[BGBW]

So my list of potential buys is likely smaller than the average. Well it helps that I haven't caught the KanColle bug just yet.

And I'm not even certain I need all that. MM Link nendo depends on the parts to see how much it differs from WW Link (how funny it's the two Zelda with the initials that are flipped) and scale Link depends on price. Also I wonder what happened to the ALBW Figma.

She's a farm girl.. with horns...?

How can we get in contact with figure makers and tell them to make more faces like this? Absolutely amazing.

Guys, what did I do? Before I knew that I'm interested in too much figures but when you look at a list it's really frightening. I should quit this hobby

Spoiler

I know you can't escape this hell heaven

 

[Snkfanatic]

Preliminary wishlist. Did I miss anything?

Tempy has best taste

 

[Settin]

Wait...wait...hold it.

Arshes Nei [Orchid Seed] is getting a re-release? The picture is a little blurry, but I believe I can make out the "Re-Release" text. O_O

JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL

Also Goku Uniform Mako will probably be my second nendo ever.

[Settin]

That Mammon recolor tho....
WTF is that

 

[Einbroch]

Overall, sort of a "meh" WonFes for me. We saw a lot of great scales and some interesting figmas, but overall the Nendoroid selection kinda let me down. Not that it's a bad showing, but there wasn't that "HOLY SHIT YESSSSS" reveal for me. Except maybe Len, but my cynicism took hold of me so when he was revealed it was more of a "whew".

Now, let's get to the list.

DEFINITE PURCHASES, DUN CURR

Nendoroids

Rakuen Tsuihou: Expelled From Paradise - Angela Balzac
Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu~ - Marth
Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu~ - Sheeda
The Rolling Girls - Moritomo Nozomi
Kantai Collection ~Kan Colle~ - Hoppou Seiki
Kantai Collection ~Kan Colle~ - Yamato
Kirby
Date A Live - Itsuka Kotori

Scales

Vocaloid - Kagamine Len - 1/7 - Tony ver.

MAYBE, DEPENDS ON ACCESSORIES/HOW THEY LOOK

Nendoroids

Zelda no Densetsu: Majora no Kamen - Link

Still excited, don't get me wrong! Lots of good stuff comin'.

 

[Ultimadrago]

This avatar has actually grown on me over the weeks and I think I'll be sad once it's gone.
What is this black magic?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Out of everything we have seen its obvious what is an absolute must buy..

new shelves.

 

[Caineghis]

I finally caught up with the thread, my wallet was already crying by the second page of the wonfest xD.

My wishilist for now is:

[kewlmyc]

Definite buys regardless of price:

Will wait for more infromation (scale, price, coloring, release date, etc.) before making decision:

If it makes you feel any better I still haven't gotten over that one Tetra avatar he had once

 

[Ryuuroden]

Flare

Is 16,000 JPY @ BiJ; immediate payment required

http://myfigurecollection.net/item/287913

ah man, so many decisions to make and all this is stuff that showed up after I went to bed. My list from before then is much longer.

 

[raven777]

updated list

Will probably end up buying 3~4 max.

 

[Ultimadrago]

wha? I may have missed that one.

 

[DeadRockstar]

Tentative wish list:

The Kongou bust is a silly item but that hair is pretty unf so who knows, if it still looks nice with paint I might not be able to resist. Saber Royal Dress Ver. not included because shops are already listing her.

WTF list:

Native didn't paint that Mebae illu they finally sculpted last year.
OS didn't paint their Dark Elf or Shadow Wing, which were sculpted ages ago.

Not uncommon behaviour for either company but still, lame.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

So 1/7 scale translates to about what in inches? Looking at that Link figure and wondering what size that'll end up being.

 

[RMI]

omg who is he?!

catching up on all these pages of wonfes stuff and the thing that most sticks out is: WTF IS THIS GARBAGE WHERE THE HELL IS RIN?!?!

That's all. Also I'm going to be so broke.

 

[Theonik]

Whatever is Link's height divided by 7.

Depends how tall the character is RAH Link is 11.7in at 1/6 though, so a little over 10in for 1/7.

what kinda cost do those 1/6th figures come in at?

