For avid
figure collectors out there, one of the most anticipated (and dreaded) figure
events at the start of 2014 is Winter Wonder Festival or Winter WonFes. For those
not familiar, Winter WonFes is a bi-annual event held in Makuharu Messe in
Chiba, Japan. It is a figure event where “garage kits” are displayed and sold
as artists replicate anime and game characters. This is also an event for
various figure manufacturers to sell and display their future releases. In
other words, this event is sort of “heaven” and “hell” for avid figure
collectors.
Before anything else, I am sorry for not posting.
I’ve been so busy with work and the cold didn’t help because I got sick. I can’t take the cold even when I was small; the
cold here in the Philippines went below 23 degrees and I am fully covered these
past days. While that is normal for most people, it’s not for me and my energy
keeps going down due to the cold. Then I had a slight fever and needed to rest.
Hopefully now, I’ll have more energy and I can update my blogs.
For this post after my mini hiatus, I want to post
the displayed figures I took photos of in Otaku Expo 2014 held last January
11-12 in Megatrade Hall, SM Megamall. I didn’t take pictures of the booths,
stage and activities because I wanted to focus on the figures---which I haven’t
done in a long time.
Time flies so fast and we are on the month of Christmas already: December. It’s actually one of my favorite months of the year (of course my birthday month, September, will always be the top) because I buy great Christmas gifts for family and friends, have get-togethers with relatives and close friends, and buy a few some things for myself.
And speaking of buying things for myself, I want to share my collective hauls that I bought for the month of November before posting new blog entries I am excited to share. Usually, I just buy products I want. But for the month of November, it was about health and beauty care, figures, and cosplay.
Sorry for the really late post. I am sick (again) and
was just able to have the condition to post in my blog.
For this last part, I will explain more on my
figurine collecting, like how it started and what type of figures I collect. It
will also cover some advices and terms you should know when you plan to collect.
