Lots involved in organizing a figure show which is taking just a wee bit longer than imagined. In the meantime, we'll use the "Tokyo Figure Show" title to go through my latest batch of figure samples.

Tokyo Office
Was going to do the A Week in Tokyo today but wanted to get this out first. Going to hire another head soon and would rather keep working from our first floor a bit more until the 5th staff member comes on board - meaning that a new office layout is...
Tokyo Doll Show
A quick going over the latest with my Dollfie Daughters before I don armor and make a dash for a networking event at Appliya in Roppongi - Appliya being relevant to this post as you will read later on in this photo article.
And before I forget ag...
Tokyo Figure Show
Got a load of un-reviewed figures piling up so I thought I'd stick a load in a single post - do let me know if you prefer a single review per figure though.
Taking these photos this morning inspired me with an idea. Already gaining experience org...

Thanks to doll seamstress Chun, Aoi-chan is feeling a bit warmer with her new wardrobe.
Before I forget, BJD is an abbreviation for Ball Jointed Doll or "Kyu Tai Kansetsu Ningyo" [球体関節人形] in Japanese.
Watch the Johnathan Ross Japanorama s...
Figma
Taken last Saturday night at the Good Smile Company offices after my slot on the broadcast - here for those who missed it.

Usually at around this time of year, a major figure event called the Wonder Festival takes place at Tokyo Big Sight where otaku can enjoy looking/buying the latest garage kits, figures, Dollfies and indulge in some cosplay too.
Unfortunately there...

dannychoo.com in 2008
New years greetings comrades! How is the beginning of 2009 treating you so far?
Wanted to publish the events and highlights of 2008 yesterday but was eager to get pics of the Dollfies up.
First pic recently taken in Odaiba with the Lumix LX3.
Dollfie Dream
Have always seen Dollfies at figure shows before but didn't really take notice of them until the last Chara Hobby where I saw a gorgeous Dollfie Asuka - but cost [currency=54000]...
Then got a better look at the quality of Volks Saber Dollfie in...
Merri Kurisumasu 2008
Festive seasons greetings comrades! or "Merri Kurusumasu" as one would say in the Rand of the Lising Sun. While the Japanese do "celebrate" Christmas, its mainly for the monetary spirit - most of the Christmas decorations will be taken down either to...
Hobby Complex
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,...
Tower of SAFS
Yet another tower of SAFS has risen within the depths of Mirai Inc. The eyes of the tower occupants see all those who wear the ring. Those eyes occasionally wobble from time to time sending fear through all who attempt to return the ring to the tower...
Video Awards Japan 2008
My Tokyo Rock Trooper video has been nominated for the best video in the Video Blog category for the YouTube Video Awards Japan 2008. My comrade at Google asked me to make a vid asking folks to vote for me - which I done but that alone would have bee...

Human Mage
A really quick n dirty, short n sharp review today as I still have a ton of stuff to do before I leave for Singapore tomorrow. Got some friends over who will be staying while we are gone and am in the middle of entertaining them and working ^^;

Nendoroid Shana
Having difficulty deciding which my fave Nendoroid is now that I has the Dengeki Daioh version of Shana. This Neko mimi thing is really growing on me ^^;
Kuugen Tenko
I think I watched the first EP of Wagaya no Oinarisama but didn't get round to watching the rest. Do remember the girls in it being cute though.
And how about the back of the figure - most certainly inspired by Firefox?