 

[Settin]

Lawd Jesus

 

[DeadRockstar]

It occurs to me that RAH figures might be unusable in terms of scale reference now that I look at it. They seem to default to 300mm for the majority of characters while still claiming they're 1/6. Link's height remains a mystery.

RAH prices vary pretty wildly depending on the character. Link was around 15k after discount, Band of the Hawk Guts was around 20 and the currently listed Dark Knight ver is around 27.

Don't know how I missed this but.... I need this now >.<

Okay, THIS could potentially get me, but fortunately nothing else for me from that giant onslaught.

 

[Ohmygoditsjrod]

Yeah, I have a question. (Madoka spoilers)

Spoiler

I haven't seen the series, but I've found out a few spoilers from it. Does no one else feel disturbed about how the Madoka figures present the girls as cutesy and occasionaly risque (like this one in particular) in contrast how gruesome and brutal her death is?

I don't like the heads when they give them normal bodies. However, I was looking into getting the Mami Nendo until I saw some accesories and this picture.

Fuck them for this. They aren't getting my money.

Spoiler

well maybe... eventually.

My son has both the Ash and Link RAH figures. Ash is noticeably shorter standing at about 9.5 inches.

Link is a statue though right? Or are they planning to add articulation to that prototype? If it's a statue, the position he's in will greatly reduce how tall the piece is. It's nice though. I was just telling my son he had three of the best Link figures out there, (Nendo, RAH, Figma) and now they went and produced another Nendo and that Statue. He's running out of space in his detolf.

Oh man, I wonder what they used for the skin color, they all look amazing.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I can't get over how much I like Figma Akagi.
You see the artwork and im like wow I want that figure, you see the anime and im like I need a figure.
But to get her in hand... just an awesome design and figure also with great accessories.

(that full mouth face is so good)

 

[SoldnerKei]

checking MFC recent uploads for GSC Erza... saw a Lucy's figure thumbnail... another swimsuit? *open link* yeah another swimsuit :T

this caughtt my attention too, but their poses look kind of boring, hopefully they come with accesories or something

 

[Seductivpancakes]

alright this is going on my list.

 

[DeadRockstar]

Haha indeed. You're almost in Hot Toys territory with those.

My son has both the Ash and Link RAH figures. Ash is noticeably shorter standing at about 9.5 inches.

Yeah, they're certainly not all the same. The only one I own is EVA-01 which I think is 39cm and Ryuuko is 27, for example. Way too many are 30cm for it to be believable though, at least according to MFC.

No, you're right. He's static and not standing straight, so until there's an official measurement it's guesswork to some extent.

To your son's issue, the answer is of course more detolfs

Spoiler

Until you have 4 and a Billy like me

What are the first two on the left from the bottom row?

 

[omlet]

Well, just woke up... looks like a few more neat things showed up while I was asleep. Need to eat something but I will probably make a picture-based wishlist here today too. After I find something to eat...

...but first...

Yeah, I have a question. (Madoka spoilers)

The figures are just being true to the spirit of the show, generally. That contrast works very well in the way the story is presented. Honestly, as someone mentioned, this really is a big part of the appeal. It is disturbing--in a good way. You should really check out the show, btw. It's great.

That said, Mami in a towel is still a terrible and boring figure and I wish Aniplex was spending their efforts on something more interesting.

Sakura Aoi and Kikuchi Makoto.

Yeah a second Detolf is around the corner for sure. There'd be more room in the first, but he likes to display the boxes along side of the figures sometimes.

 

[Settin]

OK FigureGAF. I've filled my shelves now that Lady Satsuki came. I need something like a detolf but horizontal.

Edit: also 14" between shelves. My 1/5 Sonico is a pain

 

[FrostyCollects]

Back from the dead...

Pretty cool reveals at Wonder Festival. I'll have to absorb some more before making up my mind on what to buy.

But of course, I'll get ALL KanColle Nendos & figFIXes. Fire Emblem & MM Link Nendos as well.

 

[Ryuuroden]

My wallet is happy and I am sad that still no fleet carriers or LWA figures showed up.
