AkibaBlog

I'm gonna report about "summary of whole Wonfes articles" (from Photos of Figures to Otoko no Wonfes, the total of 21 articles) and "popular ranking." Like usual, popular articles were "photos of figures," "cosplay," "erotic (?) figures," and then, a mask of Agnes.

There were Type-Moon figures (related to Kinoko Nasu) at Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer]. At the booth of Good Smile Company & Max Factory, WHL10, Saber Lily, Nendoroid Shiki Ryougi, Nendoroid Cannan, etc were displayed. The photo on the left is of Ms. Rider by a garage kit dealer, VISPO.

Among Wonfes reports in AkibaBlog, Photos of Figures and Erotic (?) Figures get the most access every year, but at Wonder Festival, there are "hot/strong/burning" figures as well. So, I'll report about "Otoko (guys)" I saw at Wonfes. The photo shown on the left is a figure of Vagabond "Musashi Miyamoto" by a garage kit dealer, Nanakamado.

I'm gonna report about burning [mecha] figures found at Wonfes 2009 [Summer]. I think I reported Otoko (guys') figures and burning [mecha] figures together most of the time in the past, but this time, I separated into two: "burning [mecha] figures" and "Otoko (guys') figures," increasing the number of photos. The photo on the left is of "Getter 1" from Shin Getter Robo, made with an EX alloy by Fewture Models.

I'm gonna report about Vocaloid figures displayed at Wonfes 2009 [Summer]. From Wonfes 2007 [Winter], many figure makers and dealers displayed "Miku Hatsune" figures, and there were many Miku figures this time as well. The photo on the left is of Miku Hatsune figure which will be released in November from Max Factory. The molding artist was ShiningWizard@Sawatika, and "clear" material is used for her hair.

I'm gonna show you some figures and 3D products that could probably not be found at "normal stores" I saw at Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer]. There were "joking" figures such as " Yaruo filled in a cart!," " Matsumoto-shiki Tokkigata Konbo," Analoguma figure, and Nagio figure, and also a "tender figure" which could be sold at a normal store, and the ones that couldn't be sold at normal stores due to the circumstances.

I'm gonna report about figures of Toho Project I saw at Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer]. Figures were of "Reimu Hakurei," "Marisa Kirisame," "Aya Syameimaru," "Sakuya Izayoi," "Cirno," "Patchouli," "Remilia," etc. Griffon Enterprises, which sold limited Toho figures had a longer line of customers who tried to buy figures compare to Wonfes held in the past.

I'm gonna report about Oppai of "figures" I saw at Wonfes 2009 [Summer]. I already reported Porori and Boyoooon "Oppai of figures" in Erotic (?) Figures, so in "Oppai! Oppai! Figures' Oppai!," I'll show you side boobs, cleavages, lower boobs, the swellings of bosom under clothes, etc. The photo on the left is of Sheryl's lower boobs from Macross F (by Mega House).

I'm gonna report about cosplayers I saw at makers' booths in Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer]. At some booths, cosplayers distributed handbills, a cosplayer of Miku Hatsune distributed paper bags, and so on. There was Yui cosplayer from K-On!, and also, I saw Good-sma alien (alien of Good Smile Company). The photo on the left is a cosplayer of Makinami from the movie "Evangelion: Ha" who distributed handbills at Movic booth.

I'm gonna report about Eva figures I saw at Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer]. Figure makers displayed figures of the movie, Evangelion and "Makinami Mari Illustrious" figures (who shows up in the movie, Evangelion: Ha). The photo shown on the left is of Rei and Asuka who wear Plug Suits- the ones they wear in the Movie, Evangelion: Ha. Those figures will be released in this winter from Volks.

At the biggest garage kit event sponsored by Kaiyodo, "Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer], C.C.C, which is "a mysterious circle that is active behind the scenes in the Kansai region," sold a kit of "poo-poo." The "100yen Poo-poo" did not put colors yet, but the completed poo-poo had colors that showed one's physical condition and constitution (?). The colors were brown or dark brown, and they were sold at 300yen.

There were different kinds of figures of Dengeki Bunko I saw at Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer]. A figure of Dengeki Bunko, "Hoshikuzu☆ Witch Meruru," which appears in a light novel, "Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai" was out, and I'm gonna introduce figures of Tora Dora!, Toaru Kagaku no Rail Gun , and Okami to Koushinryou .

There were different kinds of Strike Witches figures at Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer]. Figure makers and garage kit dealers displayed and sold (kits) Sutopan figures here and there. I didn't see any figures of a major Sakamoto, Minna, and Perrine at all, but I saw figures of Lynette, Sanya, and Gertrud.

