I like the neck strap, it was very comfortable xD

Although I was only at Fanime for one day, actually 5 hours and 2 of those hours were spent in lines to get into the convention ^^;;, I was able to enjoy the dealers room and artist alley where I managed to acquire some swag. There were lots of dealers and artists, you can take a look at the rooms here. The dealers room looked like it consisted mostly of figure sellers that took half the room (they were spread out throughout the whole room), lolita clothing/clothing took 1/4 of the room, and the other 1/4 consisted of people selling Japanese snacks, bags, games, manga, cells, etc. Read on to see all the swag I bought.

First off, on to the dealers room swag. Since half the dealers were figure vendors, it’s expected to buy a figure which is what I did not just once but twice ^^. First off is my very first nendoroid and she is super cute, Al Azif from Demonbane. First off, I bought her because she’s cute and I can’t find her locally lol, she is one of the cuter ones out of all the nendoroids made by Good Smile. Look forward to cute pictures of her this summer xD.

Another first for me is my own Revoltech figure, Pocco. To be honest, I don’t like posable figures because their joints look too obvious. When I initially saw Pocco online I thought “Now there’s a figure I want to get” for her joints isn’t obvious like all the rest. Plus she’s cute lol.

On to the artist alley. Although a large number of artists were present, only a few really caught my eye.

Warning: What you are about to see might be too cute for you to handle, I suggest you look only for an instant then look at something else for the cuteness will draw you in, it’s already too late for me T-T.

The next set of pics are things my girlfriend bought while she was there.

First off, one thing she has been look for at least a year. She’s a big fan of CLAMP, particularly one character that they created, Tomoyo. She has been looking for one Tomoyo trading figure and she finally found it at Fanime. One vendor was actually selling boxes of open clamp in 3d land boxes and they only had one from series 4, and the rest were series 5, Tomoyo was the series 4
(I was deep into the world of figures at the time elsewhere, the funny thing is I thought she said she found a cel of Tomoyo when she called ^^;;)

A cute picture of Namine from Kingdom Hearts, the same people made my Kairi bookmark above.

Something new we haven’t seen before and is totally awesome and cute is the Drunken Panda aka Nomimono Panda. She was very excited when she saw it and I was too (on the inside ). They are awesome and you can check out more info about the creator and their art here. She bought buttons, bookmarks, and a tote bag. The tote bag was only $5 to my surprise, I was expecting at least $15.

Lastly is the cover of guide to Fanime throughout the long weekend which is pretty nice and must have cost them a lot for the whole thing is in color . The schedule for all the events is on regular paper though that is stapled and came with the guide.

If I had more time I would probably have bought more things from Fanime, though I don’t know if my luggage could handle anymore lol. It took some rearranging to bring all of it back with me ^^. I’ll get more next time or at another anime convention if I find time to go.
