It’s been a while since I’ve posted a “New Figure Preorders” post, around 12 months ago I published part #36, *OMFG* Don’t worry though, I did not lose interest in the figure hobby at all. I currently have 9 lovely figures on order.

Ordered figures

Katsuragi Misato

Hooray, a new figure of Misato is a great thing, Rei or Asuka never where my favorites in Neon Genesis Evangelion, they were interesting but really weird. I always was drawn to Misato. This figure of her is dressed in a bikini, but nevertheless she still partially wears her usual uniform. In this attire It might not show the Misato figure of my dreams, but she looks great.

release date – November – 2018

Kuramoto Erika – Mahou Shoujo

I had to get this beautiful Erika figure from Native. What is more important for me than the dynamite body is her pretty face with the enchanting smile. Compared to her official illustration this figure is based on, there are small, but great improvements, the face is so much better and the boobs are less big. Hopefully there won’t be another delay.

release date – October – 2018

Asuna – Undine version

Ah, this blue haired and pointy eared Asuna looks so cool. I like the serious expression and her stunning uniform with the nice colors, it will be my first experience with Emontoys, I have good expectations.

release date – October – 2018

Ashikaga Chachamaru

When ALTER announced their Chachamaru I was so happy and excited, the figure looks great with the expressive golden eyes, furthermore she’s half nude and seductive. It’s not their first fanservice figure, but it is still surprising to see such figures from ALTER.

release date – December – 2018

Nishikino Maki x Yazawa Nico – Valentine Hen version

This is a great two figure set, one I really like. The outfits are pretty and it’s sweet how the figures are connected.
I admit that I’m not the biggest Maki fan, but together with Nico it is a very nice combination.

release date – December – 2018

Takagi-san

I feel quite excited about this one. I developed quite a crush on Takagi-san when Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san was airing, her anime was just wonderful. Phat Company makes this great looking figure of her sitting on a detailed school desk. I just love her sweet, confident and flirty expression.

release date – January – 2019

Sakuya – Onna Kyoushi version

A figure of a sexy teacher? … here is my money. No, seriously this a nice looking figure, she has a beautiful youthful face and is quite attractive in the business dress. Together with the glasses and playful pose the figure should turn out really nice.

release date – April – 2019

Asuna – Swimsuit version

Yes, I ordered another Asuna, I never knew I was a fan of her XD Of course Asuna always has been a pretty character, but really earned my sympathy by the end of Sword Art Online II. I’ve always been a fan of swimsuit figures and this one looks especially nice and detailed, I didn’t mind the exclusive price tag.

release date – March – 2019

Sakurauchi Riko

The Love Live Sunshine figures from With Fans! so far looked quite stunning, Riko is especially nice in my opinion, a pretty girl in school uniform. Her face and expression are so sweet, her hair with the flowing strands is also nice looking.

release date – March – 2019

Interesting figures

Recently I find it quite challenging to place more preorders for 2019, one reason is that I can’t decide between all those beautiful figures, another reason are the terrifying prices of figures, I would like to prevent getting more than 2 figures in the same month. Here I’ve listed figures for 2019 (2018) that I like and like a bit more. Lol deciding is difficult.
 

C.C – Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Seems like Union Creative makes many popular characters from popular animes of the past, I always wanted a figure of C.C. in her attractive straitjacket.

release date – October – 2018

Tomoe – Queen’s Blade

This a quite interesting figure in my eyes, she has a photogenic pose and without a doubt she also has a very nice body. Orchid Seed implemented a variety of different display options and the nice figure measures 29,5 cm.

release date – December – 2018

Narberal Gamma – so bin version

The concept of this figure is really awesome, when I saw that price of her, second thoughts were instantly kicking in, I’m no fan of the character nor do I like the bunny ears that much. Of course it’s still an impressive figure on it’s own.

release date – December – 2018

Kohinata Hikari

I’m a really big fan of Amanchu, it’s a really sweet show about the friendship between Hikari and Teko and character development. Before I would order Hikari though, I would like to know if also a figure of Teko is planned. Beach outfits are great and all, but the Amanchu school uniforms are wonderful, too can’t I have figures with those.

release date – January – 2019

Ade-sugata II

Ahem, normally I’m not interested in bondage girls with sex toys, here things are a little different, since this character is beautiful, perfect brown skin an adorable turtle face and she looks just gorgeous. I would really like to order her but I don’t like these ropes for me it is truly a shame to see such a beautiful figure tied up and what not.

release date – January – 2019

Mimori Hinagiku

I like the cute Miko, that act’s a bit naughty, castoff she is less interesting in my opinion, but the general is very nice.

release date – April – 2019

Kaname Madoka – Magia Record Mahou Shoujo Madoka ☆ Magica Gaiden

I just had to wait several years, to see the cutest standing Kaname Madoka figure to date. She is so enchanting in this adaption, I need her, even though she is sold as limited exclusive.

