While I'm happy to see more GK events like Garage Works Communication, it's still too small in scale to be compared to the likes of Wonder Festival or even Treasure Festival (only 27 dealers were present at GWC act.9). It's just too unsatisfying as a filler event.
In the month leading up to Ariake 6 I'd been taking note of all the cool new kits, but at the time of writing this post I'm still frantically taking notes thanks to a good number of dealers withholding info until the last minute. Let's just say I'm a bit overwhelmed right now.
(DAMN IT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE UP BEFORE THE ACTUAL EVENT!!! Orz)

"Sea Girl" from SAGAMI FC

"Yukiko-hime" from essence

"Mikazuki Yozora 4" from Seidou Circus

"Kashiwazaki Sena 2" from Seidou Circus

"Hatsune Miku" from Toushirou

"Hatsune Miku 2020" from Grizzry Panda

"Akemi Homura" from Grizzry Panda

"Merry Nightmare" from Ringo Renmei

"Maekawa-san" from Doll House Utsunomiya
"Acony" from Nikemeyo
I had to remove a good number of kits from this list after realizing that they were either a) unavailable until WF2012, b) a color resin kit, c) a PVC, d) old, or e) not really that great.
My favorites are "Hatsune Miku", "Maekawa-san" and "Acony". They're the only three that I would consider adding to my collection.
Now I just need to see the first two in color. >_>

I grabbed the Homura from Grizzry Panda. Definitely one of the better HomuHomu kits out there. Their Mami wasn't too bad either!
But yeah, lots of makers were holding out for WF. Well, let's see if it's an improvement over the last few events, though TF didn't exactly suck, but it wasn't really amazing either.
I've been lagging behind the times with Japanese anime/manga culture. So many up-and-coming fan favorites will be featured at the next WF and I'm going to be there without a bloody clue what the fuss is all about.
The problem is twofold.
