Alter and Megahouse both represented with some delicious items at Wonder Festival, offerings made all the more intriguing due to what seems to be a robust partnership emerging between the two companies spanning several projects over the coming months. Are they positioning themselves to rival the Goodsmile / Max Factory coalition (which Alter left behind only recently)? We’ll be watching… for now, the scoops:

Man, what a pain! I want C.C, but not sitting down! X( Ah well, will wait to see what Max/GSC’s ones look like when the represent…
Not really interested in the characters mentioned in this line-up, though it’s nice to see new figures.
Indeed. More figures is never a bad thing. Except for the wallet, but then nothing ever is.
I honestly haven’t liked most C.C. up until now because of coloring, but the Alter touch may change that. She could be standing on her hands for all I care so long as they try for an accurate depiction. But sooner or later every company is going to start their “Many Faces of C.C.” line, with every single outfit she’s ever been in and then some.
Karen’s sculpt is looking really great as well.
Airi and Nix from Mega House…Hoshi!!! ^_^
A lot of stuff I’ll probably miss when it comes out, although if I have to get one C.C., it’s got to be that sitting one…
Grrreat… just what I need, another Ikkitousen figure. And a Kanu one at that. At least it’s not until ’08. The Airi should go great next to my Tomoe (still waiting on that one). As far as C.C. goes I want the either the goth-loli or the Ashford Academy one. And maybe her first suit (the straight jacket looking thing). Oh who am I kidding, I’ll probably buy anything they put out as long as it looks nice…
my poor bank acct…
Mmmm… I like the Shizuka one…
