The MegaHobby 2009 figure event, organized by MegaHouse, was held earlier today in Akihabara and showcased a variety of figures coming up for release in the months to come.
Here is a small gallery of some of the more appealing or interesting photos of the event that have made their way online in what must be considered breakneck speed, even for the likes of Akiba-oriented websites…
This is the Ranka Lee bikini malfunction figure announced some months ago.
It seems this will be the final color for her hair, slightly toned down from the original prototype’s blondness but still not green, presumably because this is advertised as the “Nose Art” version of Ranka.
I might’ve preferred a greener hue, but it still looks like an excellent figure. It is scheduled for April, and pre-orders have become available.
The Yoko figure from Alter, scheduled for a June release.
The details on this look great.
Another appealing figure of Yoko, this time as Yomako from Alter, due for release sometime later this month.
Alter didn’t disappoint with with its booth’s display, including several high quality figures such as this coy-looking Yuki Nagato .
Alter and Nagato seem to be good partners, as shown in the past. This Nagato should be out in March – pre-orders are available.
The sexy Menas of Queen’s Blade, scheduled for an April release from MegaHouse.
Pre-orders seem to been filled to capacity at most online stores for some perplexing reason…
MegaHouse’s Annelotte Queens Blade figure, due out soon.
Another Queens Blade figure, this sexy Reina is available now.
A display focusing on the Macross F “Fortune” chibi figures. Note the kabuki-costumed Alto in center bottom…
More of the Macross Fortune figures lined up and looking adorable.
Stuffed Ranka dolls from MegaHouse.
The MegaHouse Klan figure, besides a still unpainted prototype Sheryl figure.
It shows promise, but I usually refrain from inspecting an unpainted prototype too closely.
Gurren Lagann Nia chibi, from Sol International.
Yoko chibi.
Both of the above are adorable.
These is MegaHouse’s lineup of Idol Master figures, so far numbering 5. Miki’s is due out in April.
Awakened Miki still has no release date announced.
Yayoi‘s figure is already out.
Another very cute / sexy figure from Alter, the Louise Seifuku Ver.
It should be available in March.
A Tachikoma in all its glossy splendor, from MegaHouse.
The Eye Up company’s booth.
Eye Up’s unpainted prototype of a Birdy figure.
Limited edition version of MegaHouse’s Sakura Nanako from upcoming eroge Sakura Sakura.
See many more photos of the event at online retailer Hobby Stock’s Reports page, and Akiba Hobby.

This really makes me want to get one. Too bad I don't have the money to buy them..... =(
Wow, Definitely looking forward to the Yoko one.
Are the "chibi" figures supposed to be fortune-telling figures? I remember getting a few Gundam ones that looked exactly the same last time I was in Japan.
Yes, they're labelled as "uranai" (fortune telling) figures.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the Menas figure from Queen's Blade looks like she's cutting a huge fart?
Odd that the only figure I liked in that bunch was the coy Yuki Nagato. The Queen's Blade stuff...I don't know why I'm not that interested in it.
I want all!
A note on the last picture in the set; that's actually the standard version of Sakura Nanako, with the red trim and opaque leotard. The "Platonic Side" limited version has blue trim and the leotard's a bit translucent.
yuki looks too tall ._.
=0 I want to see that Birdy figure painted! =0
Birdy Decode is one series I'd totally buy figures for instantly. I'd do the same for new Slayers or Disgaea 3 figures, but they don't seem to be particularly forthcoming.
That Yoko has the best expression. ^_^
Nice photos, Quen. Especially the tachikoma with all the shine and detail.
This is what you've been up to aside from UNICEF's misdeeds?
No. ^^
The Tachikoma is indeed sexy...
All i want is that almost-extinct Yuumil (Queen's Blade) figure..
I was going to pick up the Gift Yoko but I might instead get that awesome Alter one instead. I wonder how much it costs? The Sheryl figure looks awesome, I might pick that up.
zOMG!
can't wait for Alter release the final product of the Sheryl Nome figure =3
Do want on those chibi Macross F figures and chibi Gurren Laggan~
<3 <3 <3
No closeup on Eye up's rozen maidens? :3
They look cute.
I don't think I saw any closeups of those - sorry.
yeah i have to keep entering it all the time now ever since the site had that server issue yesterday or so. Its annoying! it was so much easier before when it was there for me. The ranka one is a win But i sTill woulda preferred the classic green hair even if it was nose art.
Though this is neither the time nor place...
I've had the same problem, but to be fair, I noticed the issue only when I used a DIFFERENT browser.
Try clearing your cookies...
been having the same problem too, and my cookies clear evertime i close firefox.
i have a form filler so it doesnt happen to me ever actually once i enter it once i never have to enter it again. the only drawback is if you dont backup your passwords you may forget them.
Yuki has a very Rei Ayanami-esque pose, very nice.
And I beleive that Sakura is castoffable.
tachikoma is win...
is it only me? sankaku is not remembering my profile...
Same. I've tried three different browsers and cleared my cookies; it's got to be the site.
It's your browser remembering it, not the site...
The line ups are awesome! Most especially Yuki Nagato and Yoko!
Ooohh Birdy figure looks promising.. hope I don't miss out on seeing how it looks painted, if they do it the same way as on the pricetag thingy infront of it I wont complain.
I like the Nia and Yoko chibis~
Any of you guys know if the yoko one is already availaible for preorder?
I HAVE to buy it!!!
No, I gave links to most figures that were available for pre-order / hadn't sold out, and I believe Yoko's wasn't up anywhere I looked.
the yuki figurine is delicious. but i want my meganekko sitting on a chair reading a book instead.
but hell, the rest were amazing as well
