Max Factory

Posted a few tidbits from the Wonder Festival earlier today and now we are first going to look at the figma's from Max Factory.
On my right is the boss of Max Factory - Max Watanabe and to my left is Asanon who you saw earlier on.

Got inside at about 9AM. The dealer passes are so much better than the press passes because one can get inside the day before or as early as one wants on the day of the event.

The Max Factory, Good Smile, Dico Kick and other related folks get together for a debrief.

In the meantime I go around snapping away before the hordes are let in. First up are these gorgeous "figma ex:ride" bicycles from Freeing.

Either GSC/MAX need to stop making cool stuff or I need a bigger house to display them.

And here are the scooters from the ex:ride series. Also included are roller blades and skateboards too which you can just make out behind the SOS dan. No pricing available as yet.

Ein from Phantom which I still have yet to see. Recommended?

Nanoha 2009 movie version.

A grinning Fate 2009 movie version.

Ryogi - this is just a reference model and not finalized for release. Interesting to see that Figma's get cloth. Do you prefer figma's as they are with plastic clothes or with cloth material?

Ugh. I'm so behind in my anime watching. Luckily I have a relative of a relative who records the shows for me. Canaan on the to-be-caught-up-on list. Love the sculpting of the trousers on this figure.

Saber in her plain clothes.

Shirou Emiya.

And a look at the girls from Max Factorys first eroge Se Kirara. This is Yu Kawamura who looks like the main character in the game. Se Kirara PV 1 below.

Aya Kagura and PV2 below.

Tsundere Mana Miyuki.

Mystery character.

Izumi Shizuno.

Nozomi Akiyama.

I was going to translate for Billy this time round too but he couldn't make the trip. For folks who have not seen it yet, you can see what happened last time back in February.

Billy Birthday version!

Kagami in Summer gear.

Tsukasa and for those who have not seen the Tsukasa Daikazoku MAD.

Original Queens Blade character designed by Rokku. This Figma comes with a gimmick called Shift Body which is like a semi-cast off.

Aigis was made to be a figma.

Watched Golgo on TV the other night for the first time. He does not say much does he? ^^; Love the CM below for Black Black chewing gum.

Have no eye deer who this is.

Some di:stage bits.

di:stage as a classroom set.

Kanamemo - another one to catch up on.

A load of rehearsals went on in the morning but no photos allowed - the management offices that manage the seiyuu are tough nuts.

Just before thousands lined up for the Good Smile/Max goodies, there was a dash which started like this...

And as for the Mirai Figma - the painted decoration master only available to see at the Tokyo Figure Show next week!

Will post more from the Wonfes but in the meantime get more from the following sites:- http://www.moeyo.com/
