Danny's "Event Reports" Categorized Photo Articles (131)

Doll Show 25 took place yesterday at the Tokyo Trade Center in Takeshiba. You can easily get there from Hama Matsucho station on the JR Yamanote line. Been to many figure events over the past few years. Most of what I saw was the same thing again and again - especially the Garage K...(more)

Its been a while since I stuffed over 100 photos in an article. The last time I done so was when the photos were hosted on dannychoo.com - the server would always go down due to the load. Now that all article photos are hosted on my Flickr account, I can stuff more photos in one ar...(more)

Was invited by comrades at Google to YouTube Live Tokyo - the reason why I could not stay in Singapore for AFA. The most awesome thing about Live Tokyo was getting to meet n network with a load of other YouTubers too like the lovely Magibon. Sunday 1:45P...(more)

A party was held for the staff of GSC (Good Smile Company), Max Factory and other related folks from the figure/game/anime and IT industry. "IT industry" = Hector and I ^^; The summer season is the most busiest for figure makers what with all the events....(more)

Continuing the Chara Hobby 2008 coverage - today we look at the figures n dolls. First up is Hatsune Miku - She should appear in my office next week ^^; Regret not pre-ordering this figure of Alice - shes sold out everywhere in Japan. ...(more)

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)

More from the Tokyo Anime Fair 2008. Starting with one of the first anime titles I started to watch when first learning Japanese 15-ish years ago - Kimagure Orange Road. Just watched the OP for Orange Road below which brought back a flood of nostalgic memories. Could only speak a ...(more)

Next we take a look at some of the new anime shows for the next and future seasons. First up is Vampire Knight - a load of nice boys who look like girls - or they could be girls that look like boys. I hear Admiral Akbar. Vampire Knight starts April 7th. ...(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)

I wish I didn't see these Mama Chapp Toy dolls at the Comike... Reason being that they are really cute! The problem with these is that they are expensive weighing in at about 10,000 yen each. They are limited editions too and if you miss them then expe...(more)

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

Here are some mecha and "other" stuff from Chara Hobby 2007. First up is Optimus Prime with a Gundam Zeta head - not sure why... Optimus Prime bust. Classic design ...(more)

More pictures from the WHL. I dont know much about Yotsuba so not sure why everybody seems to be going crazy over her (I presume its a her? ^^;) The marketing guy handling the Revoltech series tells me that the final versions will be exactly the same wi...(more)

Up next is the figure stuff from the chara hobby. I like Noiji Ito-sans work and liked the look of Nanatsuiro Drops but Sumomo's character put me off from watching any further than ep1. Some baka girls are cute but she seemed a bit too baka ^^; These sh...(more)

Didn't manage to get any quality pics of the Fraulein Revoltech figures at the Wonfes but luckily there was the WHL this week. Been waiting ages for the technology to catch up for makers to be able to bring us articulated figurines. ...(more)

One of the most interesting games I spotted at the Comike - could this be the Idol Master killer? TimeLeap is an eroge to be released by Front Wing this December for Windows - the same company that brought us Fauna in Megachu and Kimihagu. Apart from the usual naughtiness, the girls are rendered in 3D...(more)
