Wonder Festivala 2010 Summer (Alter, GSC, Max)
You see the title and you know what this means!
Yes, today is Wonder Festival yet again in Japan and in this post, I'll be focusing on Alter, Max Factory and Good Smile Company (as well, as a few FREEing, Phat Company and an Alpha x Omega) so, find out some (not all) interesting showcases for these companies below.

I'll be starting with Nendos and figmas first :D
So here, I'll be starting with my beloved Vocaloid, Miku, hahaha, it was recently revealed that GSC is working on collab on another Miku project and it looked like a Nendo, and it is, I dunno if the 2nd and 3rd pics are the same but the first one's version is said to be Paw Laboratory version, I dunno if it's a song or what, haven't been getting proper dose of Miku lately due to work -_-
Moving on, we see some Nendos from the Disappearance Haruhi movie last January (was it?) It's the alternative Haruhi and the human Yuki, Haruhi's looking really cute :p
FREEing is also expanding their collab with GSC Nendos, the QB nendos, by showing us a colored Tomoe and a prototype of the big mama, Cattleya and her son Rana.
Other notable nendos for me would be an FA version of Saber in Casual clothes, my favorite online game, Ragnarok's Arch Bishop job with a mini poring to match :D, my good friend's favorite trap Hideyoshi, Steins' Gate's Marise Kurisu (the one I posted before from Koto which had the same artist as huke) and the ever cute Noumi from Little busters!
There was also a colored Dead Master Nendo already but I forgot to save the pic, might as well view it in those links above XD As for some Puchis, we also get to see BRS and DM's respective Nendo Puchis as well as that of K-On! Puchi set, there's a lot of them but I only snagged three (Azusa included of course) :p
Now going on to figmas, I'll update some from Wonder Fest winter first...
After around 6 months, we now see KOS-MOS version 4 colored priced 4800 yen with a Jan 2011 release. Her accessories are just win and really really nice.
Another batch of updates will be for the Dragon Knight line, Wing Knight is now shown with his Dark Wing cape accessory, really looking good. Both are priced for 3200yen with a release of November 2010 for Dragon Knight and December 2010 for Wing Knight.
It seems Max is all the way completing the Nanoha StrikerS figmas as now we see the least loved Lightning kids, Erio and Caro. Well, here's me hoping for them to actually complete the characters including Gin-nee :p
As for some other figmas. Summer Wars figmas, Danny Choo's mascot, Mikoto Misaka, Black Gold Saw, more Se Kirara characters and many more, you know, the usual, it's figma display spam XD
Now, to my main interest, scaled figures. I'll be going random just going to mention the manufacturers along the way.
First is that Alter's still on the go with Nanoha series as this time, while Fate Phantom Minds is in production, we are shown another Fate wearing her casual outfit as shown in the end of The Movie 1st as well as a picture of Vivio's normal appearance based this time from the manga Nanoha ViVid.
And speaking of Nanoha, FREEing has a shot of their featuring both Nanoha and Fate in a pose that is perfect for a diorama, they are actually fighting each other in this rendition, only Nanoha is colored for now, but looking really sweet.
Next up will be Mikus again, I dunno if the first one from GSC is nendo or not but then again it's labeled Mikumix(?) Anyway, Max has placed the release for Tony Taka Miku, which will be on January 2011. The rumored GK only Append and Love is War versions were also put in display under Max and GSC respectively, hoping to see these two mass-produced for the market soon :D
Speaking of Miku, the new vocaloid, Lily, has an upcoming figure as well (talk about fast) and this one's by Phat! Company. Well, I don't like her appearance that much, maybe I just need more getting used to with Lily but the figure's looking well.
Going back to GSC and Fate Stay Night, the Saber Alter set in scale with Saber Lily Avalon and Saber Excalibur is now also colored and IMO the best Saber Alter to date, and instant get for me. The UBW movie Rin, however, is still on prototype stages but is seen this time with her base and a few swords at the back, so, I'm guessing there's an Archer to pair up with her coming as well.
Anyway, I've seen her previews in the scans of the latest HJ mag and she's really looking beautiful especially now that she's on display, here's Alpha x Omega's Eas from Fresh Pretty Cure! Definitely in my book of gets.
Alter never seizes to amaze me as two particular prototypes were totally eyecatching. One being Dizzy from Guilty Gear series, now based from the original art instead of that weird looking QG rendition. Next is Houmei from Shining Wind, though, I didn't really like the character that much, she is indeed looking good based on prototype and Alter rarely fails to make these promising figures a reality.
Though I haven't watched the anime yet, here's GSC shout for the fans, and really weird looking prototypes for some Angel Beats characters.
Leaving with the rest of Alter, we are shown a colored version of Yuri from Tales of Vesperia from the Altair line. More males is a scaled figure of Hideyoshi as well and lastly to complete the K-On! Ritsu is now shown on full color, the drumset is just WOW!
Well, continuing for GSC, here's 1/8 Black Gold Saw anime version, well, I'm still hesitant if I want this but the face's off for me, I just know BGS is much MUCH prettier than that.
Last but not least for GSC would be scaled figures of Yugi-Oh's Red Eyes Black Dragon and Blue Eyes White Dragon but heck, each one of these babies cost 70000 freaking yen, and even though I want to get the Red Eyes, it's just abnormally hopeless given that price :))
Well that's it, hopefully, I can bring out some stuff for Koto and MegaHouse at least within the week. :D
