Winter WonFes 2015 wishlist...

Winter WonFes 2015 was held in Japan today (Sunday) and enormous amount of new figure releases were announced ;___; I got quite excited over a number of them, so I wanted to make a blog post rambling about the ones I'm going to keep an eye on. I hope that at least some of these turn out not to be must-haves after more updates on their making progress, my wallet would feel miserable if I had to get all...

The whole list of EVERY figure announced can be found here on Myfigurecollection!

There was an INSANE amount of new Saber figures announced (though it seems to happen every year), but luckily there was only one that caught my attention... This Saber Alter by Good Smile Company ;w; ♥ It already looks like it's gonna have a huuge price tag on it, but if it turns out as amazing as I can imagine, I think I need to get her anyway...

I'm probably known as a huge fan of Love Live, but another music-themed anime that I love is Pri Para! SEGA announced that they're going to make a prize figure of Manaka Lala. There were also announcements for Nendoroid versions of Hojou Sophie and Minami Mirei !!

KIRBYYYYY!! ♥♥♥ I love this silly little thing XD

Let's not forget about Love Live... They got many new releases too u_u SEGA announced prize figures of Nozomi, Kotori and Nico in their "Sore wa Bokutachi no Kisaki" outfits ♥ The other girls have been announced earlier already and I've apparently missed these news completely ^^; I don't know whether or not I should try to collect a fullset of these... I do like their outfits and poses and all, but I already have 2 other Love Live prize figure sets and a group of nine takes a lot of space, so...


Max Factory will make figmas of ALL nine girls, but in their school uniforms so I'm not especially interested in them, thank god XD Bandai announced S.H.Figuarts action figures of Honoka, Kotori and Umi... They've released some of the girls previously, but I'm more of a fan of figmas in general, so I've been waiting for Max Factory to make nice figmas of Love Live girls. Now seeing that they're going for the school uniforms, I'm not sure if I should continue waiting or get the S.H.Figuarts versions after all >.<


And then there is this thing, which really made my heart skip a beat... Seriously, RAH of Michelle??? *O* I didn't care about the series (Terra Formars) that much, but I looove Michelle's character~ She reminds me of my Carmen X'D RAH are quite expensive and there's a possibility that this could be an exclusive release, so I don't know if I should just forget it ;___; She does look awesome though and would make a nice fighting pair to my RAH Saber XD

Has anyone else found some figure favorites from the huge WonFes list? :3

  1. I'm especially waiting for Magic Knight Rayearth figma girls and figma Meitantei Holmes aka Sherlock Koira, iih! <3 ;_; Nuoruuteni ja lapsuuteni sankarit! Muistan kuinka katsoin lapsena Sherlock Koiraa silloin 90-luvun lopussa telkkarista ja Taikasoturitkin tuli katsottua SubTV:stä. Muistoja, muistoja...
    Gaah, that Saber Alter looks so awesome! ö_ö <3

    1. Oii, nostalgiaa <3 Ite oon kyllä jossain tynnyrissä varmaan kasvanu, kun en ole koskaan nähnyt Sherlock koiraa taikka Magic Knight Rayearthia ^^; Mutta kuullut olen sentään. Kiva kun tekevät figuja välillä muistakin kun pyörivistä/kaikkein suosituimmista sarjoista, löytyy kaikille jotain~

      Joo nghh toi Saber Alter on niin upea ;___; Pelottaa vähän, että minkähintainen tulee olemaan...

  2. Hi Safir, I am glad to be able to read your blog again! I was getting worried and was hoping everything was all right.

    Thank you for posting about the new releases. I did see some of those figures on the Figma blog. I had wondered who they were so now I know.

    I love the RAH line but you're right, they are so pricey. I've seen a few I would have loved by the price tag definitely makes me pause, which in hindsight is a good thing! Better for the wallet.

