Let's see, right now... Including opened, unopened, and ordered, it'll be 84 figures of all sizes. (Or just 81 for 1/8-scale or larger.) But if you remove the 3 "Star Wars" and 2 "Tomb Raider" figures, it'll be 79 ANIME figures of all sizes. (Or just 76 for 1/8-scale or larger.) To peek at a few photoshoots: http://www.xjaymanx.com/toybox/anime/anime-figure-list ( View formatted comment » )

Nice! Typically, since Mirai-chan has natural colored hair, I'd say her sister should too. But then again, anime colored hair could hold a subtle meaning~ anything from being a half sister to having hidden powers! ^_^; Looking forward to the final shading! Now I can integrate her in my next fan art, haha. ( View formatted comment » )

Ah, in the words of Obi-wan (Ep. IV): "You see? You can do it." Congrats! Applause! ^_^ ( View formatted comment » )

Hmmm, dark-side tsundere rival for Mirai~ Now that I think about it, yeah... I *could* create an anime version of my *Firefly* character Akiko "Lucky" Yoshikawa: http://www.xjaymanx.com/xjaymanx/Images-firefly/xluckyx01c.jpg ( View formatted comment » )

Necro: Definitely, thought about it more times than I can count. But holding back cuz I don't often have free time to draw anyway. And always something else to buy, lol. Demi: LOL, why not? Although Danny just posted about having TWO sisters for Mirai! ^_^ Henry: Thanx, dude. Appreciated! Benjamin: Thanx! Maybe the *Progress* link I included might give u an idea how? ^_^; Guru: Tons by now! Not only Mirai's *Mascot* page, but I've seen 2 others, and who knows how many emails Danny received?

Danny: Hey, no apologies necessary. We all understand! ^_^ Peace: Thanx! Don't forget the 1800x1200 version, lol. XSport: Thanx! Yup, I tried to add a hint of Motoko's style to Mirai's suit. ^.^ Noob: Hahaha, not so LOUD! Thanx, man... Hey, girls with guns, right? D_Blade: Thanx! Prank or no prank, still works for me! ^_^; Gordon: LOL, who knows? Not soon, but we'll see... Skanky: Hmmm, reading the 1800x1200 version, not really, lol... But let's ask Danny, can Hector voice-act? =P Chun: *Bows* Than... ( View formatted comment » )

Exactly, that's what I recall too... In fact, the last time Danny posted Mirai fan art, he talked about working on Kako too. So the backstory wasn't all a prank. ^_^; http://www.dannychoo.com/adp/eng/887/Anime+Art.html ( View formatted comment » )

LOL, yeah, hard to believe, Mirai is actually an action heroine! But we never see her in battle mode! A few months after Danny introduced her in Jan 2007, he outlined the plot of Mirai's sci-fi anime in Apr 2007. http://www.dannychoo.com/adp/eng/801/Mirai+gets+her+own+Anime!.html ( View formatted comment » )

Nice catch, guys! My little homage to that memorable post-apocalyptic series. ^_^; ( View formatted comment » )

Wow Chun, so simple yet so effective! Maybe I'll wait a little longer before I post my *complicated* fan art, lol. ^_^; ( View formatted comment » )

Thanx, lol. Not much work really, just carefully position the figures in front of my monitor, and shoot the camera! I posted the photoshoot link above. ^_^; ( View formatted comment » )

P.S. Oh yeah, for anyone interested in more, the full *Saber Trooper* photoshoot lives here (Enjoy!): http://www.xjaymanx.com/xjaymanx_2007/4000-wide-sabertrooper.php ( View formatted comment » )

Dammit, I guess the "anti" hai-jacking backfired! Back to the drawing board, haha... ^_^; P.S. But really, Stormtroopers who can't see a thing through their helmet, and can't feel a thing through their gloves? How the heck did they become the most fearsome military force in the Galaxy? ( View formatted comment » )

LOL, I was thinking the same. Love that "?" for the not-quite-Japanese girl. Maybe need more "?" for "Girl or guy?" ^_^; ( View formatted comment » )

Good luck, Danny! But I'm sure you'll do fine. While my few experiences are nothing near international, once you begin, your instincts, reflexes, and likability should come through. Just be yourself, right? And after it's over, it'll all seem like a blur anyway, lol... We're all cheering for you! (Reminds me of Densha Otoko, lol.) Go Otaku Otoko! P.S. You could always wear your armor, right? ^_^; ( View formatted comment » )

Nice coloring! But Danny's taking his sweet old time making his next *fan art* post, ain't he? LOL ^_^ P.S. As a fellow Mirai fan-artist, my only constructive criticism (or personal preference) is that I don't like to hide hands or legs... Maybe another version showing her right arm? ^_^; ( View formatted comment » )

No prob! Windbell added some more info above. ^_^ ( View formatted comment » )

Ah, I recognize the yellow school uniform! She's from *Hoshiful*. That image appears towards the bottom of the *Hoshiful* webpage here... http://hoshiful.com/products/#shop ( View formatted comment » )

Impressive! I'd love to be able to create 3D as well as 2D... So then what do we call 2D girls who've been turned into 3D figures? Still 2D? ^_^; ( View formatted comment » )

LOL, the *Super Genintari*? Hmmm, just stick your favorite Luke Skywalker quote here~ "I could almost buy my own ship for that!" Or perhaps, "What a piece of junk!" J/K ^_^ ( View formatted comment » )

P.S. Danny, intriguing *oniichan* idea! Funny that I've toyed with Shiro Otoko as Kako's (but not Mirai's) parallel-reality father, so it wouldn't be a stretch to make him a parallel *oniichan* instead, lol. Nonetheless, Shiro or not~~ Sounds like a great concept for my overdue third drawing! ^_^ ( View formatted comment » )

Very nice! Those twin pigtails suggests she's tsundere, right? LOL ^_^ P.S. Thanx for the reminder! As requested, emailed my last art piece. ( View formatted comment » )

LOL, classic Danny prank! Some might compare to Amadeus, "too many notes"? Haha, brilliant! ^_^ ( View formatted comment » )

Hey, nice Kino shot! But you're right, in the "Kino no Tabi" anime, she chooses to adopt the name and live the life of the man who saves her. Great haunting series, which is why I ordered her in the first place, haha. Thanx again. ^_^ ( View formatted comment » )
