In addition to recently popular standards of the garage kit repertoire (Nanoha, Touhou, Rozen Maiden), World Hobby Festival Ariake 17 saw the emergence of some new titles that are currently taking hold of the fan imagination in Japan. Chief among these at the event were virtual idol Vocaloid Hatsune Miku, the cast of Gurren Lagann, and Lucky Star, all of which saw a sharp rise in representation since the last figure event covered by HD. Check out the many offerings below for a look at the cutting edge of what’s heating up the winter ’07 garage kit world!

Lucky Star
Note: all of the items shown here are unpainted, unassembled, resin “garage kits” available for purchase at events such as WHF on a one day limited license system (unless otherwise specified).
Stay tuned for further WHF Ariake 17 coverage, coming soon!
haha I like the SD Hatsune Mikus with the onion thing. Hmm so these are all raw garage kits. Guess even if I’d been able to go I would have had to settle for creating a wishlist. Maybe I could try to learn a little bit about modelling lol.
If only I had the room to do garage kits… Hopefully we’ll see pre-done figures start popping up.
Yay for a Kamina Resin.
some nice Yoko GKs
I only liked the first Miku and the last two Lucky Star ones. The rest just didn’t give me a crushing desire to buy them..
I don’t get it, why no figures of Nia? I’m sick and tired of Yoko.
I want that first model of miku hatsune NOW!
