Insert slowpoke.jpg. I kept up with most of the updates surrounding Wonder Festival this summer 2010, but really, I was hoping there would be nothing that caught my eye. By that I mean the kind that shout “MUST HAVE!”. Well, wishful thinking. Luckily it was only really one figure, since the others were announced long ago, or already on preorder. No, Nendoroid Ikaros above (from Sora no Otoshimono) is not one of them. I just felt she made a good image to start with.

It may say, “Volks”, but actually since only one figure really interested me, I suppose it is not right to say “Volks”. This is the last of the figures and manufacturers that made any kind of impression on me. Coupled with my possible purchase of a Volks’ Dollfie Dream it seems quite likely that I am not going to order any more figures (including this one) for the entire year…if ever again. My passion is just not in it anymore. Maybe figures of my 2D harem, but no further.

In this next look at Wonfes I will like to point to Kotobukiya, a figure manufacturer which many probably know by now that I am no longer bothering with, and Orchid Seed, that ecchi-based figure company that seems to consistently pump out more than it can actually produce. There are times when the best laid plans of mice and men fall short, and these two companies have demonstrated that amply in the realm of figure production.

Considering that both Max Factory and Good Smile Company (hereafter abbreviated as GSC) are into their Figma and Nendoroid lines of figures respectively nowadays, I am quite surprised that I even have anything to talk about for them. Since I am not really into either type, this post will be very short.

Originally I had wanted to come up with just one post for all of Wonder Festival’s releases, considering that Lelouch is too busy with schoolwork and life to be able to post anything here for a while, along with the reason that I am no longer as into figure collecting as before. But for some odd reason the figure manufacturers decided to “Boys/Girls, Be Ambitious” and there were quite a few releases I wanted to talk about. Here is the first look with my top figure manufacturer of all time, Alter.
