Wonder Festival 2006 Winter part 2

OK, I've kept you waiting a whole day so I guess I'd better release these pics before I have to bear the conscience of some readers mounting themselves on the nearest blunt spear.
Before I start, I thought I should mention now that I need to add a 5th part to this report which will be the "unpublished report" - a collection of different angles of figures and some stuff which didn't make it to the first 4 parts. Part 3 will be tomorrow or so.
Starting off with one of my favorite anime characters of the moment - Natsumi Hinata from Keroro Gunsou. I cant remember who the maker of this figure is but I think it was Kaiyodo. This figure is huge - must have been a 1/4 scale or similar. I really wanted it but I think I should learn how to paint figurines first - its *very* different from Gundam modeling. This kit was going for 29,000 yen (as far as I can remember - I was too busy looking at Natsumi's huge...anime eyes.)
Forgot to mention that if I missed any names, you can let me know by giving me the photo ID which you will find in the url of the enlarged image - Thank you! ^^;

Rangiku Matsumoto who you have seen before showing off her huge...sword.

Konami's Mecha Musume series - girls which are part human and part mecha - what ever tickles your fancy heh?

More figures from Konami - this time its two mecha type girls from their Busho Shinki series. Unlike Mecha Musume, these use a "Multi Movable System" which allow these figures to be posed in the dodging-a-baboon-with-poo-on-its-face position.

Kanako Ohno from Genshiken.

Mizuho Kazami from Please Teacher.

Igunisu from the game Jingai Makyou. This 1/7 scale figure is absolutely gorgeous - out this July by Max Factory and will retail for 5,800 yen.

The 1/1 scale anime figures which I covered a while ago by Paper Moon.

More from Paper Moon.

Figures from White Breath.

Faye from Front Innocent.

Nanami Minamino from Konneko.

Rio which you may have seen before.

Ayumi Hizuki from Ringetsu. Another *must* get figure.

Carmen 99 from Gun Sword.

Sonsaku Hakufu from Ikki Tousen.

Arika Yumemiya from Mai Otome Hime.

Saki Kasukabe from Genshiken.

Meer Campbell from you know what.

Akari Mizunashi from Aria.

Mai Shiranui from NEOGEO's fighting series. You can bet that if you go up against her, you'll be knocked out by her two big ones (the red and white balls that you see in the pic).

Takako Kinoshita from Pia Carrot. This costume seems to be very popular in Japan - the "birthday-suit-n-apron".

Yuki Mori from Space Battleship Yamato.

Tori no Jun from Gatchaman. I remember watching this when I was a wee lad back in the UK - the series was known as G-Force back then (I think).

Nono from Top wo Nerae.

Cutie Natsumi and Giroro from Keroro Gunso.

Don't know who this is but I think she was on the Kaiyodo stand...
That's all for today - next up are the mecha/starwars goodies. You will get more of the female figurines in part 5... Muhaha.

Wow, this is pathetic, not the figures and the pitures but me only able to identify 3-4 charaters. Love the pictures by-the-way, their fantastic! I wish I could go and have a look with my own eyes.
Wish to see more in the future!

Yuki Mori - all I can say (from a purely NOSTALGIA-GASM standpoint) is WOW, I love that. You've finally broken my will. I would actually buy that one. Damn!
