WHF 15

Just got back from the WHF at Big Site and bring back with me some bad news... My CF card decided to throw a foobar and about 70 photos got corrupted ToT orz.
The good news (kind of) was that there wasn't that much to see anyway and the only thing I lost that I wanted to show you was a PVC of Mai Shiranui from KOF at the GoodSmile booth.
Much of the stuff were kits that you have already seen last year and the nicest kit was the angel one two pics down. The Bubba figure of Yuki Nagato was on display but there was a huge queue lining up just to take pictures! I decided to move along.
Also on display at the Good Smile booth was a figure of Mikuru that I hadn't seen before. I do prefer the other one though.
More event shenanigans next week where I bring you coverage from Winter Comike.
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.

OMG, clearance sales ???!!! in the last few pics ???
The Mai Shiranui from Maxfactory can be seen here, am glad that Maxfactory is the one to PVC it, have my eyes on it when it was shown as a GK. Most Japanese sites do not have pic of that as it says photo taking is not allowed.

Hopefully I will feel rich enuf to splurge on the Vispo Asuka and Rei
Others stuff that I have my eyes on are the Saber action figure, the gal in bridal/beautyqueen gown from Idolmaster, Alice Malvin from Punpkin Scissors

Marvin,
That was the press pass ^^; The only press privileges that you get at the WHF is "no lining up" and "get in for free". They are pretty good about taking pictures although there are some bozos which tell you "no photos".
バタくん,
I just uploaded the code - check the header ^^
Matt_,
Q1 - not sure but I think they look cool too.
Q2 - I think thats somebody from Burst Angel.

I would assume that your assumption is correct ^^;

I made some tests but didnt notice any slowness. Maybe you made a post while I was uploading code?
It could be because you were posting a comment on a post that had many images.

Oh I meant to ask... Did you find anything you just had to take home with you? Sorry to hear about the CF card. I've started using nothing larger than 1GB. Yes, I need to take more cards with me, but after losing a 4GB card I figure I only need half as much counseling when losing a 1GB. ^o^

Not sure about no-photo taking. I loose th ability to read when I am in front of cutesome figures.

I always get confused between Maxfactory and Goodsmile - one is a distributor and the other a manufacturer?

Hey Danny,
Wanted to ask you something about the EVA-01 figure. Is that going to be released as an action figure, resin kit, or a plastic injection kit?

Hi Danny,
For your technical problem, I've met the same problem before. I've managed to recover the pictures by putting my CF card into an PCMCIA slot adaptator and running a harddrive recover tools on it. So if you haven't erased your card, it's worth trying.

Same question as Matt_in Frog:
"What series/movie/game are the 4 figures that are in photos 6763-6766? Brief description: the figures are in washed-out greys/pastels with a belle-epoque meets nuclear winter dystopia look to them. Oh, and bright red backgrounds."
NEED and WANT an answer PLEASE. @.@
Not defined by my occupation
Thanks for the great pictures, Danny!
Do you format your CF card often? Formatting in essential for good card health. :)
Its good to be a king.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me how much money do they ask for that KARAS figure?
