12月23日のWHFに行ってきました。美少女フィギュアはたっくさんあったけど、ガンダム系は少なかった。
取材チームと一緒にいったので取材パスをもらって写真をたくさん撮ることができました。

Great pictures Danny! Looks like a fun time. You take excellent photos. Wish I could had gone. Take care...

Looks great! I like all the pictures!

Oh BTW that is Lunamaria Hawk's ZAKU Some might say its the Live Concert Ver. that Meer Campbell used briefly because of its pink look but its slightly more red and the fact that it has the Gunner Wizard pack says to me it belongs to Lunamaria ^_^

I usually sell my repainted kits in Hong Kong, and compare prices with other modelers of the same kit and knock the price down 15% Unless its and extremely popular kit and I spent a lot of time on it. Usually in Hong Kong most MG, depending on the model will sell for 800-1200hkd well over 100 USD. PG will go for 1200-3000hkd, then we have the resin kits or customs going for 2000hkd and up.

The name you're searching for the girl is Rio.
She's from a Pachislot video game

Y60,000 for the Minna figure isn't so bad. The one they used on the show cost a whopping Y400,000 to be made!!!

Thanks for sharing Danny! Those are some awesome pics.  

Lavie got me a statuette of Mizuho for Christmas. Kawaii!  She just makes my heart sing!  Now it's Christmas all over again with these pictures of her!

Question: Are these mostly garage-kits that were prepared for the show? Or are some of them destined by the manufacturer for finished retail to Otaku like me?  Ahh, how things have changed. When I was growing up, models were B-17 bombers, P51 Mustangs and some hot-rods. Too bad I didn't know about these! Then again, maybe it was a good thing.  

Now if I can only find some LastExile Vanship models.....

Ahhh, Star Blazers...I mean, Yamato. One of the two anime series that got me hooked. Ok, please forgive my ignorance, but are these garage kits made by hobbyists or by small manufacturers?

You mis-identified Hitomi as Kasumi in in of your pics. The name on the card clearly says Hitomi.

Oh man... Great pictures. If only they had conventions like that here in Hawaii. It's too bad, no one here has the money or resources to host a huge convention like that.
