Tokyo Figure Show 2
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.
This photo article has 82 photos which will likely cause Google Reader to balk - click through to the actual post or subscribe to updates by Email.
First up is the lovely Haruhi Gekisou version by Max Factory.
Nicely sculpted and great colors.
Awesome details on the guitar.
The back of her skirt reminds me of Zeong ^^;
Check out the 3D Gekisou Haruhi below.
Shes available at your fave online retailer now or check out some of the trusted partners below.

Next up is Konjiki no Yami who you can see in action below.
Another quality release from Good Smile Company.
While I do like this figure a lot, she takes up quite a bit of space and I tend to retire the ones which require a lot of room to display.
If you have got the spare space however, Yami is a great figure to use up that space.
Her hair and skirt are all over the gaff.
Swirls of hair and bits of the skirt are sharp so be careful when taking a closer peek at her pantsu or may your eye be poked out.
Some of these in the Wallpaper Pool.
Lovely eyes but could do with a wee bit more details around the mouth?
Uesugi Kenshin by Freeing - check out the huge box and photos without the Mirai mark at Foo Bar Baz.
I would display Uesugi in her b'day suit but all the armor would have gone to waste so I gave her up for adoption.
The lovely Yoko by Gift. Yoko in action below.
Lovely shitapai.
Extremely well crafted and painted.
Yoko's yoko-pai.
Initially thought her head looked a bit big from the pre-release photos.
Mikuru Gekisou version by Max Factory.
Lovely smile.
Particularly like the colors on this figure.
Very sweet indeed.
Would have been cool if the tambourine could jingle.
Orchid Seed Mabinogi Nao who we gave away in a previous giveaway. See Nao being rendered below in Photoshop.
Nicely shaped eyes.
Non-castoffable although it looks like they added all the detailing under her shorts.
Thanks to HobbyLink Japan for za sanpuru.
Feather is removable so you can stick other stuff in her hand too - just make sure you don't hurt yourself in the process.
Next up is Shining Wind Elmina from Kotobukiya.
Speaking of Kotobukiya - a tour of the studio where they sculpt all the figures coming soon.
Something I nabbed from the a meeting with Kotobukiya last week - Rogue. Still yet to open.
I don't think I ever got round to reviewing this figure of Feena Fam Earthlight.
By Max Factory and was released in April of 2008. She comes with a hat and waist towel too. Some of Feena in the OP below.
Hoshii Miki by Max Factory and time to introduce one of my fave Idol Master MADs to date.
This version of Miki comes with neko mimi and paws.
Adorable Nendoroid Louise - see her playing with herself below.
Nendoroid Excelica. Looks like a tough game but would still like to give it a whirl. Excelica comes with the PS2 game but I only got the sample.
Some Triggerheart Excelica action below.
Awesomely sweet but difficult to carry around.
Next up is the muchi muchi Tamaki Kousaka by Kotobukiya.
"Muchi muchi" [ムチムチ] refers to "having a lot of meat or fat on (something)."
Very nice bod indeed.
Her "bra" is a tad small for my tastes but still a nice figure.
Nicely sculpted rear side.
Ideal for a wedding present.
My fave out of this bunch - Nendoroid Rin.
Some Rin in action in the OP for the OVA below
Love twintail Nendoroids as most of them can stand without the plastic base.
One of my fave Figmas - the Haruhi Summer version.
Love this face!
To many nice figmas and too little space.
Incredibly sweet.
Some of these figma bags arrived with the last bunch O figures too.
Forgot to take photos of this for the Boys Toys article - the Tomahawk Destroid from the Macross series.
A classic design.
Cockpit opens up.
Some vintage Macross below.
Legs are well articulated.
The "eat-my-lead" pose.
Next is Unity Mei (May) from Good Smile.
You can fine Mei in action in the eroge Unity Marriage.
You may remember seeing this figure during the production stages from when I was on CNN below.
Those gold pipes kinda remind me of Aliens...
The cloak and hat are removable. The yellow bits covering her eyes are removable too but her pupils are not painted on.
Next is Kanu Uncho by Griffon - see her in action VS Sonsaku below.
Kanu comes with a pair of pantsu that you stick halfway down her legs which I thought looked rather odd.
Nopan desu.
The huge 1/7 scale Signum by Alter - watch her unleashing a load of weaponry below.
Lovely figure but maybe difficult to display as her sword gets in the way and covers her face.
The sword can be placed in her hand facing down but looks a wee bit odd.
Nice eyes.
If you are going to look at her from the side or above then you will be able to see her face but not from the front.
Get Signum from HobbyLink Japan for 8,800 yen.
Next up is Elwing from Shining Wind - available from HobbyLink Japan for 5,800 yen.
Interesting how once upon a time I didn't like pointy ears but now think they are fine - especially the pointy ears on Tiffania. We need a decent Tiffania figure now.
A few unopened goodies - Makina Hoshimura from Shikabane Hime. The anime looks really good - tis recommended?
Good Smile Horo. Wasnt a huge fan.
Nankyoku Sakura from Penguin Musume - another show which I never got round to watching. I do remember meeting the voice actress at Good Smile one day - she was saying how Sakura has really big oppai.
And this was some of the latest arrivals.

