To clarify: the resin kits coming from Griffon/R-Line at Wonder Festival are definitely unpainted, unassembled kits. There have been no announcements of finished versions scheduled for production (yet, at least). The descriptions clearly say “resin cast kit”, and the price is too low relative to similar pre-painted hybrids.

Thanks again for the scoop. 8)

I believe those QB figures aren’t kits, but completed products (See the Reina figure). Griffon is probably using WHF to sell some of them early to gauge their popularity. Definitely a buy for me for all 3 figures

And as some has commented on Cattleya’s proportions and how it’s a turn off, the same can be said for QG Ink in my case. Thanks but I will pass.

Hmm, a recolored Kanu from Yamato. How surprising…NOT. Still, I guess I will get 1 since it is a Cobra-Kai sculpt. 8)

Nice Spica. Too bad it’s exclusive to a webshop that doesn’t ship overseas. Another pass for me. Hopefully, Shingo will pick her up for a review though. 8)

And I will stick to MaxFactory’s castoffable Fauna. Another pass for Alter’s version for me.

wow those queen’s blade kits are looking awesome. Hope they make it over to the coldcast/hybrid/whatever completed figures.

>>byaku-chan Thanks for the heads up on the Play-Asia sale, I've taken the liberty of making an affiliate link to the same sale myself: Play-Asia bargain figures And speaking of Max Factory's Mai, keep an eye out for a review of Daiki Kougyou's Mai PVC coming online very soon... :3

Can't wait for the WF scoop! I actually rather fancy the Kanu recolour, hmm. Where on earth would I put such a monstrosity though (same reason I passed on the Freeing bunny suit Yuki) @_@ p.s. play-asia is having a Chinese New Year sale, lots of bargains in the figure discount section. Some really good deals like $20 off the Max Fac Mai, I'm picking up a couple of items myself ^^

Woah, the breasts of the Queen’s Blade Reina hybrid figure seems to be those bouncy type like Sanae…. squeezable one… too bad the price is juz too ex… if not.. probably may consider to buy…

The Wonder Festival 2008 Winter event catalog is now on sale… too bad it is not a good news for those living outside Japan…

Wow, the Kanu repaint looks much better than the original. I don’t follow the manga but just as a figure itself its really nice. Maybe if the price was lower I’d get it.
