WHF17

Some nice figures there, glad i wasnt there tough(my wallet would be empty in no time ^^;).

figs look pretty nice except some they look to glossy

Wow, there's a lot of figures there I'd just love to have.

Am I the only one that wants every single Yoko (Gurren Lagann) figure they come out with? Those all looked great.

Woot for Metal Slug girl!! XD

HOTTTTT!!!!

Love the lucky star figures ^^. Ayanammi is great in here too and love the onegai teacher two figures ^^ so many goodies

Nothing I want... Maybe the Konata figure.

Damn Danny!

Can you post some names and links for some of the more voluptuous lady models in your World Hobby F17 post?

Thanks :)

There are some really nice sculpts that I see in there.

Anyway, you wrote ur title as "Word" hobby festival LOL

"Did you see any goodies from the WHF17 that you want?"
Hmm... Let's see...Can I say all?LOL
And I agree with rejiforme, wii nids links!

@rajiforme
Oops, sorry for the mis-spelling...

@Alafista Otaku
LOL! I didn't notice that...

Alafista OTAKU,
Yikes and thanks for pointing that out ^^;

rajiforme,
Which ones in particular?

i really want the figs of konata, kagami, and hatsune miku

ah! I really want the barasuishou one ;_; all my favorite rozen maidens are the harder ones to find

AWESOME! I want all those Yoko figures. >:/

I never took too much interest in figures, but the more I visit your site and check out great posts like this one, the more I find myself admiring the art work and quality of the figures.

Who knows... maybe I'll even make a purchase one of these days.

Thanks Danny!

I'd pick up Haruhi and the Lucky Star girls since they're relatively "safe" and to keep out and easy to explain. I uh, *ahem*, won't mention the others that I'd have to keep hidden away.

Thanks for the picture!

btw, how are you going to do the auto censoring using imagemagick? that means you have to detect the location =

Wow! Some truly amazing artwork there! Wish I could've been there in person. Thanks for posting the pics.

Ron,
LOL. For each photo there is an entry in the database. I set a flag called "IsCensored" which will call ImageMagick to dim the photo so that you cant see the B Chiku. Or I can get ImageMagick to put a mosaic over the image - then save it so that this process is only done once.
The original image will be protected by a script which checks if a member is logged in. Something like that.

Didn't see much of what i'd like to have but i like a lot of the fine detail in the majority of these figures/statues.

I do indeed want that new version of Rumi Kinoshita, and maybe that Manaka Komaki i saw.

What I really want to get is those Lucky Star girls and fate/stay night girls.

If there are Shakugan no Shana girls I will want them, too! ^^

Konata, Kagami, Miku, and Barasuishou.. Do want. (Heck, I'd even buy the "stand" they displayed Barasuishou on)
Want others too, but I have no idea who they are.

The Yuki figurine looked a little weird though.. don't you think? To tell the truth, quite a number of them looked weird as well.. Maybe it's just the lighting of the pictures?

@SY - Yeah, I agree.. some of them DO look too glossy

@QuickFix - Same here! Thanks to you Danny! Banzai~

@Leo - The situation's the same for me here.. Can't get any "explicit" figures ('~')

Sorry for the long comment! Thanks again, Danny, for continually keeping us updated even though you're busy!

do want Roberta figure. the 2 of Konata, Hatsune Miku, and the oneechanbara one.

Thanks for uploading Danny, these are simply gorgeous! Makes me wonder why I'm still rooted in Singapore. . . I should be there!

Can't wait for the non-female versions ~(^.*)~

why does Konata look taller?

unpainted Ringo looks really nice.
cant wait for the finished version.

niceee
OMG! i wanna buy the 1st yoko figure!
T_T

That fox (cat? dog?) girl, the one below the Onegai Sensei, looks cute.
Hastune Miku figures!! The Yoko Figure under Konata has a nice expression, and the Gothic Lolita Haruhi/Yuki look nice. The Barasuishou has some very nice coloring to it.

