In fact, we pretty much only had 2 companies representing the prize figure world: Taito and Banpresto. Taito didn’t have any new information, but we do have the sculpts for their <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/taito-offers-up-prizes-from-persona-4-arena-super-soniko" target="_blank">new <em>Persona 4 Area</em> figures</a>!

We’ve got the franchises we always see, like <em>Fate/Zero</em>, <em>One Piece</em>, Precure and Macross, but they had lots of other goodies too. The ones that catch my eye are the dearth of Pokemon figures: everything from plushes (including the new Eevelution, that was fast) to the awesome Eevee in the header to N himself! Oh, and they are also working on a fantastic looking SQ prize for Soniko, making up for the crazy expensive <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/banprestos-soniko-is-everything-i-hoped-for" target="_blank">Ichiban Kuji one</a>!</p> <p>[via <a href="http://twitpic.com/photos/xx_bo_rixx_xx?page=6" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://twitpic.com']);" target="_blank">xx_bo_ri_xx's Twitter</a>]</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/31stPrizeFairHeader.jpg "The 31st Prize Fair Features Soniko, Pokemon, Persona & More!")