release date – Summer – 2019

Louise Françoise Le Blanc de la Vallière – Finale Wedding version

Man, a pretty bride figure of my first anime waifu ever and I still hesitate to place my order

release date – March – 2019

Sawara Ayaka

The stunner from the previous Wonfes some months ago, BINDing’s Sawara Ayaka. It was love on first sight, then it turned that she will be scaled 1/4 and cost around 28000 Yen. I’d really had preferred a 1/6 scale, on the positive side she is probably the best detailed 1/4 scaled bunny girl figures ever, I mean she looks totally great, I might order her.

release date – May – 2019

Ochi Ripca

I don’t know about the manufacturer FOTS, but I like the concept of this figure. This prototype looks more like a 3D model, but in the end it should be a figure. She’s been planned to be a big 1/5th scale figure that measures 17 cm.

release date – September – 2018

Vampire – Azur Lane

It has been a while since i’ve seen a figure of a flirty vampire loli, I like it. This cutie is based on the game Azur Lane.

release date – July – 2019

Hello fellow figure collectors, on February the 18th was the annual Wonder Festival Winter event, the first Wonder Festival of 2018. The figure manufacturers exhibited their current projects and planned figures for the future.

I had a very positive impression of this years event, I hope you also liked it. It was a nice mix of quite different figures from different origin. I was really happy about the new Sairenji Haruna from Alter, the charming Takagi san, an 1/6 scaled Rico from Made in Abbys and finally a beautiful figure of Louise Françoise Le Blanc de la Vallière as bride.

I really appreciate the effort of those people, they make the Wonderfestival events accessible for us.

 
On the 30th of July, this years Wonder Festival [Summer] was held, all the different manufacturers came together to present their upcoming figures and prototypes. Often it’s an exciting day for me, this year it was a bit less enjoyable.

Normally the mix of painted and grey prototypes and Illustrations that were chosen for figure adaptions make wonfes enjoyable for figure collectors, but this time nearly everything shown was a grey prototype, I really expected to see some prototypes from the last Wonder Festival being painted. Fate Go and Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata ♭ -seemed a bit hyped. There were of course some nice figure prototypes I will show you my favorites here in my small summary.

Ashikaga Chachamaru – Soukou Akki Muramasa

This Chachamaru was my biggest joy to see at the Wonderfestival, she is so beautiful, her expression with her gaze over the shoulder and the general articulation are just great.

Lala Satalin Deviluke  – Onepiece Style – To LOVEru Darkness

Haha that is a hilarious pose for this happy Lala figure ❤

Konjiki no Yami – To LOVEru Darkness

Katou Megumi – Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata ♭ – Dress Ver.

Iowa – Half Damage Ver. – Kantai Collection

Oh something was painted on this rather monochrome event ahahaha. I’m not a real Iowa fan, but she looks interesting and I really like her legs.

Kouhai-chan – Getsuyoubi no Tawawa

Louise Françoise Le Blanc de la Vallière – Finale Wedding Ver. – Zero no Tsukaima

Kyahhh! After the last season of ZnT I was hoping that another figure of Louise or even her friends would be made,but my hopes were crushed bitterly. Now after 5! years after Zero no Tsukaima F, I will get a bride figure of my first anime waifu ❤❤❤! that actually sounds too good to be true.

Kasumi – Renewal – Dead or Alive 5 Last Round

I actually always liked the old Kasumi from Max Factory, but had the impression that it could be better, so this “Renewal” announcement makes me curious.

In the year I liked the varietyon the Kotobukiya booth

 Nishizumi Miho – Girls und Panzer der Film

Jabami Yumeko – Kakegurui

Kani Nayuta – Imouto sae Ireba Ii.

 Morikubo Nono – iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls

Izumi Sagiri – Eromanga Sensei

You don’t see figures like that very often I think the girl with the watergun is truly enchantïng ❤

Tamaki Ako – Netoge no Yome wa Onna no Ko Janai to Omotta?  

Awww it’s Ako ❤❤❤
I would like to have a figure of the cute heroine of Netoge. This figure looks already quite promising and she is so cute.

Ooyodo – Kantai Collection

Kancolle figures aren’t as popular as in previous years, but they are still being made. I like Ooyodo and it is nice to see her painted, she looks just great and just enchanting. Apparently this figure doesn’t heavily rely on fanservice, it’s mainly a good design.

Original Character –  Happoubi Jin

I liked the butterfly lady from FLARE, the more realistic character design makes it quite interesting and the overall look is also appealing.

Saber – Okita Souji – Fate/Grand Order

I tried my.best to ignore everything labeled Fate GO but this cute adaption of Saber is just right up my alley. Some months ago I already saw the beautiful garage kit and so the news of it getting a Pvc figure adaption makes me extremely happy.

Original Character – Yabu Sudare Haji na Maid-san – Skytube Premium

This commando maid figure is quite interesting with a decent paintjob it will be hard to resist.

