Why put out Wonder Festival industry news in installments when you can do it all at once? This is the question we attempt to answer in this post, bringing scoops from (in alphabetical order): Alter, Amie Gran, Cafe Reo, CM’s, Daiki Kougyou, First Class, Goodsmile / Max Factory, Griffon, Hobby Stock, Konami, Kotobukiya, Lilics, Megahouse, Movic, Orchid Seed, Organic, Piccolo, Revoltech, Solid Theater, Toranoana, Toy’sworks, and Volks. This post will initially be pretty barebones, with nothing but a bunch of (exceedingly crappy) pictures, but it will be continually fleshed out with concrete information over the next day or so, so feel free to check back if you’re so inclined. Update: Post now includes basic information on all of the new kits announced from the makers we covered! Further updates to be posted as the news trickles in.

Notes:

1. Apologies in advance for the truly awful quality of some of these pictures. They were taken at the end of the day with very shaky hands using a six-year old camera (the memory on the main camera being full). Chalk this one up as a lesson learned for next time.

2. If you’re wondering where a given picture or bit of Wonder Festival news is that you saw elsewhere but don’t see here, odds are we’ve already scooped it. Feel free to check out our recent hobby news if you don’t see it in this post.

3. There are currently a lot of duplicate item images that will be trimmed when time allows.

4. This post contains erotic content not suitable for minors or the workplace. Please don’t look at it if you shouldn’t be. ^^;;

5. Booths I overlooked, either by accident or design: Yamato (see Yamato news here), Medicos / Medicom (they left early), Ensky, New Line, Yujin (does anyone care what Yujin puts out anymore?), and Wave (they already scooped themselves).

6. All items listed are scheduled for release as fully assembled, pre-painted PVC figures unless specified otherwise.