I still think Haruhi Gekisou version, and nend Rin are the best out of the bunch. I had both preorder, but cancelled. No regrets, but they would have been nice to have.

i love the Gekisou but after getting Mikuru, it seems that she kinda pales in comparison. Yuki's expression is too cool but guess it's in chara too, but it'll prolly look better when all three are displayed together.
love most of the stuff up there but sadly, can't afford them all, not with the wedding coming. >_<

I love every characters mentioned above, cho kawaii!!! Also wish dollar value will go up soon, making the figures' price go up too much T_T
SOS Brigade Leader
If Dollar will go up doesn't that mean Pounds , Yen , Ringgit Malaysia , and all the other currencies will go down also .
Since Yen is now the current highest currency in the world , I don't think Dollar will go up for a loooong time .
Ringgit Malaysia is going up steadily which is Happy to Malaysians ^_^

Very nice group of figures once again! All of them look great, especially the Alter Signum and figmas and Nendos, but I think my favorite of the bunch is the Summer Haruhi ^^ As seen on my desk post, she has a permanent post with digicam on top of my CRT with her ponytail head =D I was thinking about picking up Makina also, but have never seen Shikabane-hime either, and prefer melee weapons over ranged, with bows being an exception ;) figma Signum is going to be so awesome XD

Its hard to choose just one figure out of the all the marvelous pictures but I still like Yoko with her nice eyes.
Haven't seen To love ru OVA yet , I should download it with torrent .
Thinking that one of these figures will be a giveaway figure ^_^ .
Konji No Yami in English is Golden Darkness right ? because I've seen the anime with ENG SUB before .

Rin is indeed very cherish & kawaii, love her smile~~~
Shikabane Hime was enjoyable, but with so many better anime in the list, not really recommend for us who already have less time to watch anime.
Rin for being my favorite on the list.

I've had Signum for a while now so I'll have to say Nendoroid Rin is my fav out of the bunch^^
Really don't like Unity May and it's all because of the pipes on the back :(
Where are some Minami-ke figures!?
Someday I'll get that Horo and Haruhi Gekisou.

True! I want to see some Minami-ke figures as well!

Fav is Haruhi summer ver. out of this bunch, she arrived for me this morning! Such cute expressions~
There wasn't a bag with it though.. I wish I had blue one of those, I absolutely love them! I really really hope MF is going to sell those (and other figma accessory) loose.

Not only figure show/event but other different kinds of events as well. Some people thinks that organizing events are easy and are just a walk in the park but they don't know how much blood, tears and sweat are put into organizing events.
I always wanted to know how other countries organize their events and how they differ from the ones that we've doing here ^____^

have been thinking about this for a while, does figure that stands with only one leg and dangerous position like signum here can support the weight? i've seen figures that goes leans like pisa tower after a while.

http://meimi132.wordpress.com/
Out of that lot...me wants Yami, Tama-nee and Elwing... Wouldn't mind any of the others ofc lol. But those are my faves. I do agree that Tama-nees bikini top is a tad on the shrunken side lol.
Oh! And if you do retire Yami early, I'd be happy to take her off your paws lol.

Haruhi Gekisou looks really good. Although the one i want the most from that list has to be Nendoroid Excelica, followed by Rin.
Student
http://foxkey.blog126.fc2.com/
Very nice angle shots of all figures.
I'd have to say that the Horo figure was my favourite out of the bunch, up second by Konjiki no Yami.
And to think most of those were free. I'm sure given for promotion, and boy does it work, time to order some!
writer
One of the many things about the Haruhi Gekisou figure is that it definitely sets a high bar for the inevitable K-On figures. Of course, that mark will be decimated when we get a teeth picking variant of Yui.

Just had to pick one on the choices but from all of them i prefer:
1. Signum

3. Kokonoe Rin
4. Excelica
Awesome parade!

Well, to be honest, my favourite out of the bunch would be Nendoroid Rin. I can't say that I'm really excited by any of the other characters.
Will be getting the Figma version of Signum instead and not really interested in the Gekisou figures as I've been getting Alter's recent renditions of the Haruhi girls.
Is Shikabane Hime a recommended series? HELL YEAH. The ending was particularly satisfying.
None
Haruhi uses an Italia Mondial guitar. Talk about obscure. I've never seen this guitar anywhere but wielded by Haruhi. I guess it suits her personality.

Yami caught my eyes on this one. Love her attire as well as the sculpting for her hair. ^^

I have all 3 of the Haruhi Gekisou set, expensive but the workmanship and detail are excellent. Yami (and her hair) I also have , the hair detail is amazing, just don't poke your eye out with it when taking a closer look, the plastic is hard and very sharp and pointy.
student
http://rinrinne.wordpress.com/
so far, i like the Konjiki no Yami figure since she is already part of my collection. but all of those other figures look lively. will buy them sometime in the mere future but for now, I do enjoy my current collection.

