Both figure manufacturers and figure collectors were out in full force for the Mega Hobby Expo Autumn 2018 held on Nov. 24! As always, expo host MegaHouse and participants like Aniplex, Kotobukiya, and Alter brought no shortage of high quality treasures to Akihabara UDX’s AKIBA_SQUARE for fans to get a peek at.
Let’s kick things off with some equally powerful yet stunning figures from the Fate series, with familiar faces like Saber, Rin, Astolfo and more from a variety of figure makers!
Ninjas were also well represented with dynamic Naruto figures! MegaHouse will bring a kabuki-inspired Naruto and Sasuke, plus Madara to fans in 2019 as part of the G.E.M. series. A gorgeous wedding version of Hinata from the Naruto Gals line definitely deserves attention too!
Sword Art Online fans will soon be able to add their favorite characters to their party with these choices both cute and serious from MegaHouse and Aniplex!
Beloved game characters also made appearances, including Velvet from Tales of Berseria, Ethan and Leaf (plus their dependable companions!) from Pokémon, Protagonist from Persona 5, and Mayuri and Kurisu from Steins;gate!
MegaHouse also displayed new additions for the vibrant Portrait.Of.Pirates series, so there’s lots to look forward to for fans of One Piece!
Don’t forget these two hardworking virtual YouTubers – Kizuna AI and Siro will soon be greeting fans in person as scale figures by Tokyo Otaku Mode!
The list goes on and on! There’s more to admire in the gallery below, so be sure to check it out and see what might be heading to your figure collection for next year!
