Despite the big news about the escalator accident there were actually quite a few nice figures to be seen at WF2008. I personally was enchanted by the Ridge Racer kits (too bad 3 was not in there) as well as the huge Monster Hunter head that seemed to constantly draw the crowds. On the PVC side all I can say is that I can't wait for the new figmas, of course their stuff sold out in no time.

I was surprised to see quite a few kids running around there even though the ero content was naturally very big again this year. All in all a good figure show if one overlooks the scary escalator accident, I guess it just could not take all that otaku passion.

Hope you enjoy the photo selection
