Hobby Complex 6
So, I was at Hobby Complex 6 on Sunday. My very first appearance at hobby complex. Heard that it was twice as big as last year. Probably has something to do with the cancellation of winter wonder fest. I took quite a few photos. Some NSFW.
It’s alot smaller than wonfes I attended earlier, but still an interesting event. Loads of figures and stuff.
I have a soft spot for female figures with katanas. I just like the katana, shape and all. I even went to the Japanese Sword Museum near Shinjuku. You should make a trip if you’re interested. Pretty good experience.
Cute school girl in short skirt from Yamato.
Now why are her clothes all tattered and torn?…
Prototype figure from Yamashita Shunya. Looks like we can expect her sometime next year?
Catty. ^^.
A school principal on his knees.
They must have really small bodies to be able to fit in that tiny box.
I kinda like this figure.
BBQ…. yummy!
Every figure starts off like this. Don’t believe me? Check how female figurines are made.
This gunslinger is pretty cool… with the school uniform and all.
Don’t really know who this is, but it’s cute. Japanese Pinocchio.
A strong gust of wind suddenly blows through the exhibition hall.
And it continues blowing…
If you’re good at putting together gundams, you’re free to set shop here and sell your masterpieces.
I would love to show every photo here and add (maybe) witty comments, but there’s just way too many… These are just a few of those SFW which I apparently find interesting. ^^.
Met up with tokyohunter, xenohawak, danny and gordon (not this one) for lunch inbetween. It was nice meeting everyone. Xenohawk promises to return to blogging soon. ^^.
To satisfy the otaku in you, head over to my flickr account for all 270 photos (quite a number are restricted because of hentai-ness). Hope I didn’t miss any. I reckon if you’re old enough to know how to view such content on flickr, you’re old enough to view them. ^^.
I’ll still post some of the photos from hobby complex here from time to time. There are things I would like to write about for some of the pics…
Meanwhile, enjoy this cosy scene in a Japanese apartment.

HC 06 also had a few figures that I wanted out for eye candy I see, and Orchid Seed released the sample of their Sweet Body Hustler. Awesome.

Nice! ^^
The seifuku girl with Katana is probably from Ga-Rei and the second girl is from Zettai Shougeki.
I really like those cute Little Busters! girls in the box… :3

Not sure about the girl with the katana, I remember just seeing a label “new – samurai girl”. From the same guy that did the figure in lingerie with cat ears and tail. But yeah, Aya Ieshima is from zettai shougeki. You can check her out at yamato toys too.
