Otaku

The last installment of the Wonfes coverage which consists of the remaining bishojo figures.
I know many of you are not into figures and are more interested in the Japan articles like A Week in Tokyo but do you have a quick gander at the figure articles anyway?
The normal schedule of articles will resume soon but will consist of more figure coverage than usual - especially after spending a day at the Good Smile and Max Factory offices/studio - posted a photo in the News Items of Lala being sculpted - a few more exclusives soon.
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 don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

I wonder what would Lelouch/Suzaku say if either of them walked into a room and saw C.C. and Shirley in that pose...
I'll be looking forward to your figure reviews, Danny!
super otaku, doujin-ka
Lelouch: "C.C.x Shirley what the heck is this a Britannian Comiket Cosplay contest!!!!!!!"
Suzaku: "I'm gonna take a picture of this and upload it on YouTube, VEOH, Nico Nico Douga, and every site on the net!!!"
(Lelouch walks up)
Lelouch: Holy ****, Shirley and C.C. are hermaphrodites (man-lady)
C.C./Shirley: (embarrassed) It's exactly what looks like.....
Oh CRAP
(Lelouch cracks his knuckles)
Lelouch: C.C. (C-TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO), SHIRLEEEEEEEY!!!!!!!!
(over the top slapstick DRAGONBALL style fanservicey violence happens as Lelouch inflicts pain on Shirley and C.C., while Suzaku is laughing)
ひきこもり/Hikikomori. Suits my current state more than a 大学生/University Student. ^^
In my opinion, C.C and Karen don't look so good here >_<

I'm enjoying the figure coverage of Wonfes, and also the other figures which are constantly coming out. The only problem is, it is flattening my wallet and draining my bank dry, that's my only complaint!

I wonder who is this character, and from which series did she came from. Looks lolicious.

@crashcat, that's an image from the Sweet Body illustration book. I don't know if she's actually part of any eroge.
Thanks for all the coverage, Danny! Great to see all these awesome figures that will cause us major blood loss, especially since not everyone could be there. ^^;

I think I need to create a new strategy for buying figures. Need to get very scientific about all this figures buying... ^^ Seriously, I want to start taking more photos and need to decide just what it is I want to buy.
Danny, I enjoy Wonfes and all event coverage. After all, that is where your site started. Why break with tradition I say. Having said that, I enjoy the "Week in Tokyo" type articles as well. You strike a nice balance in coverage. I think that has something to do with dannychoo.com's popularity.
In the future, I think I need to update my modeling tools and start building resin figures again.
Question for you Danny, how are people learning to cast figures in Japan? Are there studios giving apprenticeships or such?

Hmm... That C.C./Kallen figure is kinda questionable. Nice idea though.
What I wanna know is which company's making that Nagi figure? The quality is pretty good, so its nice to know that similar quality HnG figures are gonna be made in the near future.
And of course your figure posts rock, Danny! But then again so do your Week in Tokyo articles. I'm sure your other readers won't mind the odd figure article, especially in the wake of WonFes. The quality of photography is good enough reason for a start! XD

Well Danny-o, been a hectic week eh? Well thanks from all of us here for the extensive coverage, and site mods. We all appreciate it. *customary bow* Good show indeed.
Now go let yourself be an otaku, don't worry about us, and enjoy your new figures.

I'll find a way somehow to get that figure... dunno yet how, but I will!

I am more into the Japan articles but I do look at the figures articles too. I see figures that I would like to own but my games/anime budget does not have room to add figures in too. But if I found a really good Beldandy figure I don't think I would be able to resist.

La virgen!! Louise, Mao, Ryubi(the girl lay down with pochis)and the girls for Code Geass, what are exactly doing...?
I think don´t have more saliva to drop, at this rate I`ll need glasses, my poor eyeeeees!! Danny, you want to kill meeeee!!
Thanks for the WF coverage, thank you very much!!

Certainly not bored but the dannychoo.com feed from my website is broken :( - is it because your pages are loading too slow?
Also, I think the people that would rather watch poo dry, are probably just into that anyways... nice way to flush out those with a poo fetish. ^_^
Student (for-ev-er)
No way Danny. I like the variety of your articles, including this. I'm not so into figurines, but most of these are really good! Kinda makes me want to get some.
Keep it up.

Then it wasn't as interesting though. Good looking as a figure but not so very good looking in the anime.

Keep the figure posts coming, but suplement them 1 for 1 with something else.
I could really care less I would still come to DC.com even is where just a figure blog. I am getting a little creeped out at all of the porn'esque figures though. Dont get me wrong i like sexy figures as much as the next person, however i think there is a line that some of these cross.

I've seen a number of pretty cool figures I wouldn't mind owning, but I just don't have the space right now. Plus, going all out would deplete my travel fund. *sigh* Just have to wait for awhile longer
I appreciate all of the articles, but I do tend to favor the figure highlights and I've been loving the Won Fes coverage.
Speaking of which...
Please tell me that Ignis is pvc! I love the Ryuubi lying down reading and I'm definitely looking forward to the releases of Sherrice and Shiori.

the wonfes coverage is great! i really enjoyed it.
i like dannychoo.com for it's japanese culture/lifestyle posts, figures, anime news, babes and the humor. so it's good to have a healthy balance of these elements.
cheers and rock on. ^^;
Throughly enjoyed the wonfes coverage. Thanks a bunch danny!
Some very good figures in this post including Nao, and Rin in uniform. The first one looks very high grade too, though I don't know who it is. I'm surprised they made a figure from mai-otome, and especially because it's a figure of Erstin.

My favorites are the Mabinogi one, that girl in the pink T-shirt with her hand raised (I have no idea who she is), and that Cyrille from Shining Force EXA.
That Zero no Tsukaima one is also nice...but I'm not fond of figures with handcuffs for some reason...I have no idea why.
