CAPCOM is auctioning off two packs of Okamiden merchandise, based on the popular Wii game


Correction: Okamiden is for the DS, not the Wii. The original Okami is for the PS2 and Wii.

I would love to have the Summer Wars Poster. Why did I have to lose my job? Anime cry The Framed Claymore Art looks pretty cool too.

Ack, that One Piece poster is awesome!! The FLCL one's pretty neat too... heck, they're all cool come to think of it. Anime dazed

Looks like the bids have sailed well past my means, though. Rolling Eyes

The Summer Wars poster is signed by the original (award winning) director.

Come on people. The same Summer Wars poster went for $1200 at the Anime Detour charity auction this last weekend. With the entire fan base bidding on it now, it should easily exceed that amount.

Oh I would love to have that "Wallet Wars" signed poster etc.

The Claymore frame is hurting me also.

A framed Hetalia - Axis Powers poster signed by Todd Haberkorn (Italy), Christopher Bevins (Japan), Eric Vale (America), J. Michael Tatum (France), Jerry Jewell (Russia), Clarine Harp (China), Scott Freeman (Britain), Patrick Seitz (Germany), Palencia (Chibitalia), Christian (Hungary), Cherami Leigh (Liechtenstein), Vic Mignogna (Greece), Whitehead (Sealand), and Ian Sinclaire (Romano); plus special edition "quadruple rainbow" cards and three branded bandannas

How come a few of these voice actors(bolded) are only credited by their last names?

IMO the Summer Wars poster would be more intriguing were it signed by the English cast & crew as well. I'm kinda surprised it isn't, considering the level of pride the English cast generally has for it.

As of right now, these 10 auctions have raised $2548.91, with over a week to go. These are well on their way to rivaling the in-person autograph session that only garnered $30,000 in Akihabara. (I stand by my assertion that Vic Mignogna alone could raise more than 30k, he's worth his weight in gold to a convention Wink )