I'm gonna report about heroines' figures of PS2 "Amagami" and "Kimikiss" figures I saw at Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer], which was held in a country of gentlemen, Japan. There were many figures of Haruka Morishima, who is naturally silly and who lets men fall in love with her and Ai Nanasaki , who looks nice with swimwear for a swimming race, having a slender body. The photo shown on the left is of Amagami displayed at a garage kit dealer, Cherry Blossom .

I'm gonna show photos of all the "K-On! figures" I could discover at Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer]. In the past, the Wonfes held after "Suzumiya Haruhi Part1" was broadcasted became "Haruhi Festival." "K-On!" figures this time were almost same as Haruhi; the number of K-On! figures by Garage Kit Dealers was few.

When I reported about "loli figures" displayed at Wonder Festival in the past instead of "erotic (?) figures," it was well received more than I thought, so I put all "loli figures (incl. erotic (?) figures)" I saw at Wonfes 2009 [Summer] together. The photo shown on the left is a garage kit figure from Blond Parrot. She is taking her panties off while carrying her backpack.

In the "adult only" zone created from Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer], erotic (?) figures , weapons, guns, etc, were displayed, and a dealer, "Team Cheetah" also displayed its figures such as busts of "Shokotan," "Masumin," and "a mask of Agnes" that didn't expose their bodies in the "adult only" zone. The reason why they were displayed in the "adult only" section was because the original people are dangerous!?

I'm gonna report about erotic (?) figures displayed at Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer], which was held at Makuhari Messe. From this time, the event created an adult section, and most of the adult figures and items only for adults (e.g. weapons, guns, etc) were gathered in the "adult only" zone, which checked people's age to enter. I feel like the number of erotic (?) figures was the fewest in the last 5 years.

On July 26th, the highest temperature of Tokyo was 33.3 degC (91.94 degF). In such a hot weather, Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer] was held. Wikipedia explained that "since the regulation of the event is not too strict, cosplayers are able to bring imitate swords, model guns, etc. Therefore, it is an important event for cosplayers." The photo on the left is Ushijima-san, who were taking photos, carrying a Motor Paraglider.

Figures of Ms. Girlfriend from "Houkago Play" at Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer] were displayed at a booth of Wonder Showcase, which was celebrating the 10th anniversary. Also, uncompleted samples of garage kits were displayed at La Favorite, Gouhondo, and Yashahime. It was prohibited to take photos, so I do not have photos but, non-colored original figure of "Ms. Girlfriend" was displayed at Wave booth.

The "biggest annual event in the world to display and sell 'garage kits' (Wikipedia)," Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer] was held on the 26th at Makuhari Messe. I'm planning to show you photos I took at Wonfes separating into "erotic?," "loli," and "cosplay"; I pick up photos from the ones I saw. This time, Wonfes made an "adult section," and basically, exposing figures were displayed in there. [*there are some photos of gross figures]

At a booth of Good Smile Company in Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer], samples of "Nendoroid 'K-On!'" were the most popular figures I guess. Not only Nendoroid "Mio Akiyama" and "Yui Hirasawa," but also, "Tsumugi" with a keyboard and "Ritsu" with a drum were displayed together. All members of a light-music club will be released with musical instruments.

I have reported about Wonder Festival 2008 [Summer] in 13 articles. The most read article was the one that picked up some pictures of " erotic? Figures " I reported on August 4th. The next day of Wonfes, from August 4th (Mon) to 6th (Wed), the number of PV became 2,926,000! The ranking and pictures below about Wonfes show which one people read and watched the most.

I'm gonna report about different kinds of figures/things that can not be found at "normal stores" I saw at Wonfes 2008 [Summer]. There were Gedou Bouya, a diorama of Konata's Room, figures of Shinryaku! Ika Musume, Maria †Holic, Franken Fran, Nazo no Shoujo X, etc. There were also interesting figures such as a controller of Steel Vertical Tank, " Hakoiri Chizuko," Chizuko being cut her legs and arms and put in a box, etc.

I'm gonna introduce figures of "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha" displayed at Wonder Festival 2008 Summer (WF2008 Summer). I didn't see ALL "Nanoha" figures displayed at Wonfes, but I guess the number of Fate figures was more than the number of "Nanoha Takamachi" figure. Also, I guess the young girl version of Nanoha was more popular than her adult version.

I'm gonna show you some photos of Miku Hatsune figures I saw at Wonder Festival 2008 Summer. Since the last Wonfes, many figure makers and dealers started displaying and selling Miku Hatsune figures/garage kits. This time, like last time, there were many kinds of Miku Hatsune figures at Wonfes 2008 Summer. Output with Geishu Honpo displayed 4 kinds of Miku Hatsune figures.

