The Summer Comiket 74 will be held from the 15th - 17th of August at Tokyo Big Sight.
There will be the usual exclusives including this Chu Chu and Melissa nendoroid-looking set from ToyPla.
No prices announced yet. More pics at Senaka Blog.
Anybody here going to the Comike too?

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.

    Even though I've never left the northeastern quadrant of North America in my lifetime, I actually might be there if it's in August!

    Can't wait for the batch-torrents.. No, I won't be there and this kind of event is probably way too crowded for my taste. ^_^''

      idem here, would love to go, but the chances are low that I'll be going to Japan during August (or December) in the next years. (mostly go in the march-may period)

      Can't wait for the batch-torrents too.

    I like both those petit nendos a tone I want them both. I know there is a regular nendo version of that Serafi but even though I can only see half of her I can tell that one is way cuter.

    For the 4th year running, I will be attending summer Comiket. I am hoping for some nice RPG-related doujinshi, but chances are it will be mostly of the popular series. I really do wish the bigger circles would do some stuff on the games by Falcom. T_T

    I really want to go to Comiket 74, since I've attended from Comiket 70 to Comiket 73. Money is of course the problem but I'm working on it right now in hope of going to Comiket 74 somehow >_<

    Quick question, Danny. I believe you get that media pass to attend Comiket and beat the line. I'm curious if there is anyway for you to get additional pass like that? Was wondering about it since it would be nice to go to Comiket without fighting other people at 5AM thru first train -_-

    I'll be going on day 3. It'll be my first Comiket ever, so I'm pretty excited. Anyone know where, in Tokyo, I could purchase the catalog? I'll be arriving in Tokyo mid-day on day 2, so it would be nice if I could get a catalog around when I arrive, so it'll be ready for day 3.

    i'm torn between comiket and wonderfest. wonderfest is 2th Aug. i have a friend who is interested in going to comiket and i can tag along.

    1 am currently looking for experienced buddies interested in going as well to act as my guide. but i find that wonderfest might be more relevant to my interests.

      Chu Chu Astram is from the eroge "Chu x Chu - The Idol is a Vampire?" by Unionshift. You may notice she has red and blue eyes. No, this is not because she is afflicted with the same heterochromia condition as Final Fantasy X Yuna, whereby there is coloration differences in the iris.

      It is actually because she's the result when blue-eyes normal girl Chiyu combines with red-eyes vampire girl Chu-a Churam, hence giving the name "Chu x Chu" as well as her different eye colors.