Sawamura Spencer Eriri – Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata ♭

Original Character – Skytube Premium – Sameshima Urara

Yes, please!

Original Character – I.V.E – White Elf

Original Character – I.V.E – Laura Mischief

Tsukikawa Saki – Mashumaro☆Imouto☆Succubus☆ 

Kuramoto Erika – Mahou Shoujo

Erika is finally painted and I was very surprised how nice she turned out, just look at her beautiful face, I like the half naked angel.

Original Character – Injection Time! Sakurako

I remember that I’ve been waiting for this figure to get painted since 5 damn years, would someone please take the time to paint this precious figure for the next Wonderfestival already.

Original Character – Saito Masatsugu

I really like that idea, the character is cute and even though it’s a nude figure, it’s not a naughty one, you even get a tripod with camera.

Original Character – Klone

I also liked this funny figure, cheerfully swinging around her whip. I think the sadistic but also happy expression gives her something specïal. The figures nice body also looks interesting, she ïs a DFC character with some seriously nicely endowed hips

Wagaya No Liliana-san – Liliana

I this high kick pose is cool Hopefully this Liliana won’t be as glossy as her other figures so far.

Non Virgin – Suguri Hiromi – Bunny Girl

While I really appreciate the style of Oda Non and the high level of craftsmanship, I don’t need the additionally lewdness with these rings and stuff XD Ahahaha but there will be more hot ladies in this lewd lineup.

Kuroinu ~Kedakaki Seijo wa Hakudaku ni Somaru~ – Olga Discordia

Next to that BINDing selected a few great looking illustrations to adapt into figures, with their level of qualïty I have high expectations of these projects. Can I expect to see a figure of the blonde Dark Elf in the future, too?

Original Character – Morning

Original Character – necömi

Original Character – Warabino Matsuri 

I feel quite interested in this one ❤

 
That’s all folks, this Wonderfestival 2017 Summer didn’t make me as happy as previous events, it still was nice to see a few interesting things. I feel a bit sad about the lack of Granblue Fantasy, I would have been so happy about a Lyria figure, I also would have liked to see a figure of Lailah (Tales of Zestiria the X).I don’t like that there were so many things from that hyped Fate Go, or other overly popular things, I would have prefered a bït more variety from the manufacturers. The nagging won’t stop here yet, I also expected to see some of the grey prototypes from the previous wonfes painted, did the Summer Wonderfestival came so surprisingly for the manufacturers?

How was your impression from the event?
Did you feel satisfied with everything and also saw some things you want?

In the end I would say that a limited number of must haves is good, considering the figure prices nowadays.

Sonico – Office Lady ver.

Sonico again, it’s nice that the prototype got painted, she turned out so good.

Original Character – Hanasaki Marika

Ahhh she is so sexy, I love this figure, her pose and the beautiful butt and wow these thighs. Anyway I would be happy to preorder her soon.

Original Character – Secret Stage- Hoshizaki Yua 

So this pretty figure also seems to be in the final round.

Kuramoto Erika – Mahou Shoujo

I always regretted that I passed on the figure of Suzuhara Misae, I like how Erika looks so far and curious about how she will look colored.

Original Character – Injection Time! Sakurako

It was displayed again, but nothing changed, so I would assume that the prototype is finished, I really hope it will be painted for the next event.

Original Character – Dracula-chan

I approve, go ahead with Dracula chan.

Original Character – Cle Masahiro

I really like this figure, how happy she looks in her red fetish attire. The blonde hair gives her an ojou sama atmosphere. This figure actually skipped the gray prototype stage and appears nearly ready for production.

Original Character – Skytube – “Oppai no Egakikata” Oomune Hazumi

I already liked her illustration and as figure she also looks quite lovely, her face is so cute and she has a nice busom.

Original Character – Skytube – Alice

This Alice is also quite enchanting

Original Character – Skytube – Nekoyanagi Momo

No comment Alphamax.

Original Character – Skytube Premium – Yabu Sudare Haji na Maid-san

I’d never say no to another pretty maid figure

Original Character – Skytube Premium – T2 Art☆Girls – Kinren

Alphamax also make less naughty figures… sometimes

Original Character – Non Virgin Bunny Girl

figures based on Oda Non character design always is interesting because of the slightly more realistic look. While I think the nipple clamps are tasteless, the lady still looks nice.

Tsukikawa Saki – Mashumaro☆Imouto☆Succubus☆

The chubby girl is so cute, when they are able to paint her lips nicely this figure should turn out really sweet and ecchi.

So this sums up my positive impressions of the Wonder Festival 2017 [Winter], also the ero figures look very promising and I’m really looking forward to a few. I hope the painted figures will be up for preorders soon and that the gray prototypes will be painted next time, also Native, please finish up the Injection Time! Sakurako prototype, please ^^. The pictures were borrowed from akiba weekend, Akibaphotography, Cut A News and moeyo.
Thank you for the hard work otherwise such a post wouldn’t be possible.
