Connecticon 2006: Day 1

[slimequest]

You guys, they had two copies of Star Ocean 1. And the Super Famicom versions of FF4 and FF6. It's awesome to see them up close. They had the Japanese versions of some DS games for sale too, like Xenosaga I + II and that.. Jump Superstars orgy game or whatever. They were trying to sell Greatest Hits versions of some PS1 games (US versions) for sixty bucks though, wtf.

Cosplay as you would expect. If I see one more Roxas... at least I saw an Eight (DQ8 hero) cosplayer. Stupid me forgot the camera today, but I'll take some pictures tomorrow for sure.

Got to see some Saiyuki Reload Gunlock. Episodes 3 and 4, the board game episode (lolz) and that episode with the redheaded woman with boobs. First time I've seen this series at all. It's pretty interesting, moreso than I thought it would be. Too bad they were only showing eps. 1-4, because the next episode had that demon girl with boobs in it that krile was telling me about ;_;

It was lots of fun, though, I'm looking forward to tomorrow and the next day. I've never been to any of those HUGE anime cons so something like this is a big deal for me. My loot today consisted of a nice KOS-MOS figure and a Dragon Quest V figure (I got lucky and got the hero). krile mostly splurged on Tales of Phantasia and Tsubasa Chronicle stuff, which she will most assuredly detail in a post soon.

I guess the saying "The camera adds 10 lbs" applies to toy video game robots, as well.

Of course.

Actually now that I've taken her out of the box, her back is arched so that could make it seem like her stomach is pushed out, too.

It's her legs, too, that look fat. Like a not-as-muscular Chun-Li.

Also, there were no Dragon Quest VIII hero figurines? I think the only decent character designs in the entire series were the DQ8 Hero, Jessica, Prince of Sumaltria, and Maribel.

I have the full set of Dragon Quest VIII figures (Hero, Jessica, Angelo, Yangus). They're literally action figures, or moreso poseable and moveable than most figurines.

I have no idea if they ever made decent DQ7 figures.

Can you pose Jessica's breasts, too?


I've never seen decent [official] figures from games I like. I remember a few years back, EBGames was selling Dark Cloud figures. They were goddamn awful looking. Now that I think about it, I should've bought them anyways.
