First WonFes here too, is there a live blog to watch / read or anything like that? This is like the E3 of figures, right?

Expect to be excited for more things than you can possibly afford, and appalled at yourself for being such an easy mark for the figure companies.
No, just people posting pictures via twitter and everyone posting what they like on here. Sites like plastikitty do coverage of it and tumblrs like ohnoraptors posts every picture she can find on her tumblr.

Your best bet is to keep refreshing ohnoraptors blog and Plastikitty.

that's good to know
I am aware that a couple of figures I want will be displayed there, but I know there will be a few more will be added to the wishlist.
I think this pretty much how it will be xD

There'll be some twitter accounts that will tweet a load of figures etc, but last time IIRC we mostly checked on MFC for new figure updates, can't recall which twitter accounts had primarily the newest figure photos though, will post it here once those accounts go photo crazy again.
And them.

Being realistic, from WonFes I just want ZSS figma, ALBW figma, Prison School scales, Cordelia scale, that bike girl thing.
I thought about buying that Atobe King scale but it would be too otome for me.

I'm pretty happy with her. Then again I'm new to this game.
If you guys dont mind me asking but I have a question regarding the dark angel Olivia figure , is she worth the price? I see that's she getting a restock in June and i have been thinking about putting a pre order down for her just wondering if anyone here who has the figure likes what they received.

sick, I didnt care about tharja, but cordelia would be my second preorder ever
Thanks for your response! Im now siding with pre ordering her now! I figured that she was a beauty in person just need some confirmation!
I don't have the figure but people on the MFC site seem to like it a lot. What I usually do is look at a review on Youtube simply because I think its better at showing quality than pictures. This figure looks pretty awesome IMO.

Here you go photo galleries:
These have been on MFC for a while after they were teased last year (I think it was last year). I'm excited to see them since I have Madoka and Homura with Mami preordered!
Personally I really like the red version a whole lot better but the original is good, too. I preordered it the day it went up (last year). Zero regrets. She is fabulous! Here are a few pics I took back when I first got my DSLR last year. Lighting isn't great but anyway...maybe they will help you compare and decide
Edit: Samurai_Heart's links should give you an even better comparison. More thorough photo shoots than my shots.
Thanks for the info! , im checking Youtube as i type this to see how others think about her so far most of the comments are positive but just in case are there any Reviewers you recommend? A Nice detailed review would be cool
WOW! Im not surprised at her high price anymore, no wonder everyone was claiming that she was one of the best last year the detail and the majestic pose just kills her competition! she was under my radar until only recently when the restocks were announced definitely can't miss out on this

Hmmmmm Professor Renegade is still banned? Would've thought he be back before WonFES but guessing he's probably been banned for a month.
Nope, not really. I just vary. I actually do it to get my own look at it, since it will be in my room after all, so even if a reviewer is not too happy with it, as long as I will be, it's all good. But this figure in particular is getting great scores on MFC and the detail looks sick in the few videos that I did see. I don't think you can go wrong with it.
Edit: What the fuck, Bee Girls?

Not enough buzz around them, I see.

Oh man even the Alternate looks great! I assumed my chance on getting this version was gone as she was a Festival exclusive if im not mistaken? what would you say would be a fair price for this version? The original (Restock) is going for about roughly $100 USD on amiami right now and thats pretty enticing
I now know what you guys mean now , my wallet is gonna die from all this lol

I hope they change the skin tone to be more greyish.
Think we'll see a painted bishoujo Poison?
Looks great but I hope that the face does not end up like Zatanna and SheHulk. ]:Kotobukiya reveals Raven Bishoujo:

No. Sculpt is a definite maybe.
What happened? I'm guessing something in the trans magic character thread?

Looking forward to see how she translates as a sculpt.
Also her backside.

Not really digging it. Was expecting her to be grey-skinned.

You guys know when Raven had grey skin outside of the comics? NEVER!!! Go read some classic TT comics and stop thinking of the cartoon.
Also, KanColle apocalypse begins with Aquamarine:
She (the red version) was $140 brand new from Koto's web shop. The page indicates she's actually still available so you could try there. Guaranteed legit and cheap shipping. She was also sold in limited numbers by Crunchyroll's shop later for a slightly better price (no idea if they have any left).
She pops up from time to time on amiami/mandarake preowned BUT beware no matter which version you get her box is huge so you will have to use EMS shipping if you import from Japan so no joke you're looking at $40 or so for shipping (koto US shop only charges like $12 flat rate for fedex in the US, so that's a big difference).

Yep said an offensive term and didn't edit in time before a mod saw it, I believe.
Man, that's the...third figure with that pose of Shimakaze [to my knowledge]. There ARE other poses they can go with, you know. I mean sure, this one is more on the "ecchi" side of things [which means $$$!], but still. A little variety would be nice.
Oh look, Kirisaki Chitoge [Alter] has been painted.
Also RIN!!
