Just recently, the Hobby Complex 07 event ended with alot of new and wonderful figurines on display by so many wonderful figure companies.. The event was held at the Tokyo Big Sight on 6th May.. Some sites have already posted some nice pictures taken during the event..

This event was widely anticipated by many to see what characters each companies will make, and I will say that the characters they thought up are quite interesting indeed..

Some of the figurines look lovely to be purchased when they do come out for pre-orders.. Well, without further ado, lets take a look at some of these figurines..

Mercedes from Odin Sphere; Made by Yamato.. August ’09, 8,190yen.

Wave’s Fortune Arterial characters.

Wave’s Kujikawa Rise from Persona 4

Kanu Unchou from Ikkitousen; October ’09, 14,490 Yen.

Well, for this event, there were quite alot of Touhou figurines on display.. It is quite interesting to see more and more Touhou figurines being made.. Some of them do look pretty nice indeed..

Even this girl got to promote the figurine of Reimu Hakurei.. And no, the girl is not for sale.. -_-;;
