Ikkitousen Girls
The Wonder Festival coverage started with a few teasers in the News Items a few hours ago and now continues with the Ikkitousen girls. Scroll to the end of the post to see how the coverage will be delivered.
A word of warning though - I've not had time to automate adding Mirai Marks to the photos and am a bit pushed for time - meaning that the photos in this article have no sign of Mirai whatsoever (apart from the top pic). If you are offended by bare naked eyes then please turn away.
The Wonfes 2008 coverage will all be in Wonfes 2008 Winter category and is being brought to you with Akihabara News.
First up is this kit of Kanu by Disk Vision - have a look at the official gallery for better pics.
Disk Vision also makes EVE who we saw the other day but unfortunately she wasn't on display.
Its times like this when I wish I had the time and skills to make figures.
Kanu at the Griffon booth - didn't manage to get decent pics ToT.
Ryomo ready to cuff you.
Ryomo ready to slice you.
Figma Kanu at the Goodsmile booth. Want.
Choun Shiryu at the Alter booth.
Alter Kanu - simply must have.
Orchid Seed Kanu - see better pics and find out why her toe looks like that in this news item - the toe thing is in the comments ^^;
All enemies will instantly loose any battle with Kanu.
Ryomo playing doggie still ready to cuff you.
Choun Shiryu's top has been sliced open for some reason.
I slip and fall and accidentally take this shot. Another word for pantsu is "opanchu."
Not seen much of Ikkitousen but I heard that Choun Shiryu is supposed to be blind? I see many figures of her with her eyes open...
Poor Kanu always does her top in when fighting.
Kanu must spend a lot on buying new sailor fuku after a fight.
And here are the rest of the pics of this Kanu kit that I posted as a teaser earlier on.
This is a Yasumi-chan kit and you can see more decent pics at the official site.
This kit costs 16,800 yen and is 1/6 scale. 21 pieces.
Lord. Lookie at zat bottom.
Can I teach you more useful Japanese words? Oh alright then. Please look away if you don't want to have this word stuck in your head and utter it by accident on a train.
The word is "Yoko Pai" [横パイ] and refers to the side of the "eye."
Just like Summertime, I anticipate that this will come out as a painted figure - but probably be priced just like Summer time at around 17,640 yen.
Ryomo's Yoko Pai.
Ryomo ready to slice and dice you.
More Yoko Pai.
I slip and fall again.
Folks who can make and paint figures are geniuses.
Click to enlarge - this is what the rest of the coverage will look like. Many updates in the news items too so keep em peeled.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

ALTER Kan-u definitely a must have ^^;
Not really interreted in the rest.
No Hakufu nor Ryofu? Or did you just not take picture of them?

Lots of Ikki Tousen figure and now 3rd season of anime is coming out as well. More figures from the series I bet +_+
Student and full-time otaku
Never watched Ikki Tousen, but just heard they're doing a third season, so maybe it's time I caught up.
The figures are amazing, whish they'd come out as prepaints, because I'm about as talented as an ape with a stick when it comes to painting ToT

Wow... i'm not info figures but these are goood... not offended at all!
Though i'm more into the oposite gender, these figures still gave me a shiver lol... scary!
And yes i agree a lot with you on the point that people who can make and paint those figure are awesome, it takes a lot of skill to get such a level of detail, it's just stunning.
I wonder if i can tear up my clothes like that without geting a single scratch... (i seriously watch to much anime, it could put me in danger hehe)
.oO(On a second thought, i like my clothes to much to ruin them.)

Finally a standing figure of Choun I can get along with. And to top it off Alter is producing it!
I can't wait for the full coverage posts to start popping up over the net.

Yoko pai sounds like something tasty. Hmm...

lvl up vocab! So, yoko pai for side boobs, what about underboobs?
???Confused???
Well Danny from my understanding from the manga, Choun Shiryu is not blind, but she has this like serious "I'll kill you" look when she has 'em open to show she means business, so she keeps her eyes closed so she doesn't scare people...and probably to show off she she kick @$$ with her eyes closed...
lovin' the Alter Choun Shiryu and looking forward to their completely colored Kanu...so far the Orchid Seed Kanu is on the top of my list tickling my fancy...

Oh damn! That first Disk Vision Kanu caught my eye. Usually not into the "realistic" look for figures, but that beautiful face and amazing body sculpt is simply unbelievable. I'll even forgive the shiny, spidery hair cause I'm distracted by her yummy Yoko Pai. I want WHOLE Pai!
ひきこもり/Hikikomori. Suits my current state more than a 大学生/University Student. ^^
Time to seriously hunt Ikkitousen, now that I've seen how nosebleed-inducing this series can be~
Bum
wowzers. That realistic Kanu is something. I had many times tried to imagine what she'd look like in real life, but I could never get it right. That figure certainly helps quite a bit.

Had watched Ikkitousen before, but never really caught on to the series. But those figures really looks good, maybe it's time for me to hunt and re-analyze the series.

kinda like griffon's release this time.
ryoumo shinmei (pardon spellin) looks cool with the ready to dice you pose
kanu's figure is just so ...sooo lustfull
Ork Warlord
I see amaizing figures there, but the only problem I see with Ikkitousen figures is that basically all are for three characters:Guan Yu(Kanu),Lu Meng(Ryomu)or Zhao Yun(Shiryuu). They hardly make figures for Sun ce(Sonsaku), and even more less for others characters like Zhang Fei(Chouhi)or Xiaohu Yuan(Kakouen)... Please, more variety!!

Every Ikki Tousen figure I've ever seen never disappointed. That very first one you photoed Danny has to be my favorite. Kanu really looks like a real girl there yet keeps her anime look.

Hmm, I'm not really a fan of the Disk Vision version of Kanu and the two figures of Kanu below the Choun Shiryu don't appeal me at all.
The rest is just wow, in particular the Griffon ones. I'm also impressed by the Figma one, at least for a first time.

Beautiful, stunning figures.. I can only drool watching their gorgeous yoko pai X3
Looks like Ikkitousen characters is one of the most favorite choice for figure design, but where is Sonsaku Hakufu?
gyahhhh!!!! love 'em all!

Ah, Ikkitousen, how we love thee....
Although I don't think Kanu spends too much on Fuku. After all, it's usually apparent that she just shops in the kids section. Probably cheaper.

I really like the first Kanu figure. the other ones look sooooo hot.

Anyways, interesting how Ikkitousen remains big on those kinda events... I wonder why (irony).

Hmm... I'll keep an eye out for the Alter Choun Shiryu, looks great. I have an interest in Japanese swords and her katana actually looks reasonably realistic, even down to the shiny silk tsukaito (handle wrapping). Any idea on when this might be available?
I already have the Alter Kanu Unchou on pre-order.... that figure is a serious must-have for anybody interested in Ikki Tousen characters.

Wow Ikkitousen girls rock i still need to finish reading the manga. Nice Danny!

Hmmm, after I checked on the official website, I think she will be released as resin kit. Hope they'll make the PVC version also. [pray]

I don't really like any of the Ikki Tousen girls for some reason. I own a lot of figures and not a single Ikki Tousen one. Seems like most other peoples collections have nothing but Ikki Tousen women.
If I ever HAD to own an Ikki Tousen figure I'd probably pick the black limited variant of that Alter Kanu.

Kan-u is my favorite from the Series and I'm glad to see a lot of her up there ^^ but I'd definitely get the ALTER Kan-u but how come no Ryofu or Hakufu?
