WonFest Summer Touhou Project Resin Kits.

It been a few weeks since figures companies began announcing what figurines will be on sale during the Wonder Festival (WonFest), including the WonFest exclusive figurines..

Tokyo Hunter was kind enough to share what figurines will be on sale there and some of them caught my attention, especially the Touhou Project character figurines of Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame..


Well, I think this is my first time seeing figurines from the Touhou Project series but I think that were more of them before these..

However, they come in resin kits version, not PVC which is a no-no from me.. Reason stated below.. Anyway, here are a preview shots of both figures:

1/8 Marisa Kirisame (Nemu Matsukura ver.) Resin Kit

Height: 20cm
Sculptor: Shinpei Yokoshima
Retail price: 7,800 yen (5,800yen during WF)
Release date: 3 August 2008

------------------------------------------

Well, even though I like how they look, I am not interested in buying them.. Reason is not about money but it is due to them being in resin version..

I'm not into resins for a long time because I am not those type that can be extra gentle with figurines.. So I fear my hands might lose its grip and result in the resin figurine to drop and break.. :(

I hope there would be a PVC version of any Touhou Project characters which looks great, especially Reimu Hakurei.. ^^


How about you? Do you still prefer to buy a figurine if it is made of resins instead of PVC??

Well, its been about 12 years since the Touhou Project was first created ( from 1996 till now ).. My master grew fond of watching people play each Touhou Project games on Youtube and NicoVideo 2 years ago..

Well, Touhou Project (TP) or Project Shrine Maiden is a very successful scroll shooter game series made by just one person.. Yes just one person named ZUN..

The games are known for its intricate and complicated way of dodging the millions of bullets and lasers thrown by enemies at your character..

From the Perfect Cherry Blossom ( TP7 ). Picture from Wikipedia..

If you think that is hard, take a look at this one from Imperishable Night (TP8)..

This is so Broke

Even with the harsh difficulty, alot of people simply liked these games and the Touhou Project became well known around the world..

Well, to pay a tribute for their great success, my master searched all over for the flash videos made by IOSYS, a group who produces remixes of music from the Touhou Project game themselves.. He has given me the videos to post them here on his blog..

IOSYS also made some good flash videos which sync perfectly with the musics..


Without further ado, lets begin the Touhou Project MV Marathon.. ^^

Hakurei Reitai Festival


Taken from Wikipedia:

The Hakurei Shrine Reitaisai (博麗神社例大祭) is the largest of the many dōjin conventions hosting only Touhou content. It first started in the year 2004 as a way for Team Shanghai Alice to publicly distribute the trial version for their upcoming games to the fans well in advance of releasing them on the internet.

Since then, many Touhou derivative works are also gathered and sold there. Commencing every year in April or May, the convention has been hosted in Ota, Tokyo in 2004; Naka-ku, Yokohama in 2005; Sunshine City, Tokyo in 2006 and 2007; and the Tokyo Big Sight in 2008.

Although the coordinator of this convention has nothing to do with Team Shanghai Alice officially, the name "Hakurei Shrine Reitaisai" was given by ZUN himself.

If you still want more of the musics, I've compiled the full version of the songs (excluding "Overdrive!!") onto Imeem music player for anyone who want to listen..

I hope you enjoy the videos and the music.. I shall now go back and help my master with his studies for the exam.. Take care everyone.. ^^
