Wonder Festival 2008 Summer starts today!! Well, it just commenced a while ago. Event time is from 10 AM until 5 PM Japan time.
Expect lots of news by the end of the day~( ^ _ ^ )/
As we all can see from the image above, looks like Alpha x Omega going to announce 3 new figures during this coming Wonfest 2008, or atleast they are going to display the finished product ^^
My only guess is that those 3 might be from Macross Frontier. I know that the far right is Kuran Kuran Micron Ver. since they have already shown the prototype before. The middle one looks like Alto to me~XD Well, we’ll just have to wait for tomorrow I guess ^^
On other news~ According to Shine Na Blog, we will get to see some new Shining Wind figures displayed/announced during tomorrow’s Wonfest 2008 ^^ They includes Kotobukiya‘s Ryuna (Above Image), and others might be Alter‘s Claclaclan Full Armor Version, and Max Factory‘s Seena ^^
I’m so looking forward to these~( ^ . ^ )/
Continuing where we left earlier, here’s the 2nd part of the Outing coverage, which are the photos ^^ Enjoy~!!
(Right Click on Images, and choose “Open Image” for higher resolutions)
First are the Day/Afternoon shots. Let’s start with Haruhi and Yuki (Didn’t take much photos on both of them) ^^
Saber~
Gordon’s Claire (The first 3 is taken by Gordon, using my Camera, since he wanted to try out DSLR ^^;)
Panther’s Shinra~
Squee’s Kanu~
My Lulu aiming to be a “Low Angler”~XD
Fariz’s Miku~
Next is the Night Shots!! Which I think is the best out of my Day/Afternoon photos, and also my favourites ^^
We’ll start off with Fariz’s Miku~
Squee’s Kanu~
Lastly, Panther’s Shinra~
Some candid shots of our group photos ^^;
Well, that ends my coverage ^^; As you can see, I didn’t take much photos of my figures ^^; Ironically, all the PVC figures have better results than my Figmas~XD The night photos are definitely my favourites, especially the one with Shinra, since her colour corresponds with the surrounding area.
Looking forward to next photoshoot outing, and next time, I’ll bring my PVCs instead~XD

Yesterday, on Saturday, was our 3rd Singapore Blogger Outing. We’ve been doing this on monthly basis, and yesterday’s theme was basically an Outdoor Photoshoot, where we brought out some of our figures and did a photoshoot on them.
The venue was at Toa Payoh Town Park, located near Toa Payoh MRT Station and the outing lasted from 3.00 PM until around 9.00 PM, since we are also going for the night photoshoot.
Although the outing was mainly consist of Team Blue members, anyone who are interested is welcome to join us ^^ Thanks to Panther, again, for organizing the outing.
I will divide the coverage into 2 parts. The 1st part is mainly the coverage report plus some photos. Second part is mainly the photos ^^ Coverage starts here~XD
(Right Click on Images, and choose “Open Images” for higher resolutions)
So I went early around 2.30 PM, since I had to go to City Hall to collect my “Wonfest 2008 Goodies” ^^ I met up with Fariz around 3.00 PM at Toa Payoh MRT Station and went to the park together. It was quite a hot day and luckily no rainy day ^^
When we arrived there, Squee, Gordon, and Hirito were already there. They were scouting the place earlier to see if we can find any nice spot for our photoshoot. Raven and Panther arrived a while later around 4.00 PM. In the end, there were 7 of us total who went for the outing. There were supposed to be more, but I guess something important came up.
This is where the fun starts ^^
So we took out our figures, and showed what we got. In my case I brought most of my Figma figures; Yuki, Haruhi, Saber, & Lulu (Review coming~:p). Gordon brought his Claire out, Hirito with his Nendo-petit Mikuru Frog suit & Sawatari Makoto, Panther with his Shinra, Fariz and Nendo Miku, and lastly Squee with his Pinky St. figures plus Kanu Unchou. I don’t think Raven brought any.
So we took a group photo of our figures:
And also a group shot ^^
(Left to right: wcloudxkumo(Me), Squee, Fariz, Raven, Panther, Gordon, Hirito)
Then we went for our photoshoot!!
So everyone splited up and went to their favourite spots. There were actually some passers-by that saw us while we taking photos. Some of them just ignored us, and others actually stop and watched us doing our stuffs ^^; At the same time, we also exchanged knowledge on photography stuffs.
Raven left earlier not long later. Hirito was the next to leave, and then Gordon until around 6 PM. So only me, Panther, Squee, and Fariz left for the night photoshoot. We went for dinner 1st before continuing our night photoshoot at the nearest Food Court. I forgot what the place called, but they got one of the nicest cold Honey Lemon Drink, which is really perfect after a long hot day~XD
Then we went for our night photoshoot. To tell the truth, night photoshoot is one of the hardest to take, and also one that takes lots of effort, but the results were something that is worth doing ^^ I’m really pleased with the results~
We then left around 9 PM ^^
That ends my coverage of the outing. There will be more photoshoot outing planned in the future, and I think the next one would be in October if I’m not mistaken. Saber welcomes anyone who are interested!!
More Photos coming in Part 2 of the coverage ^^
