WHF Coverage starts now with just under 100 photos - IE users will experience blurring as the page loads - just click through and go and get a cuppa tea or something while waiting.
As always, am going to split coverage into a few parts over the next few days.
The lighting was quite dark compared to previous shows and had a hard time getting good shots - either need to read up more on how to use my camera, get a new lens or a new camera...
BTW, didnt add blurbs to the photos because I know that you know your stuff. But ask if there is anything you cant identify (and feel free to answer ^^;)

Update: There was a slight bug in the galleries where photos from the previous WHF were showing up instead - fixed now.

Totally forgot about the event until a few days before so t'was too late to get my press pass. Did not fancy queuing up and arrived at about 12.30PM where I was able to just walk in.

Damn what happened with those Haruhis? Such volume in those hips it makes her out of proposotion and takes away her beauty. Danny I think you should put something like a 18+ zone in your website, because you keep censoring those images and some of us would like to see them uncensored. I don't wanna look pervert (echi) but I'm an art lover and would like to see how those parts of the bodies are sculpted and painted.

Normally I'd want to pick up some of the Haruhi ones, but I have to agree with CrazyAnimeTuga, those hips just don't look right. 

As for the poll, I haven't been to any figure conventions, but I've been to a few Star Trek conventions. Does that count?

Some great photos as usually Danny!  I'm really looking forward to going to more events and taking photos.  

I've taken photos at past figure event, but never got the results I had wanted.  One really needs to live in Japan and go to events regularly to improve one's photo skills.  I'm wondering if bracket exposures or a flash with a defuser, on a off shoe cable would help?  Did Eddie use a flash on his Nikon?  Sorry...getting carried away with photography stuff.

I wish I had such a nice cup to drink PG Tips... ^o^

I must be getting out of touch, some figures I don't know.  It's hard to keep up on everything...  I do see plenty of figures I can't live without! ^o^

Looking forward to your other photos...

Those Ikki tousen figs are getting more and more blatant!
I flippin love the Non non figure by shunya Yamashita. Thats my next most wanted figure after Mirei san.
I love the fig on 8926 for some reason. Nicely made and different.

Is it because you're a guy that we don't really see any of male characters, or do they just not make any cool figures of guys?

I'm a girl who's not really interested in "bazooms" and painful wedgies (they're cool figures, but I don't want to bring them home).  ^_^;  Is there anything I'm missing?

Good Job on the coverage! Seems like a brilliant event, I'm going to an event pretty soon, the London MCM expo. While it is not as grand scale as some of Japans events it is still great fun and I can get many a figure (I have plans to get at least 3 figures of Ayanami Rei).
