And that’s a wrap. Stay tuned for continued HD coverage of Wonder Festival throughout the coming week!
More Yoko ! Woohoo !
Its a pity I want be able to get my hands on any of them. T_T
Before I die, this is one event i want to see in my life even if its just once.
oh how i wish i could build garage kits! I would get LPS’s Mizusawa, Vispo’s Asuka R2, Kurushima’s Kanu, HG’s Aegis, Takenoko Factory’s Fate, DNG’s Fate swimsuit (hmm though the Nanoha pics underneath do not look so good…), um…most of Cerberus Project’s stuff, and of course Reflect’s Cammy! There was a teaser image of cammy (bust up) on Reflect’s blog a couple weeks back, and it was looking quite good. Better than his previous Cammy imo. Can’t wait to see what it looks like finished, and hope it’ll get a PVC treatment!
lots of great stuff, here’s hoping for PVCs of the best of ‘em.
I want those Tsutsumi Kinuka kits, even if they really don’t look like her.
Great coverage Shingo!
It’s easier to look at the kits by maker this way.
And the new Vispo’s Asuka is stunning.
Kurushima’s Kanu is absolutely stunning, and Vispo’s Yoko is the most stylistically faithful representation of her yet. Thanks for the sneak peek, can’t wait for WF coverage! ^^
Wha? Reflect is making a new cammy?
If Kurushima ever release that Kanu for general release, I’ll definitely get a pair. I’ve bought their stuff over the years, and their resin kits are one of the best in the market in terms of quality casting (minimal bubble holes, nice soft resin for easy sanding, not that it’s really required, very good fitting of the various parts, etc)
And I’m looking forward to the new Reflect Cammy. (which if the trend persists, will be released in PVC form in the foreseeable future - see Ino, Cammy, Rei by Shunya/Reflect) 8)
i think thats one of the best C.C sculpts ive seen. id pick up a pvc of that.
[...] 20, 2008 in Figures, Resin kits Winter WonFest is next week and Heisei Democracy has posted up some of the early pickings which will be up for grabs at the event!! a few [...]
That BUBBA Princess Tutu is about the most amazing thing to me.
Omg that Princess Tutu is definitely the highlight of this post for me! Others I’ll have to see colored to make judgement, but a lot of them look awesome imo.
Wow- amazingly good selection here- looking like it’s gonna be a good year for resins and then hopefully pvc!!
Studio Dress’ Maa, Bikkuri!; Bonnou-Tei’s Bloomer Girl; DNG’s Fate are all very hot.
Ryunryun-Tei’s Geryosu S Soubi is so cute.
Reflect updated their blog with some images of their new Cammy:

Oh man, I have to get my hands on Heavy Gauge’s Aegis.

Oh my… That princess Tutu figure is just drop dead gorgeous.
