Wonder Festival 2014 Winter - GSC Fairy Tail

There are plenty of upcoming new figures from Good Smile Company, but what has really gotten the best of my attention are the new prototypes and announcement with regards to their 1/7th scale Fairy Tail figures. It's has been quite a while since they released 1/7th scale Lucy Heartfilia - their first Fairy Tail scaled figure and we haven't got any news to follow up on this line since then. But during last week's Wonder Festival 2014 Winter, we got not one... not two... but three announcements of Fairy Tail scaled figures from GSC.

They are going to release the first four main characters from the series. Yes, that's right, we will be getting Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet. Isn't that a wonderful news to us Fairy Tail fans? GSC seems to be going along the returning popularity of the anime series which will resume by April 2014.

Wonder Festival 2014 Winter - POP

Wonder Festival 2014 Winter has wrapped up last Sunday, 9th of February 2014, and there tons of new upcoming great figures for us from various figure manufacturers like Good Smile Company, Kotobukiya, Alter, MegaHouse, etc. But for the usual MegaHouse's POPs, there isn't much to see aside from some updates of the previously showcased during the MegaHobby EXPO 2013 Autumn and Jump Festa 2014 events. That was expected actually since they usually show us their big guns during MegaHobby EXPOs. But these updates though small, are enough to get us excited, specially to those who are waiting for the release of these new POPs. Let's check out these updates.

At Last, GSC's Lucy Heartfilia in Full Color

At last, I've been waiting ages for this. The first Fairy Tail character to be produced by Good Smile Company is now revealed in fully colored prototype during the recently held Wonder Festival 2013 Winter. And all I can say is.... it's incredibly awesome!

The eyes are so alive. Cool colors with yellow hair, white dress with blue trims and the skin tone is perfect. It's really is a sight for sore eyes. We have seen this great sculpt earlier during the Wonder Festival 2012 Summer and now we are looking at a completed and totally high class figure that can only be produced by none other than Good Smile Company. I really am excited to get my hands on it but no price and release date announced yet. I hope preorders will start soon.

It's really great that GSC picked up the Fairy Tail license and I hope they will continue with more character figure from the series. I'm thinking Juvia, Mirajane, Cana or Erza with all those elegant equipment/outfits. Please GSC, please!

Wonder Festival 2013 Winter - POP

One of the biggest events for anime figure industry was held last Sunday, 10th of February 2013 at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition, Chiba City in Japan. As usual, fans of MegaHouse's POP was waiting for new product prototype unveiling, but unfortunately, there were no new surprises aside from those previously announced but now colored prototypes.

It must be expected I suppose, since it was just less than two months ago when MegaHouse revealed these new prototypes during the Jump Festa 2013 event. So let's just check out what POPs MegaHouse have brought to the event.

Its been more than a week now since the Wonder Festival Summer 2012, but these images of the figures that we're presented by MegaHouse still lingers on my head. I used to follow only certain figure product lines but most MegaHouse products always amazes me. And during the Wonder Festival Summer 2012 event, MegaHouse has just announced some new figures of characters that I am familiar with. I still wanted to resist them, but who knows, I might end up getting them all.

Yesterday, Wonder Festival 2012 Summer was held at Chiba, Japan, and Megahouse as well as other figure manufacturers came there to showcase their upcoming One Piece products. Of course Megahouse brings their popular Portrait of Pirates product line to display and we get to see the previously announced figures (during the Megahobby EXPO Spring 2012), now in their fully completed and painted form.
