Danny's "Wonder Festival" Categorized Photo Articles (41)

Back to the Wonfes for the last part - dolls and articulated figures. I think the Figma and Revoltech boom have spawned a huge demand for more of the same and it was quite noticeable that there were more articulated figures being made. ...(more)

Continuing on from yesterdays hobby show for traders. First off is a figure I'm most looking forward to - Unity Yuno from the eroge Unity Marriage - A Good Smile release. See her in action below. At the Artstorm section. K...(more)

Today I was invited over by Good Smile Company to the figure event for traders and sellers that’s held after each Wonfes. Today we are going to take a look at some of the Figma’s and according to comrade Shimazou at Hobby Stock, some of these Nendoroids are being displayed for ...(more)

I thought I took more but looks like I didnt take as many ecchi pics as I did last time. So we have a strange combination today - Ecchi (NSFW), Mecha and Boys ^^; Most of the mecha stuff was on display before so didn't bother taking pics of them again. I...(more)

Now we take a lookie at the resin kits. Have been attending the wonfes for a few years now and a large percentage of the kits on display/sale seem to be the same. This time round I only took stuff that I have not seen before ...(more)

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 grea...(more)

The last installment of the Wonfes coverage which consists of the remaining bishojo figures. I know many of you are not into figures and are more interested in the Japan articles like A Week in Tokyo but do you have a quick gander at the figure articles anyway? The normal schedule...(more)

The next batch of photos from Wonfes held at the Tokyo Big Sight last Sunday are a strange mix of stuff ^^; In here you will find Haruhi, dolls and some mecha but no sign of a Mecha Haruhi Doll. As for this first figure - cant remember who made it but the quality is astounding - h...(more)

Got a ton of photos left and am having challenges sorting everything out. I cant put more than 70 images in an article or the server keeps going down due to the traffic ^^; Decided to sort this article into a Gurenn Lagann, Hatsune Miku, Idol Master, Evangelion and "Misc part 1." ...(more)

Next up is all the adult stuff at the Wonfes. As with the previous Ikkitousen Girls article, I didn't Mirai-mark any of these photos at all so please please turn away if you are offended by the sight of bare naked eyes. Some of these figures left me speechless in a "yummy" and some...(more)

Next up are the Revoltech Goodies by Kaiyodo. I really must make a point of finishing off Gurenn Lagann. Have not come across this in the anime yet. Does it appear near the end? As with each Wonfes, Kaiyodo stick a load of Revoltech figures out for peop...(more)

Next up are the goodies at the Kotobukiya booth. First up is Erika Sendo from the eroge Fortune Arterial. This is a Softbank Creative limited edition - managed to pre-order mine before they cut off the orders. I seem to keep in slipping and taking low...(more)

Next up is the goodies at the Good Smile booth. A load crowd round Hatsune Miku. Good Smile set up a photo corner where you can play with the figures. Mostly Nendoroids and Figma's. ...(more)

The Wonder Festival coverage started with a few teasers in the News Items a few hours ago and now continues with the Ikkitousen girls. Scroll to the end of the post to see how the coverage will be delivered. A word of warning though - I've not had time to automate adding Mirai Mark...(more)

More of these Sailor Moon beauties after the jump. Beautiful. But he doesn't beat this guy. (more)

Ending the Wonfes 2007 Summer coverage with Shuraki box set 5 - Rizfis Luttiva Mente. Just noticed how all the Shuraki sets up until now are women with weapons. BTW, by the time I got to the cosplay area, it was chucking out time - you can have a look at...(more)

Next up are some Ikkitousen figures. This figure of Kano was gorgeous but alas a garage kit. Ryofu Housen. Sonsaku Hakufu. This kit of Sonsaku is very nice indeed. Would look great on the dashboar...(more)

Next up are the Armored Core kits. While a lot of us mecha fans will appreciate the good designs, I get the feeling that the majority of people who buy the kits are the ones who have actually played the games. The interesting thing is that if I see a nice figure but know nothing a...(more)

Next is are the garage kits starting off with a figure I hope they make into a PVC - Shirley Fennette. BTW, I didnt Mirai-mark any of these images so this post is not safe for printing out and posting up on the wall. Hidama...(more)

Next up is the other female figurines. This is Sakura Hime. Was out as a kit many moons ago and now it gets the PVC treatment by Yamato. I hope the quality doesn't end up like their Mine Blue. BTW, Tokyo Hunter has uploaded his coverage. ...(more)

Next up is the figurines at the Kotobukiya booth. Starting off with the nicest figurine that caught my eye. She was so nice that she burnt my synapses which meant that I forgot her name ^^; She looks very ToHeart though. Erm, "name that figure." ...(more)

Next up is the Revoltech stuff by Kaiyodo. Its interesting how Kaiyodo are the hosts of the Wonder Festival but their offerings are much less than Good Smile for example. I didn't notice any of the Bome figures on display either (or I missed them). Didnt get the name of this one bu...(more)

Dont know too much about Nix but I do know a nice figure when I see one - her "eyes" are gorgeous! What I do know about her though is that she has her own Queens Blade illustration book. Dont like the look of that blue bob she has on the end of her stick though. BTW, Hector just...(more)

I was so glad when I saw this at the Good Smile booth. Reason is because I thought that Konami was going to be doing the figures - makes sense because they also do the Anime. Never been a fan of the Busou Shinki figures. Hope the final version of this ends up being well painted and ...(more)

Next up is the Good Smile booth. Not only do they make great figures, they have a great company culture - more details soon ^^; Kyon's sister. Mikuru is my fave but I think they made the Haruhi and this one look the cutest out of the Freeing bunch. Min...(more)

Next up is the mecha and non-female-figurine stuff. This was at the Good Smile section. Never seen Dragonar before but this looks cool. Before I forget, Xenoblog and Roy have their coverage up. ...(more)

Thats the official romanized spelling that Good Smile gave me but they may change it last minute. This was probably the nicest figure I saw at the show. I didnt think she would end up looking do cute! Needa will be box set 4 of the Shuraki series. This is the Master copy but th...(more)

Is Claymore cool or what? Seems to be getting better and better. Starting off with Claire from Claymore. I think this was at the Mega House booth but could be wrong and forgot to check ^^; Will let you know more details as they come in. The sword looks removable and she comes with ...(more)