Pictures below are figures by Type-Moon I saw at Wonder Festival 2008 [Summer]. At booths of Good Smile Company & Max, Saber Lily (white Saber) figure, which comes with PS2 "Fate/unlimited codes –Limited Edition-" (will be released on December), Shiki Ryougi figure from "Kara no Kyoukai," etc were displayed. Also, Saber wearing costume of Saber Lion was there too.

When I wrote about Wonder Festival before, I created a section of loli, and it was favorably received more than I was expecting. Therefore, I collected some of those figures this time as well (including erotic ones). The picture on the left is a figure being DONE by feelers (made by INF). Like normal, a definition of loli is "broad."

Among reports done by AkibaBlog about Wonfes, pictures of erotic (?) figures get more access than other kinds of figures. But, Wonder Festival is not an event only for "erotic figures!" The event also displays figures of manliness, mechanic, robot, and military. I corrected photos of "hot (burning)" figures I saw at Wonfes. The picture on the left is "Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann" by Volks.

I'm gonna report about cosplayers at maker booths in Wonfes 2008 summer. At some booths, different kinds of things happened: cosplayers distributed handbills, cosplayer of Miku Hatsune, having green onion, managed a line of people who were there for getting a limited good sold only at Wonfes, or a costumed animal character of Gurren Lagann was standing. The picture on the left is cosplayer Saki (Ran Yazaki), becoming Mirei-san. She was distributing free magazine, HOBINO. She reproduced a cleavage and thighs of Mirei-san well.

I'm gonna report about "Gurren Lagann" figures I saw at Wonfes 2008 Summer. Like last Wonfes (2007 Winter), the main figure among Gurren Lagann figures was Yoko, which is known for " Shake Boobs! Burst Boobs!" The picture on the left was a cosplay figure of Yoko, a garage kit by Cherry Blossom (need to assemble). Also, there was a Gurren Lagann section at its maker's booth.

August 3rd, when the temperature in Tokyo was 32.7 degC (＝90.86 degF), Wonder Festival 2008 Summer was held. Wikipedia explained that "the festival lets cosplayers bring something long, an imitation sword, a model gun (toy), etc. The restriction is not too tight. Because of that, this event is very important for cosplayers as well." The picture on the left shows cosplayers of Sheryl and Ranka.

I'm gonna report about erotic? Figures I saw at Wonfes 2008 Summer. At the last Wonfes (2007 Summer), the number of erotic figure decreased, I felt, but this year, I didn't feel like that. Pictures below were the figures displayed at Wonder Festival 2008 Summer. I saw a man who recorded naked Saber Figure on his video camera from low angle.

I corrected the figures of Code Geass I saw at Wonder Festival 2008 [Summer]. They are not all figures of Code Geass displayed at Wonfes, but figures of Lelouch, Suzaku, Karen, C.C., a bust of an Emperor Iwamoto, etc, are shown here. The picture on the left was made by Skulltula and Haniwaya Kobo. It's figma Lelouch who makes THE pose wearing a skull.

Wonder Festival (Wonfes) 2008 Summer, "the biggest event of Garage kits, amateur-produced model kits (by wikipedia)," was held on the 3rd. I'll report about Wonfes in 3 sections such as "erotic?," "loli," and "cosplay." By the way, right after the Wonfes was opened (= right before the escalator accident happened) was like this.

At Tokyo Big Sight exhibition hall, Wonder Festival 2008 Summer (Wonfes) was held. Right after opening the event, the escalator that goes from the 1st floor to the 4th floor on the West side hall abruptly stopped and jerked backward. For the first moment, I didn't recognize what was going on, but people on the escalator going up were holding a handrail and were sliding backwards. The floor was full of people. A person who actually was on the escalator said "suddenly, the escalator jerked backward."

Wonder Festival 2008 [Summer] will be held on August 3rd (Sun), and its guidebook, which is also a ticket to enter the festival, was released on the 23rd. "Wonder Festival" (WonFes) is an event that displays erotic? figures and loli figures…No, it is "the biggest event to display "Garage kits," amateur-produced model kits (by Wikipedia)." In last summer, there were about 40,000 people participated, and this time, the target number of participants is 44,000.

The biggest event of garage kits in the world (wikipedia), Wonder Festival (Wonfes) 2008 Winter, was held on the 24th. I'm going to report about Wonfes by separating into some categories such as "erotic?," "Lolita," "hot," and "cosplayers." I felt like the numbers of "erotic" and "lolita" have decreased.

Wonfes (Wonder Festival 2008 Winter) was held on the 24th. There were limited figures, new figures, samples, etc on the site including the limited version figure by Garage Kit that you can only get at the site. I'm going to show you what was going on at Wonfes 2008 Winter. I felt like this time had more visitors than the Wonfes in the last summer as well as the last winter.
