Ah, Hobby Stock. Why must you taunt me so? Why, after Wonder Festival do you post alluring shots of your Tsundere series Otome from Tsuyokiss with the GOOD paint job?! What did I ever do to you, Hobby Stock?! Anyway, so that basically sums up what they've posted up. Sure, you can normally get the Otome figure outside of WanFesu, but this version they've posted was special for the event only and it has a pink apron and black panties. that's just cruel. Oh well, she'll be out never for 4,800 yen. I think the other one is 4,800 yen. It's on the site… search for it.
Three pictures after the jump.

I hope you're starting to see a pattern in my titles for posts like this. Although, I am going to try to promise you that the WanFesu blowout will be more blowouty and I won't be dipping so lightly into the news bin. And there should be a fuck ton more pictures. I will do my best to keep proper descriptions by things and to mark the NSFW as such, but somethings might slide by me, so as always, please remember to browse with caution as there tend to be a lot of the nudie statues. That being said, ON WITH THE NEWS! I've changed the format a bit since WordPress's nesting stuff was being all faggy.

Ok, that's about it. A few of the "Others" links were grabbed from moetron. thanks to pKjd for saving me a bit of work. I wish I had seen it sooner so I could have lifted more before I started. Haha. He has a few that I didn't feature for one reason or another, but they may be of interest to you. Other than that, I think this was a pretty good WanFesu, although the February event always seems to instill a bit more excitement for me. Don't know why. Still! It's not to see some good resin kits being turned out, and it looks like the Max/Alter/GSC group have a nice set coming up. surely it will be an exciting time for figure collectors. Yahoo! Auctions will be abuzz for weeks. Ah well, I'm tired now. Enjoy the content!
I've been picking on Konami a lot lately for their blatant consumer whoing, but I mean it all in good fun. I mean, how can you be mad at someone who offers up such plentiful crap? While their main WanFesu page could use some sprucing up, its useful links are many, and also pretty typical of what you should expect to see from them there. Among them are links to the typical set of Negima Figumate crap, set of Negima Figumate crap (which will surely be out in full force what with both SkyGirls and Strike Witches around the corner), and their latest and greatest, Busou customizable figures,the creepy Negima posables, the 60cm Asuna from Negima(Be sure to click next a few times to spin her around) for only 24,800 yen, and everything marks "? ? ? ? ?" because that is the best thing in the world. Especially the one that has a series heading of "? ? ?" and then the item listing is "? ? ?" WHAT COULD IT BE?!?!?!
Edit: Wordpress has been acting up lately. >.>
Well, the Atelier-sai page certainly has a fuck ton of words on it. I didn't read to many of them, suffice the ones with pictures around them that were related to Wonder Festival Summer. The first one… it's from that game. Damnit, What's it called… Spectral Force 3. That's it. They've got a DAMN, and I mean DAMN DAMN nice Hiro figure from Spectral Force 3. The 1/8 scale resin kit will be there for 8,000 yen and it looks nice, so GO FOR IT! There's a big long text list of the other stuff they'll have there. And there'll be a Full Metal Panic figure, but I got distracted by their list for C3 x Hobby which is apparently going on during the same weekend. Who knew. Anyway, all that stuff is over on their event page, so go check it out. All their pictures are low quality though, so none of them will be posted here.
Well, I figure this will round out the Alter/GSC/Max trio and it looks like GSC isn't coming with too much especially if you're not a fan of Fate/stay night. Their two offerings consist of some Fate tradings figures. Most notably Iliya (or Ilya, whatever makes you happy) riding in Heracles's headand the other tare-Fate people standing around. I think I saw this one else where, but my memory is foggy. It's nothing to impressive, but I put the pictures up after the jump. No limit number was given, and the set will go for 4,000 yen.
The other offering is Nendoroid tare-Saber in her armor with a couple of different faces. I'm fairly certain this one is a limited edition, as the one coming out this September is different, but who knows, it will likely end up on the market at some point. Nothing too terribly exciting here, though I do prefer it to the model that will be out in September. You can grab this one at WanFesu only, for 3,000 yen. Again, no limit number was given.