I can't believe the amount of SAFS I'm seeing O.O Rin has to be my favorite out of the bunch.
Self Employed // Graphic Artist // Clothing
Favorites of this bunch are Gift Yoko and Haruhi Gekisou, which I too received earlier this week with Mikuru Gekisou. I love the Yoko figure a bit more because of the size and the details are very very nice on that one. Mikuru is all about that face, she looks lovely in that dress but Haruhi takes my vote first so yea.
I really liked that Tamaki and waiting for my Kotobukiya's Rogue as well ^^. That Tamaki I find rather interesting, but maybe waiting on the Black Bikini version, wich I think looks a bit smexier /drool.
Awesome loots Dany,a nd thank for sharing the pics ^^.

with all the SAFS, people might soon mistaken your house for a figure store.
anyway has certainly been a long time since i last saw the Mirai mark. ('~')
as the others mentioned, there's no rogue in the poll. i will definitely vote for her! can't wait for mine to arrive.
lastly, figma haruhi in summer clothes. i got the green bag though i would have preferred the blue one. and good thing i looked at this article with the picture of the bag. i realise the removable bag handle on mine is missing and quickly went to the waste basket and found it inside the little black plastic bag. if not i would have lost it forever.

Lots of things to comment on but some went away ^^;;
I finished watching Shikabane Hime yesterday and was quite pleased with the series. Aside from the horror, it has a good story line, although the beginning of the series is kinda slow...but it gets really good towards the end of the season.
The Gekisou Figures look amazing! I hope i get some money and buy them all since they are quite pricey for me ^^;;

Can't wait to see the rocker Yuki get reviewed. Shikabane Hime did look good but I think I was only attracted to the concept of a girl wielding akimbo Mac10s. After the first episode, it failed to leave an impression on me... I might get around to watching it again though.

Uh, well... y'know... yeah, I mean the size difference is quite obvious for what I was thinking after all. Who's got something at that size anyway? It doesn't look painful if you're thinking of just fingers, but I digress...

Lovely figures as always! Love all of the Haruhi Gekisou figures, those are on my get list. Gift Yoko is really well done. Saw the Excelica figure with the PS2 game at the con I was just at for $200, so I doubt I'll ever get her, but she's a nice figure as well. However the cuteness award goes to the Louise and Rin Nendoroids :) So adorable and a definite get!

For some reason, the poll options aren't showing up for me....
I'd go with the Haruhi Gekisou, Horo for sure, and maybe Yoko.

You're a lucky man Danny. The only ones I have from those up there are Rin and Golden Darkness, but I'm about to get a Haruhi Gekisou, one that I've been hoping to get for a long time.

I actually just got back from Japan. It was my first time and it was wonderful. (That's what she said.) I hauled back tons of manga (read: Ero mangas) and lots of figures. Like...10, and another 3 preordered.
I saw many of these figures in person and contrary to what you guys see here, the Gekisou Haruhi was slightly underwhelming, not as vibrant in person. However, the Mikuru one was...brilliant. Now this means a lot, coming from me, as I usually hate everything and ANYTHING Mikuru. Starting with the voice all the way to her manner of dress. The Gekisou Mikuru was beautiful and I really wanted to purchase it. Too bad the one I saw was already on hold for another customer. Actually the reason I joined DannyChoo was so I could chronicle my trip to Japan and hopefully help others that are trying to find their way to the land of the rising sun. When my probationary period is over, I'll post my stuff. =]

nice review. rin is too cute! I have elmina and yami on pre-order from months ago just waiting on them. sadly may be the last figures for a while. The prices are getting too high for me T_T (although I may have to make an exception for the last couple shining wind figures ^^;)
Film Student, BA
Love the guitar, and of course the details on all the other figures. Do the strings actually vibrate or not?

I've gone back and forth on Unity Mei- She looks pretty cool but it ended up costing a lot for me, but canceling would have cost me some for nothing, so I hope she's worth it when she finally comes in the mail.

YEAH! I stopped into my local Anime store, And they had a box full of Figma and Fraulien Revoltech figures that didn't arrive in time for Anime North. They hadn't been priced into the system yet, but I got reserved a Haruhi Summer ver. Figma, and Revoltech Yuki (with hat/cape) and Maido Mikuru. Should be able to pick them up tomorrow or Sunday. (does Happy dance) :)
They also had Figma Haruhi and Mikuru in gym gear as well. :)

Sorry the only one I liked was Elwing. I need to get a new seena as the one I got was the diamond comics version which I think resembles a lot like the bootleg stories of shiny finish which I really detest now as I cannot take a good look at her face at all.

Signum ftw.
I have the Haruhi and Mikuru Gekisou figurines myself. I also have the Feena figurine shown above. While this last one is very nicely done, the details on the Haruhi Gekisou figurine are so well done that it has become my favorite figurine.
Excelica nendoroid is cute, but the game looks insanely difficult

Great to finally see the rogue out, I"m so pumped for black widow and especially black cat. After seeing close ups on the Yoko as well, I was super tempted to buy it. Originally I had picked the GK of her that was reversible (You can put her on her butt of her head shooting).
Thank you for the images!
