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.
Really wanted to get this Volks doll of Asuka but was a bit pricey at 54,000 yen. Hmmmm, looks like I need to make friends with the folks at Volks quick ^^;
Nendroid Puchi Shana - comes with one of the Shana DVD purchases.
MM from Kemeko DX is gorgeous. Lovely eyes.
Curious to know whats under the removable buruma.
Chara Hobby is aimed at the family with more mainstream stuff - hence the amount of Gundam goodies available to see. While they do have figures on display, there is not much new stuff to see that wasn't on display at the Wonfes a few weeks ago.
Yikes - has it really been that long since the last Gundam article ^^;
These were taken...(more)

Wow, I don't consider myself a fan of dolls, but that rendition of Saber definitely colors me impressed.

I so wish I had the money right now. I so want that Miku Figma, she comes with leeks! Of course I want the other two Vocaloid Figmas as well and all the other releases of Miku and the gang. New Yami in the making looks nice. Can't wait to see some painted shots. And of course, Maritan! Nendroid I'm assuming. *Goes to send in her resume in hopes to land the desk job at the VA Hospital nearby.*

Oh, I forgot about the Alice figure. Even if she's a bit risque I still love the look of the figure. Although I'd be embarassed to have something like that in my room when family members come in. >>;

AH~ Rin/Len Figma coming out at October? MaxFac sure knows when to release all the goodies, coz that's when Nendo Rin/Len's coming too. Oh well, time to save up some extra cash ^^;
(ID #286015) Posted on 2008/08/31 23:15
I'm kind of glad Teana is not a figma, I don't like figmas and their weird looking joints. As for Queen's blade Alice, I actually found her inside a Bic Camera in Ikebukuro, last one left!!! Even then I was being dumb and thought about it for about an hour before getting her.

Nah, they are not that weird. Pretty unnoticable and a cheaper alternative to commpleted models. Figma's joints are probably the best out of al the posable figure lines...
(ID #286083) Posted on 2008/09/01 00:33
I want Miku and Nanbu Kaguya...^_^ Lots of great looking figures...thanks for the pics, Danny...^^

the dolls are so~oooo cute!! ^^ but still scary at night ^^; dunno why I dont feel like getting any vocaloid figmas with all those pvc and nendo already.. I want that BIG hatchune "lantern" though!
(ID #286044) Posted on 2008/08/31 23:44
So much want,so little get ^^; well,i cant wait until rin/len/miku figma releases x3 also,is it just me that suddenly has an urge of getting a doll after reading/looking at some of dannys articles? xD
(ID #286045) Posted on 2008/08/31 23:45
It's nice to know that there will be a figure of Yami-chan by GSC too since I had to cancel my pre-order for Alpha x Omega's (every university semester costs more than the previous ^_^''). I hope this one and Alter's new Fate figure won't be released at the same time. I'm still amazed by all those details on that Yoko figure and I still want the black-haired Shana nendoroid. ^_^

Danny, J-List has the Alice figure in stock for 80.00 http://www.jlist.com/PRODUCT/YOYA251

I said it before and I'll say it again: that Yoko is smoking hot...very much want. Some other nice figs there, but the dolls creep me out
(ID #286068) Posted on 2008/09/01 00:13

Loved all figures and figmas, I wonder how my wallet will take the news of so many things to buy. And who's this girl: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/2812836613/sizes/o/ Also, the mask from Miku was ugly!

Excellent coverage, Danny. (I'm unsure of what I'm talking about:) Are those lens flares, or reflections of lights off glass in front of the figures? http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/lens-flare.htm Using a lens hood would make your telezoom stick out even more ^^; In the case they are reflections, I wouldn't know if a polarizing filter helps.

polarizing filter would work as well.

I still want Alter's Yoko the most but Figma Miku looks amazing as well.

i think figma miku and Alter's Yoko is the limelight for this year's event.

I think I see more PVC versions of the Vocaloids... The amount of detail in the Yoko figure is amazing. Wow those dolls are pricy, plus freaky..
(ID #286160) Posted on 2008/09/01 01:51
Nice coverage, Danny. Some of the dolls look really nice. But probably very expensive too:P

What are the chances that the Hatsune Miku Cosplay is being done by a guy? A lot of pics of the new Yoko fingure, but I'm not all that taken by her. I think she's based of the alternate universe version in the last ep where she's a bounty hunter. And if that Sergeant Maritan nendoroid came with a speaker base for her phrases, I would be so sold!!!

I got a chance to shoot with a Saber dollfie http://www.flickr.com/photos/kippei/2650138540/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/kippei/2649321881/ with sword but the owner dun want her armor to be worn :( tough luck