A lot of one string sentence T-T

Any more pictures Danny? Any favorites?

That Nanoha is awesome.

The gothic lolita Haruhi and Yuki are sweet.

I want that Louise!! X3

maybe I'll only be there until the number hits 100 T.T

i want that cool-looking rei!!!!

the konata and kagamin ones weren't too bad. i definitely want the battle looking plenair. does anyone know who scuplted that?

Yes yes yes!!! There are a few at the end that I like and I will have a very difficult time deciding which Yoko figure I want. A girl with a gun is one thing- with a sniper rifle- another.

THANK YOU for the coverage! I will need to hunt some of these down when I get money and they become available.

No must buy items. The Ringo looks hot, but it's Yamato, so that's a maybe.

Someone give me that damn cute Odin Sphere one (girl in green with crossbow) for Christmas!

Oh god!
Mercedes from Odin Sphere @_@
Now if only they made Gwendolyn as well.

Some lovely photos there, makes me want to go back to Japan even more =/

Some great stuff there - looked like a good show. Wished i coulda gone!

I love that figure of the gal with pigtails wearing nowt else but some sort of strappy garment - y'know - the grey prototype one. I think its from ikki tousen.

To this day, ive still not seen a figure that has amazed me as much as mirei-san!

I've never genuinely wanted a Yoko figure before, but that last one. I want, and when it comes out I shall have.

Also, agree with AndyH. That strappy, pigtail chick that looks like she might be on rollerblades. Don't know what character that is, but I likey.

Danny, any info on those two?

*Nose bleed*
Aya, I prefer velvet :)

Man.. the where is tsukasa >_

wow, alot of nice figure...going to get the Nao..

http://www.dannychoo.com/images/photo/11954.jpg - Oh my god, I see Ruputna of Seinarukana! http://www.dannychoo.com/images/photo/11957.jpg - And Arshe of Eternal Fantasy! I think I'm in love! Again!

I think the first Konata figure is better cute-looking compared to the second one.

Wow. Lots of ero versions of well-known characters. I like certain figures, namely the Lucky Star and Fate/Stay Night ones (Sakura can be "wow!" sometimes!), but also the lingerie girl (hmmm, satin).

The two last pictures (Pixies) spooked me though. They look so tired.
Say, is it Kanu there?! Bondage?!! Never thought she'd suffer that kind of treatment.

@Barsona: Yeah, looks like Konata has grown up quite a bit in the meantime. Not a bad thing to behold. ^^;

Awesome Barasioshou and Ignis detected. DannyChoo delivers. *Im surprised theres still no update on Peorth figure ;__;

Can't say that "woderfestival's little sibling" had anything of real note for me this time round. I already have that ignis and, while there were a few Yokos, I already have 2 headed my way and none of the ones shown felt quite right...
Nanoha was just plain wrong tho...

Great, lots of nice things, hard to mention only one!! And much eroge stuff...

Where is Kaede :(

Thank you Danny for the coverage. what would Otakus out of Japan like us would do without your diligent efforts to cover these events. Can't wait for the gundam post to come out. oh and Merry Christmas to you Danny!

It seems to become a trend to have a glossy finish on figures at convention. I actually don't like it, as it has an unnatural look to it, but fortunately this glossy finish usually not present on the actual figure (I think/hope).

I love the blood splatter on that one figure, it's quite a unique touch.
Need to watch some Gurren Laggan, quite nice figure ;p
That first Konata figure disappointed me. The second one on the other hand, is much better and Kagami looks very good too.
The Hidamari Sketch figures are also not that good...
Chun Li has got quite the muscles ;p
Oh, that seems to be a new figure from Black Lagoon, the army maid (Rosetta?). Wish they could make another figure of Revy ^^; (I should look for that previous figure again...).

All the rest, very good figures & pictures ;p

can sum1 buy those konata and kagami figure? and compare their height ^^

figure #3, anyone would like those number 8(mini post)?

