Being a slight remold from the excellent Distant Avalon release of Saber Lily, this one comes in an armorless fashion, wearing heels, having a different facial expression and many more to mention; the said remold has indeed blasted into sky high prices in the past few years and has definitely been a true grail for some collectors, but luckily you can get it again and the online release will be scheduled on the last month of the year yet again for 9000 yen. Again, she can ordered via GSC's online shop for international customers like me. XD

Image and info from GSC's product page.

Kiritsugu is scheduled for a December release as well for a slightly higher price point of 7200 yen.

While still retaining the ability to wield Excalibur on her right hand, this refined version has been adjusted from the initial mold; having a more lively and more natural hair and a better face than the one 4 years ago, this is definitely a nice change.

Scheduled for a December release, this refined king of knights can be yours for 5400 yen.

As seen from the images above, he comes with his usual lifeless face, a serious face and lastly, his weird smiling face (IMO Kiritsugu looks weird when he smiles XD)

Kiritsugu is set for a September release for 3800 yen. I always find him to be a really cool guy from the Fate series and liked his design ever since I saw his Max Factory scaled figure from years ago; so, even if I had disposed all of my Fate series figures, I'm definitely picking him up. Images and info from GSC's page.

Caster Extra is scheduled for an August resale and still priced at 7,800 yen. Image and info from GSC's product page.

This dashing Saber comes dashing to retail stores on May 2012 for 13800 yen. Images and info from GSC's product page.

The 2-pack nendo is scheduled for a May release for 6000 yen; as part of the cheerful japan releases, 2000 yen will be donated to reliefs for the tsunami victims many months ago. Orders can be made starting today until December 28. Images and info from GSC product page.

Supposedly getting one but still hesitating right now due to April being one hell of a month that some needs to carry on to May. Anyway, Rin is set for a May 2011 release for 8800 yen tax inclusive. More pics can be seen at GSC's page.

As stated in GSC's page for Saber Alter. She comes along with the Vortigern, said be a sword powered from all the dark energy from Saber Alter's body. And it looks really wicked especially if I think shot with proper background and good lighting, this will strike really menacing.

If you noticed from the official pic above, you'd notice that she doesn't have her visor on and yeah, that's good. I just love Saber Alter's eyes, and thankfully, the visor can be removed.

The next volume after the ones above would be Kamen Rider Stronger, which will be based on Ken's work. Looking good and the rendition looks like it's some work like how Ichigo, Nigo and V3 transpired to how the look on THE FIRST and THE NEXT movies. This sure is an instant get for me. :D

Next one is a colored preview of SIC Kiwami Tamashii's Den-O Sword Form, I don't really collect Kiwamis but they're obviously more posable and really cheaper (a lot smaller as well) compared to normal SICs.

Takanashi Yomi - Dead Master

Also confirmed for the anime is the appearance of Black Gold Saw and one other unnamed character which was featured in BRS Visual Works 2. Anyway, to the official website to find out what's new with the upcoming OVA of Black Rock Shooter.

Okay, unlike the past Wonder Fest blog I did, I'd take this time by series. So first we drive into Fate series where we recently got an announcement of a figma Rider and also, this time WF showcases Mordred (Red Saber/Saber Extra) with her weapon. But to the surprising extent, we now get to see a fully colored Saber Alter figma, last hinted 2 years ago when Saber Lily's figma was released. And finally, to many people I know, we get to see a a prototype of Archer's figma, yes! Archer! Rejoice Archer fans! Below are previews of Saber Alter and Archer:

Ridiculously as it may sound, but with some twist of fate, Max Factory got the license to do figmas for a particular Kamen Rider series, which is Dragon Knight, the ever so known western adaptation of the 3rd heisei series, Kamen Rider Ryuki, and though, the license is for Dragon Knight, the suits really have no whatever difference from Ryuki, so you can count them as Ryuki products, starting with figmas of Dragon Knight (Ryuki) and Wing Knight (Knight)

Also a worthy note would be the milking of Senjougahara from Bakemonogatari from different companies, the images below would be GSC's 1/8 scale fig and of course a teaser of the figma.

And finally for my series sums, we go to Black Rock Shooter's universe. I've been wishing for a Dead Master figure ever since BRS's first fig was announced and look what Max and GSC do? Bombard me with 4 new DM figs, really nice huh? Anyway, we get to see a colored nendo of BRS as well as a peek of DM's Nendo, figma also showcases colored products for the two characters.

Alter is now starting their Altair line, a figure line for large scaled male figures similar to MegaHouse's G.E.M. line. I dunno who the other one is but we also get a preview of Tales of Vesperia characters for this line. ^^ Good news to Tales fans and those who like male figs.

So for the last bunch of figmas, a little surpising but definitely nice. A figma of KOS-MOS in her version 4 appearance and dun dun dunnnn, Michael Jackson! YES, MJ! IN HIS THRILLER LOOK TOO!

For the Nendos, I really don't know most of them since I only know Feena and the other one which would be a character from Strike Witches. Also, it is revealed that the 100th Nendoroid is classic company character Mickey Mouse! XD Also, previews for Touho's Nendo Puchi set.

Finally going to large figures. Here are Alter's remaining line ups, notable for me would be Koromo from Saki and Clalaclan's completed painted protype:
