In this post, Evan, Kyle, and Patz will all be posting their convention loot. Evan is starting it off, but the others are to add their items soon.

I really enjoyed the Otakon dealer's room and found plenty of things to spend my money on. The Artist's Alley was also exciting with Ponyo and Hazuki stuff for me to buy. These photos were taken quickly with my phone. Expect the figures to be featured in higher quality photoshoots in the future. I also got a Kenshin poster, free Haruhi poster, and Touhou manga that I forgot to photograph.




I bought a few figures. I had been wanting to pick up a Miku figure, and I really like this one. It was fifty dollars at the booth where I bought it, but another had it for sixty! The Rakka figure was an obvious buy for me, considering my love of Yoshitoshi ABe. I picked up Nagi and Maria from Hayate the Combat Butler. They also had Hinagiku and "Hermione", but I skipped those two. I really want a matching figure of Hayate himself though. Finally, that die cast Giant Robo fulfilled my need for a mecha figure for only 25 bucks.



Obviously, he deserves another shot.



Also, I couldn't resist this child Haruhi for only 20 dollars. She should be holding her backpack thing.



I like small figs too. Many of these were from blind-boxes, such as the Galaxy Express 999 one and the Shmup model. The Pinky Street figure is designed by Range Murata and comes with an alternate outfit and accessories. Also check out Tezuka's Tink- 2 bucks at the Kinokuniya booth. The Reimu plushie is a highlight item to me.



Free swag from Vertical Inc and MangaGamer. The extra Chi stuff is for my mom's 4th grade class.



Hazuki, from http://sadboyinsnow.deviantart.com/. I am a HUGE Moon Phase fanboy, and this was an exciting find for me.



I adore this Ponyo artwork from http://devilkitten1.deviantart.com/ I also really like my bookmarks from http://gladyfaith.deviantart.com/



Stocked up on Vertical manga from their booth.



Remember the headphone moe artbook? Same thing but with digital cameras. Also picked up a Vocaloid artbook and Yoshitoshi ABe doujin- SIGNED. I already own the Kindle translation, so I am glad to have the physical copy.



I really like the Hatsune Miku CDs and the Aya single. Yes, I payed money for the speedycake remix.

Favourite Dealer: I spent a whole lot of money at Kinokuniya. Sure, plenty of cash was thrown around the entire con, but the Japanese bookstore was a major draw for me. I got CDs, artbooks, Touhou manga, and a lot of cool stuff. There was a ton of stuff that I still wanted to obtain.
