Wonder Festival 2009

I cant make it to the Wonder Festival this Sunday so I'm sending Nanoha instead. She will be mainly looking for Dollfie handguns, combs, stands and custom heads. When shes not looking for goodies and taking photos, she will be hanging around with the Good Smile team at Hall F.

If you are attending the Wonfes then you may want to pop by the Good Smile Booth and say hello to her.

The Wonfes wont be held at Big Sight and will instead take place at in-the-middle-of-absolutely-nowhere-Makuhari.

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.

This item was posted in the Dollfie category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

I can't wait for this year's WF. Hopefully it'll make up for the postponement of Winter 09.

I heard that the new location at Makuhari Messe (escalators no doubt reinforced with chogokin) is nearly twice the size of the Big Sight, though this year's attendance will only be a modest few thousand more. Should be a little more roomy, even if it is in the middle-of-nowhere.

how silly can people get? off course Danny's going to the show people. read properly!

"When shes not looking for goodies and taking photos, she will be hanging around with the Good Smile team at Hall F."

means Danny will be at the GS booth when he's not taking pictures or shopping for dollfie related stuff. Read between the lines people...