Alter is going the way of Max Factory, but in an even less interesting way. Well, I guess it's still a pretty affordable way. They're offering some 12cm tall Saber and Rin plushies. The both of them together will run you 2,500 yen and they're limited to a set of 500, but that's all they are going to have at the convention. I'm a bit sad actually. Ok, wait, I just downloaded the video they're offering up on the site of the things, and they're more than just plushies. They're pull string dancing dolls. Ok, they're redeemed. I forgive them. While I would like to see something else, a Saber and Rin pair of spinning pull string dollars is pretty awesome. Especially to sit in front of their larger counter parts and have battles. Be sure to grab the video, it's the link under the image on their page.
Ok, now, I normally don't do weekend posts, but I got an e-mail that inspired me to get off my ass, stop easting greasy American crap, and make a post. What in the world could stop an American from wallowing in a bed of its own filth, you ask? Well, the answer, of course, is a Mikuru PVC! That's right I said PVC. Something us unartful idiots can buy and just stick on a shelf. It might be a resin kit, but the single picture I have makes it a bit hard to tell. So it might be a resin kit. Nuke, the awesome pimp who sent this in, says he thinks it might be 1/6. I'm having trouble finding a good reference in the picture for that, but I'm sure he's using complex math and physics based on the minor reflection and the size of the letters. It's fine, you wouldn't understand. Anyway, more details for this as I get them via e-mail. I'm not going to dig arround right now. The figure itself looks good, except for the stockings which just aren't a good color. Ah well, it captures Mikuru pretty accurately.
There's a picture for you homos after the jump. I'm posting this under the Wonder Festival category even though it was likely at Comiket. I'm sure we'll see more of it though. Yay WanFesu! Thanks a ton to Nuke. He always sends the best stuff.
UPDATE: Via BlckKnght in the comments, and further via AoMM, there is a page with info on the figure. It does come in three colors. White looks the best. All three colors come out at the same time this November for 7,140 yen. There are more pictures on the site linked, but I'm not going to post them here in the interests of waiting until I get some good quality shots of the figure. You all understand, I'm sure.

Well, the product Max Factory is offering up for WanFesu 2006 summer is pretty depressing. It looks like all we're talking about is some Higurashi trading figures than "no fan should be without." Yeah, I guess they're kind of cute, but i think I will be without them. But I'm not really a fan, so there you go. Oh and one of those big red Robot things that I seriously don't care about in the first place. I can fill my shelf with cool looking things, or bland red robots. I never got that whole gig. Even the Gundams. Let's see… Robots with no character or interesting points about them aside from their arbitrary specs, or pretty girls and cool looking guys. Hard choice, I tell you. Ah well, the Higurashi figures will be up for 1,500 yen and the robot guy thing is 3,500 yen. I think it's Red Baron from the 1973 thing Kansatoshi 1. Not sure. I don't know about that though. Maybe it's the other way around. Kansatoshi 1 from Red Baron. I don't know. Don't care.
You've made me sad, Max Factory. So very sad. So no pictures after the jump for you! Not worth the energy. I will post two more companies tomorrow, if I can find them. Haha.
Well, I told you I was starting to see WanFesu Summer pages pop up around the net, and so I shall start putting them up here for you guys. First up, we have Kotobukiya offering up a couple of exclusives and some other mundane shit that no one cares about. The exclusives on the other hand are nice, be there only two of them. The first of the two is the dark skinned repaint of Sela-chan that sold so well. She's limited to only 300 pieces so you better head by Koto's booth early if you want one. She'll run you 5,800 yen.
Likewise, there's a flame haze version of their Shana-with-Melon-pan figure. A quality piece for any Shana fan, and a steal at only 4,000 yen, and a month earlier than the regular release. Only 300 of those will be at the show. They are also doing a 300 piece run on some Moe-tan trading figures. A three piece (well, two and a duck) set for only 1,500 yen. Not too shabby.
No pictures after the jump, because Koto didn't provide any good shots of the figures. Still, check out the link. It's good stuff.
