Shall I make a WonFest list? Let's do it!
Getting 150% (in no particular order)
Starfire - Why? She's utterly gorgeous, that's why. Also happy they kept the rock, I was sad when the new WW lost her invisijet. Bishous should have an elaborate base more often!
Takao - Arpeggio was one of my last year's anime surprises and I'm super happy the best girl gets a nice figure, with a classy pose/base to boot!
Phat's Kiryuuin Satsuki - Because Satsuki-sama is the best and because I have Phat's Ryuuko preordered already. Those two will make for a glorious display.
Figma Motoko Kusanagi - A poseable Motoko? Fuck yes! Hopefully there will be plenty of accessories. I'd KILL for a Tachicoma but maybe I'm a bit too greedy here.
Figma Bike Miku - For the bike. Also I suspect the helmet is a useable head.
Figma Saori Takebi - Because
PANZER VOOOOOR!
Figma Chariot - The BRS series was utter shite, but the figmas I've seen so far are great. I'm looking forward to completing the collection.
Figma Akagi - Because carriers need love too, especially cute ones like Akagi. I see no point in scaled figures for the Kancolle girls, the slew of accessories and poseability make this collection to me.
Figma Zero Suit Samus - Already have the scaled version but come on, pass on a Armour/Zero suit Samus duo?
No freaking way.
Queen Muse - Because fucking
Vanillaware.
Megahouse's Sorceress - Yes, the Orchid Seed ver. is fantastic, but 1. I will complete the set, making sure the trio is at the same scale, 2. This is Orchid Seed. Their Sorceress won't come out before the next year
at the least. By the time it's out I'll have ordered it as well and 3. this figure is also extremely accurate to the art it is from.
Juri - badass pose and besides, in Shunya I trust.
Space Battleship Yamato's Niimi - This is not up for debate. Also kind of requires acquiring the previous Yamato waifus, which I am perfectly OK with.
That's it for the OMGZ gimme now figures. I may have forgotten one or the other, but it's late.
Maybe / Need to see more of
Kotobukiya's Lum - For nostalgia's sake.
Gift's Jeanne d'Arc - I need to see her painted, but the dynamic of this figure really moves me.
Racing Miku 2014 - I have way too many Mikus already, but you never know. The art is great, let's see how it translates into plastic.
Figma Avengers - On one hand Iron Man looks terrific, on the other Thor's face looks terrible (need more shots of him) BUT his cape seems to be cloth! Captain America looks ass though, and I already own Nendo Iron Man + Iron Patriot soon. I think I'll stick to the Nendo line for these (I dream of a Nendoroid HULK).
Orchid Seed Sorceress - It's like she popped out of the art, litteraly. Being Orchid though, she'll come out just in time for my 50th birthday or something stupid like that.
Vertex's new Selvaria - Will watch, it'd be cheaper to get this one than trying for the older versions. Boobs may be an issue however.
Himeji Castle - Because I'm a sucker for beautiful architecture. Need to see painted/more angles of.
Figma ZA FUURU - Let's face it, Nobunaga The Fool isn't groundbreaking anime. However, the setting and characters have the potential to turn into something amazing. Plus Jeanne d'Boobs is in there! Not sure if a figma mech would fit, but let's see the pictures first.
Dissapointments
No Girls und Panzer figma sized Panzer IV. My heart is broken.
Vertex's Tiki the fairy - How the hell do you go from
this to
this abomination of a face? She looks like a wide eyed/bug eyed alien/grey mimicing a fairy. Hopefully it's just the paint/lighting that causes this illusion. Maybe better pics will change my opinion, but the eyes being too far apart and less round can't be changed like that
Arcadia trolling with another shit version of the Elin berserker. Seriously, thanks guys. You had a fantastic model with terrific armour and you go and mess it up AND THEN rub it in with a recolour of that mess you made?
Edit : GSC WonFest order placed. Since the release date is July and might even slip further I went with 2 nendos and the figma. If I decide not to keep my nendo in the end I'll just sell her.
