It's time to feast your mince pies on the mecha/starwars goodies that were at the Wonder Festival. The event was so big that Gonzague and I were flat out after going through all the toys on the first floor and just ended up skimming through the secon...

Today we are going to take a look at some of the cosplay shenanigans that took place at the Wonder Festival. Most of it is really fun but some of it is...spooky. What you do is line up in front of the cosplayer and wait your turn to take a few shots....

#v#wf_movie.jpg#v# For those who wanted to come to the Wonder Festival but couldn't make it, I hope this 13 minute video will give you an idea of what was on show - you get to participate in the comfort of your own Gundam pilot seat and dont have to...

Another useful Japanese word - Shinda (死んだ(しんだ)) which is the past tense of the verb Shinu (死ぬ(しぬ)) which means "to die". I used the past tense because I am physically dead and my soul is typing this entry as my body rejuvenates for another...

Continuing with the Wonder Festival Summer cosplay coverage. Sunday was hot - so hot that I decided that I would probably die in armor on the train from the heat so decided to drive to Big Site and change in the car park instead. You can see more pi...

Absolutely hectic day yesterday. Wonder Festival in the morning, filming HDTV in the afternoon and off to an Idol event in the afternoon. Being a full time employee at Microsoft and a full time otaku can be tough at times ^^; Hmmmm, maybe I should gi...

Continuing with the Wonder Festival 2007 Winter shenanigans. Today we are going to look at the Mecha/ETC stuff. When I say "ETC" I mean stuff that really didn't fit in yesterdays Figures post and doesn't fit in tomorrow's Cosplay post. As with each...

Wonder Festival coverage continues with the cosplay. Went in armor Last time but found it difficult to take pictures so decided to go in plain civilian apparel. The usual Gundam cosplayers were there but this time round it looks like they upgraded t...

From the amount of comments from the previous Mirei-san post, I guess that many of you are also looking forward to her release. Got to see her in the flesh at the show but forgot my glass cutter (darn). You probably know that she comes with interch...

Decided to save the best of the Wonfes 2007 coverage for the end. Evangelion cosplay. Shame Asuka wasn't there. Keeping it short n sweet today as I get back to playing Gundam Musou ^^;

I need to leave in a bit for the Good Smile offices soon so leaving you with only the 10 min video of todays Wonder Festival 2007 [Summer]. Let me know if the titles at the end of the video are cut off for you - the video seems to get stuck in You...

To my right is Aki TakaNori (president of Good Smile Company), below me is Max Watanabe (president of Max Factory), to the left of me is David from Otakukun.com and the rest of the members are project leaders who work on GSC/MAX products.

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 lo...

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 serie...

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)....

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.

Next up are some Ikkitousen figures. This figure of Kano was gorgeous but alas a garage kit.

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...

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."

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...

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.

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.

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.

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 thi...