    1. Heey, sorry about that :( I ran into some art theft problems on DeviantArt and got so sad about it that for a moment I wanted to completely stop posting my doll photos publicly... Which is why this blog was set to private too. But then I decided that I can't let some copycats stop me from doing what I love, so the blog is back now :3

      Great if the info was useful! ^^ I always stalk Myfigurecollection for that compiled list after WonFes since it can be quite difficult and time-consuming to look for the figure info from multiple sources. Though the list only has figures that were announced at WonFes, then there are also many figures that have been announced earlier, but got their prototype or other update showcased in the event.

      Yeah the RAH figures are definitely pricey, though I also understand the higher price tag as they're so detailed, awesome quality and quite big too. I have RAH Saber that I got as a Christmas present and I absolutely adore her...

    2. I'm glad you decided to come back. Definitely don't let them win. I'm sorry to hear about the art theft problems. I used to have my bjd photos on my deviantART as well but took them off a while back. It seems I hear a lot about photos being taken from deviantART galleries. I don't know why people do that sort of thing. I really don't.

      Maybe I will splurge on a RAH figure one day ... I also say that about one of those Hot Toys figures too. One day, when I win lotto or something ...

  3. Ite oon pähkäilly samaa noiden LL! Sore wa Bokutachi no Kisaki-prize figuurien kanssa kun tila alkaa loppumaan väkisinkin jos vielä monta 9 jäsenen settiä tulee hommattua! XD Ehkä hommaan van lempparit, koska Eli ainakin näyttää tosi nätiltä ja hyvin tehdyltä (KERRANKIN)!! ♥
    Toi Kirby on kyllä älyttömän söpö mut mulle jäi se auki et onko se nendoroidi vai mitä ihmettä? Kun ainakin MFC:n sivuilla se oli listattu nendoroidien joukkoon...? O__o Jos pitää paikkansa niin täytyy varmaan meillekin hommata yksi!! >w<

    1. Hahah joo ihan sama ongelma täällä tuon tilan kanssa XD Nuo vaan näyttää aina settinä niin söpölle ja on niin vaikea valita jos pitäisi hommata vain pari jajaja... Umista ja Rinistä en erityisemmin välitä, mutta noilla kaikilla lopuilla on kivat poset ja kasvot ja sit tuntuis jotenkin tyhmälle jättää pari ostamatta >////< Noh, täytyy miettiä näitä XD Onneksi ne tulee sentään taas yksi per kk, eikä minään jättikönttinä kerralla kaikki.

      Nendoksi ne tuon Kirbyn on MFC:n sivuilla ainakin tosiaan laittaneet, mutta sitä tuntui muutkin vähän ihmettelevän D: En näe tuossa mitään saumoja mistä pystyisi liikutella taikka vaihtaa osia, eikä lisäkuviakaan taida olla... Mutta jännityksellä jään kyllä odottamaan millainen tuosta paljastuu, Kirby on jotain niin söpöä >3<

  4. Omg that Saber is looking awesome at this stage! Thenagain I love the look of 'blank' figures. They are like small statues. I hope this one will still look as awesome when painted.

    And I also have to chime in as I'm glad this blog is no longer invite-only. I was so happy that you started writing more regularly, I love reading your posts and seeing your pictures here. I hope you get that art theft sorted out, that isn't cool.

    1. It sure is!! I enjoy looking at the grey prototypes too, sometimes the paint jobs end up destroying the whole thing and I wish they could've just sold the non-painted one XD Buuut I have high hopes for this one, let's see how she'll turn out! (And how long it's going to take u_u)

      Thank you so much, I'm really happy to hear you've enjoyed my blog ; w ; I will try to stay active with blogging now~ Dealing with art theft is more like a never-ending battle, so I just need to stay strong and not give up doing what I love because of some people's actions u_u

  6. Some awesome picks from the WonFes you have there!

    For me there was one that made my day... well, my week... scratch that, my year! x'D Nendoroid Koujaku! <3 I'm so excited that my favorite character from my favorite visual novel is finally getting a decent (hopefully) figure release at last! ^3^

    I'm sad and angry to hear about that art theft. >:-I But I'm glad to hear that you're not letting them ruin your love for this hobby! :3 Stay strong!
