Tuesday is Toyday! 12/30/08

The week's awesomest, funniest, and/or cutest merch and figures all in one fell swoop.

Kagamiku Hatsune!

And thank GOD it's Toyday, because there is just too much fun stuff popping up thanks to Comiket. First off, there's Saber Lily, an altered version of Fate/Stay Night's Saber with more pink frill but just as much sword. (I've never been much of a fan of the series but I'll be damned if I don't admit there are some nice figures out there for it.)



Kanedaaaaa!
Kanedaaaaa!
Then there's this awesome custom-made Kaneda from Akira by Kyle Robinson, who is a master of the custom action figure. Seriously, whatever you want, he can probably make...if you can afford it. He's got a lot of other awesome (mostly non-anime) figures up on his DeviantArt, which you are required to check out.


And last, but so, so so far from least...a la fista has several Nendoroids from Comiket, all of whom are adorable, but none of whom are anywhere near as cute as Lucky Star's Kagami cosplaying as Miku Hatsune. Honestly, the only way you can really tell that it's Kagami is the confused facial expression (couldn't they have kept her hair purple or something, to make sure no one mistakes her for just plain Miku?), but oh god, it's still so so cute.

Dig Deeper into Figures

A popular merchandise type in Japan is the "figure", which can be an action figure or a still figure, generally of an anime or manga character (although there are any number of original designs as well).
