Tokyo Figure Show リポート

グッドスマイルカンパニーとコラボしてお届けしているTokyo Figure Showが現在原宿にて開催中!

原画担当のアザミユウコ先生も来ていました。我らのみらいちゃんがフィグマ化されるなんてまだ信じられない。

これは「みらいちゃんポーズ」と勝手に名付けました。エイプリールフール用のみらいちゃんも同じポーズだった。

ほかのリポートや紹介のまとめです。これらのURLは公式サイトにもアップしています。漏れがあったら教えてください。

Figma Mirai!! She's Alive!! I'll take 3!!! and all those oh so delicious Miku's and Tamaki! wants.. very badly!

http://foxkey.blog126.fc2.com/
Lovely images of TFS. Soo many Nendoroids and Figmas(With another one on it's way! Mirai~) on display. It is pretty interesting to get a view into the workings which happen to make the event turn out how it does. But wow, protective film in between postcard handout? Very fancy indeed.
Decoration masters have indeed done a very nice job, I especially like how the colours are put together, red bottle with predominately red figure infront etc.
The GCG Canaan is a very tempting purchase, but of course Figma Mirai will be the hot thing around now!
Those display frames look really nice, platforms included to put figures on. Do you happen to know what frames they are and possible location to pick myself up some?

what kind of stand does mirai comes with? the regular figma one or the circular one we see in the pics above? circular base has no stand?

The circle stands are always used for prototypes or decomas. She will come with standard Figma stand.

Wow. This is really interesting. Would really wish I can be there. ^^, Would really love to see all those nice figures! So far I only have a nendoroid. Never seen anything else before up close. >.<
I saw nendoroid Reimu among those boxes. ^^,
I would probably get Mirai. ^^, Would be my first ever figma if I do. This is really exciting. ^^, Good job Danny.

http://yuuichikun.wordpress.com/
I've been thinking about it since the initial post of the painted figma Mirai earlier this week, and I think I may want to purchase more than one of her. I'm tempted to try my hand at custom painting her pallate swaps, as well as having head swap fun with my other figmas ^^ Can we say Cheer Girl Mirai? Or maybe SOS-dan danchou Mirai? I foresee lots of fun for DC.com figma collectors in our future ^^
Wow, what a feel good post. ^^ Congratulations Danny.
I probably wont be buying her though, as the money has been an issue lately, but she looks great never the less. I hope she'll be a prize for some future give-away. *wink wink* *nudge nudge*
Examinee
Congrats! Looks like a wonderful show and you're having fun too.
All the figures are art pieces to me, although some people may say it's just a toy...
I have a couple of figma and nendoroid myself, mostly Haruhi and gang, and when I see them up close they really look wonderful.
Kudos to Oda-san,Kodama-san and the rest of the team who bring us such great figures!
Btw where the figure racks from? Can we get it online?
Really like the customability. Can join it up as a shelf or change it into a table.

I would like to know where the figure racks comes from too. If I can't screw or nail shelves into my wall, this would be the next best thing. Awesome show, Danny!

Moo, danny!! It looks like it was a hell lot of fun n awesome alltogether! Mirai figma looks better than I thought and with lovely eyes too ^^I'll take 3!!
Max Factory Tamaki Kousaka is absolutely fenomenal! definitely her best figure rendition so far~
Nagimiso-san's VN02 has incredible eyes too, very delicious!!
The figure rack looks amazing, actually.
An you mean "red heads" ^^;
The protective film is evil indeed ^^; Had a similar experience once, but it was with 3,000 pages worth of text~
Wow! Danny congratulations and figma Mirai looks very awesome, even the picture looks excellent.
I wish I could buy her next time and thanks Danny again.

Great coverage and so excited about mirai chan! Congratz! hard work, networking, and being yourself is definitely the key. Hope to find/make my calling soon. I am glad to see there are folks out there who appreciate people for their true selves. Could not even begin to imagine a mirai nendoroid! It's a good idea but will I probably black out by the sheer level of moeness!
Art/Media
http://sgallen.wordpress.com/
hhmm~ The more I look at her, the more I want to pre-order her XD
Congrats on the success of the event thus far ^o^! Everything looks fantastic. I especially liked how you displayed the figures; those black display racks look nice!
And congrats on the Mirai figma! She looks gorgeous. Will make sure to buy her whenever she's released! May we expect a Mirai nendoroid in the near future too? ^^;
The Canaan figure is awesome!
As for Danny having his self invented mascat made as figure, i think this is an immense otaku-achievment ;-)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/43628186@N00/
I hope we dont have to wait too long before we can order the mirai figma, of all the figures there mirai is top of my want list followed by saber lily & canaan.
Student
yea!! it wont be long before we can buy the mirai figma!! goin to get the saber figma too

Wow, Mirai looks even better in this set of photos. I agree with her having nice eyes.
Looking forward to seeing what accessories she will have. Personally, I'd like to see these 2 items for sure: Dolphin Animal plushie and Haruka Dakimakura. Seeing some of the 4 Koma strips on this site, these would be perfect.
Miku figures look great as well. I might get a closed eyed Good Smile Miku figure (not figma) if I can find one for a non-outrageous price on the second hand market. In my opinion, she looks better this way. Think I saw her in a commercial like this while waiting in line for WonHobby 9. Beautiful.

