be tough at times ^^; Hmmmm, maybe I should give up one of these full time positions...
There were the usual billions of people waiting outside when we got there but for some strange reason, the halls didnt seem as packed as it was this time last year. Waited 64 seconds for our press passes before going in though a seperate entrance. Thank god for press passes.
Spent most of our time around the enterprise booths - being Alter, Max Factory, Good Smile etc. Only skimmed though the garage kits section due to time constraints.
Going to dedicate this week Mon - Fri on yesterdays Wonder Festival and finish off the week with coverage from yesterdays idol event - I know you are going to absolutely fall in love with her!
This is the first part covering female figurines, tomorrow will cover mecha stuff, Wednesday will cover cosplay, Thursday and Friday will cover two of my most-favorite-absolutely-must-have-or-somebody-dies figures.
Dont have a terrible amount of time to go through all these but I know that you know your stuff when it comes to figures ^^. If you have a question, post the photo ID like "7571.jpg".
Coverage is being brought to you in coordination with Akihabara News where you can catch the latest HDTV and movie footage from inside the halls at Wonder Festival. Akihabara News will be uploading a few clips of the event coverage so be sure to check them out this week.
Moeyo and ellcy90 also have coverage that you may want to check out.
Ah, almost forgot to mention that when you click on "view the rest" that over 100 images will load. IE users will experience blurring. If this happens then install Firefox instead. Alternatively you could just view the whole gallery instead. Some NSFW pics included too so watch your back at work. Should I include laughing man discs to hide B-Chiku?

Grrr! For some bizzarre reason, it cut off virtually all of my last post, so here I go again! I really like the sexy Booted bunny girls on 7582 and that h-game gal on 7634. Nice red Mikuru bunny too. I see Mirei-san in the background on the Shunya Yamashita stall! Show us more! Mostly, i have to say that your camera is EXCELLENT! Having recently spent £300 on one, i realise that its extremely difficult to take good, sharp, well exposed pictures indoors without flash! Great pics - especially of the excellent, but extremely blatant Mai Shiranui figure. Looking forward to the cosplay bit - never seen you cover a cosplay event before.

How does someone get a press pass to events like Comike and WonFesu? Enquiring minds want to know!

What wonderful photography! You have a real eye for picking the best models and getting the lighting and angles just right. I can't think of a better treat than this to end the weekend with! Domo arigato!

Great shots! This is what got me visiting your site originally Danny. I love that Mai figure, the face is great, but unfortunately I think her "eyes" may be a bit too large, don't think the wife will give the OK on that one. Ah well, I've at least got your great shots of it to enjoy. If this is just the first batch I can't wait to see what you put up in your gallery of the Must-Have figures. Looking forward to the rest of the week! Thanks!

That Mai-Kagutsuchi black figure looks nice, the price tag is definitely out of my grasp tho.... 32000 T? X_X;; I'd rather complete Kamen Rider Blade SICs first >.

I like the pictures Danny!!! You have a good kind of stress I wish I had access to all the tight stuff. I cant wait to see the rest of the weeks reviews and Thursday and Friday will cover two of my most-favorite-absolutely-must-have-or-somebody-dies figures. Your silly for that comment I cant wait to see those figures on Thursday and Friday!!! LOL

Quite a number of awesome figures that'll be coming out. Hopefully I'll have the money and space for them.