Wow, some great looking stuff at this show.

Wouldn't mind having the Haruhi and Yuki figures.
Finally some good looking figures from Lucky Star too.
I like the high gloss look on many of the figures. It cam be a pain to achieve but lends to some nice textural feel to some figures.

Trying to resist the urge to buy every figure that catches my eyes. Need to be more selective... ^^;

whenever I see life-like delicate folds or cloth or hair, I think "wow, the skill required to do that..."

I really envy/admire these makers

Its amazing how they put such detail in those figures.

There are at least 2-3 definite "to buy" on my list from those photos. Firstly, the first Ayanami Rei posted is something I'll probably get my hands on, as well as a Gurren Lagann figure or two :).

Hey Danny..

are you related to Jimmy? You must get this a lot.

choobaka,
Yes I am ^^;

Wildarms,
Kaede from...?

FatB,
Ringo from Airgear?

I really like the sculpt and looks of Yoko in the very first picture.

omg.. some more stuff i gotta add to my wish/to buy list ^^ thanks for the goodies danny xD I really luv the Yoko and Ringo figures

Wow ! lot's of nice figure.

The girl with two swords in http://www.dannychoo.com/images/photo/blogg_thumbs/11908.jpg is also quite nice, which anime did it come from?

bad ass pleinair from cerberus project. . . . . . me want ( O_o)-b

I saw more or less 5 figures that I'd like to get. Mostly the lucky star girls. XD

http://www.dannychoo.com/images/photo/blogg_thumbs/11901.jpg
WANT ^^

Saw some other really interesting figures as well, if I only had the money...

i want to find figure's with a cheap price (maybe???)

the figure in pic 11901.jpg looks good, lot of nice interesting figures

I want that Rei figure right now! It looks so hot!~ *Writes down into buy list*

The 1st Rei figure's face is beautiful.. PLEASE give details now or at a later date, it's the only figure I've ever actually wanted!

I saw a LOT that I liked.

Cor, some really nice ones there, and some awful ones. As of yet I have no figures and hardly plans to get them... but I feel I am slooowly being sucked into the hobby... aieee....!

BTW, what anime/manga/eroge are those crazy dominatrix chicks at the beginning from? ^^

tnx for covering this event!

Could you tell me any information about the figure in third picture, wearing white bikini (http://www.dannychoo.com/images/photo/blogg_thumbs/11880.jpg)? It made me interested...

Sweet lord. What a wonderful pieces of art are those figures.
I saw many figures i want.
The new sexy Rei Ayanami is gorgeus, and the girls from Lucky tar are awesome cute.

And even if is too late, i hope you had a really nice xmas eve.

Warming greetings from Venezuela

@Hachiroku,
Shiori > http://www.dannychoo.com/fauna_detail/eng/754/Shiori+Tsuzuki/

Thanks for the info, Danny. Now have to wait at least until it comes out.

yes, i see plenty of goodies that i want. I thank you, danny, for bringing to us dannychoo.com users this post. (bursts into a mist of blood)

Didn't see that many things I want... but they are all very nicely done anyways!

And I love these posts... next best thing from actually being there.

wow I waiting for a good Yoko figure and this are awesome

The prototype figure with pigtails... is that Ryofu Housen from Ikki Tousen? It looks great, definitely a great expression. Looking forward to more details on that one.

http://www.dannychoo.com/slide/eng/whf17/17377/photo/World+Hobby+Festival+17/

who are the gothy mistresses with giant boobs? please let me know.

Im really liking the figure of the school girl with the pigtails, black rimmed glasses, stripey green undies and the sword. Anyone know the name of this character?

The image ID is #17380

Cheers

They should be accurate in their hidden wishes and habits.

17389 is great. Well ok, they're all great, but my wife would feel way too threatened by the big boobs on some of those others, so out of respect I'd have to pass. Japan streets are sidewalks (in the outside shot) are always so clean. I miss Japan.