Ahh... The only two figures to ever catch my eye would have to be Max Factory's Tamaki Kousaka and the GSC Canaan.

Danny, do not underestimate the obsession of a figure collector. Even if it's a recolor, a limited run of red Mirai's would still sell out. That is, if you DO decide to do that.

Great to see things are all falling into place - figma mirai looks great! Even though my otaku powers are more or less faded, and i dont buy poseable figures, i will definately buy a figma mirai to support you!
Nice to see vitamin water is infiltrating japan too - i really like the stuff. To be honest, the brand will need a lot of luck over there, as japan already has a lot of mild, watery drinks with mineral, vitamin and energy-giving properties!
Love that last shot. Its making me want to get a new camera already as i know my brand new powershot SX200 wont be able to do anything that good...

congratulation on another milestone Danny. btw I notice that most of the displays don't have glass protection. just wondering what's keeping folks from grabbing a figma and run off to the exit? then again folks there are more honest than any other place in the world. ^^

I think it's that. There's also the fact that, well, they're not exactly on ground floor. How fast can they run? XD
Also, neglected to add earlier, but...orange shimapan would be awesome I don't think I've ever see anything but solid-colored figma pantsu so far.

Congratulations, Danny. I personally think the stormtrooper picture they had of you was epic, but I can see how that could very embarassing very quickly. ^^;
I'd wondered what you meant when you mentioned via Twitter you'd *made* a lot of things for TFS...I gather you were referring to shelves.
I encountered the term "decoration master" a few times. Exactly what does it mean to be a decoration master anyway?

To be honest I wasn't planning on getting the Mirai figma but now I kinda want to so I can keep it as a memento for being a part of this site. Great show & pics! Looks like the show was a success. :D

Mirai looks amazing. I'd love to get one for my collection.
And congrats on the Figure Show. Coverage was very awesome. ^^

Everything looks great! I want a mirai figma after seeing these pics. I think it would be pretty sentimental to me also because danny's website is what got me started in figure collecting.

Great job on the figure show! Real nice to find a lack of "no photography" signage and seeing people bringing in their good cameras to take pictures of the figures. Real nice to be able to see figures I am considering buying up close. Great job Danny!
A tip for anyone planning on going - wear your yukata. The Glaceau staff (?) there supervising will magically make the arrow stop at the special prize for the mineral water draw for extra goodies on top of the mineral water.

I got nosebleeds looking at figma Mirai! I want to buy one right now!!! LOL XD
I really like those figure shelves. The figures look like they're on stage! Man, I hope they sell them here in my country.

image ID#27602: You should go ahead and make a t-shirt with that picture on it! I'm gonna buy one if you do XD
image ID#27614: Tokyo is probably the most attractive city I've seen. I'm not saying this because of the fact that it is in Japan. For me, this is what a modern city should look like.

Looks like alot of fun. Would be great to see all those figures in one shot. Speaking of which, what happens to all the figures that aren't deco masters or glued for display after the show? They for me?? ^^

I've heard that any publicity is good publicity but I'm still not sure that's true. Maybe for smaller things, but I think it would be a killer for larger corporations. So many awesome figures at H&M. I wish I could go.

Wow. Both figmas I'm after right next to each other (Mirai and Miku). I'll take one of each please :)
Fortunately, I'm halfway there as I got an order in lst minute with Tokyo Hunter to get the limited edition Miku. Now, I must wait :( I hate wait :(
But, congrats on the figmatization of Mirai. I can only imagine how that's gotta feel to see her like that.

I would have gone already if I know there was one. They have a Toy Fair, but that's mostly western comic/video game action figures. Not much anime. Anime conventions doesn't really have figure displays, only at the vendors booth which isn't too many either. I'd love to see what they do in Malaysia, displaying figures that people own and volunteer them to be displayed for everyone to see, in the North America region.

http://www.happysoda.com
I've not seen anything like this at all for anime figures in the US, even at anime conventions. I imagine it would cost a lot of money for the Japanese companies to come over to display at one of the big anime conventions here (AnimeExpo or Otakon), but it would be great if they could. Be interesting to see the hand finished versions of the figures in person.
I've not really seen any figure panels at any of the conventions I've been to. I will try to think of something that could be done as a figure panel for next year's conventions. Not sure about what exactly it would be like though.

Went Saturday at around 3:30 p.m, but couldn't find you Danny. In fact, I was the only person there. Felt really awkward taking pictures of all the figures in a room by myself, and having the Vitamin Water staff looking at me. Do you think you'll be there today, Danny? I have to meet you!

Mirai-chan turned out very very gorgeous! I need to add that to my check list (with most of the other ones displayed) of figmas to buy when I get into my professions and can afford this.
Must have been very groovy to come outside time to time clad in your armor suit. Strike a lot of poses?
