Hi folks, recently it was anniversary of my blog, indeed another year passed. The idea of Wieselhead.de was born 2010 and it went online on May 15th. I really run this since six years. In the last 12 months I’ve reviewed 16 figures, apparently I like my variety of swimsuit figures.

I simply write reviews about my recently purchased figures, wieselhead.de is my baby and taking pictures, writing text, in the end adding another review fills me with joy and also pride.

What I really noticed this year is that I managed writing and structuring reviews much faster.

Staying active and dedicate your freetime to something for such a long period is a positive thing, still with more and more figure blogs shutting down activity, I start to feel lonely, I can count the number of remaining and active blogs with two hands, it was so lively back then.

My activity decreased a little since some time as well. I simply ordered less figures compared to previous years. Partially of lacking interesting material, insanely high prices also play a big role. An additional reason is that my interest shifted more in the doll territory.

Yeah the dolls, a few people are upset about Dollfie Dream and the likes. but I really began to like this hobby a lot. In the first place I started with fashion dolls for photography reasons. I’m still a rookie at dollphotography, it’s really difficult to get everything right. But that also makes it very interesting because it’s a real challenge where I can slowly learn to improve. Also just taking care of pretty fashion dollls and spoiling them with new stuff is surprisingly fun as well.

Taking care of my now 3 Dolls , Lady Mirai (SmartDoll), Rio (DDS) and Chiyoda (DDdy) distracts my usual worries about the blogsphere. I’m feeling less bitter about certain things now.

The stats of Wieselhead.de stayed as they always were, which is actually hilarious. I really suck at advertising my content, it always made me feel strangely uncomfortable. Which is not beneficial for a ambitious hobby photographer in times of omnipresent social media. I will never win a popularity award, but actually I feel confident in my figure photography.

I still appreciate bishoujo figures and figure photography a lot in general and still have as much fun with the actual process as when I started. Figures became surprisingly popular more as when I started the blog. These days many people worldwide take figure pictures, less for the purpose to put them into reviews, the obvious trend is a more artistic approach on figure photography, focusing on creating the one or a handful of nice and elaborate shots.

I always had some doubts about this certain step, but this year I started a facebook page for my blog, I quickly noticed that I, if at all should have done it much earlier, now it’s too late and apparently won’t result in a bigger audience. I’m also a little clueless about what to post XD.

Aside from blogging, I put my focus on flickr, it’s a very nice platform for figure and fashion doll photography. I also joined Instagram, it’s a fun place to look for and show pictures in a slightly different way. Although I stopped uploading pictures on mfc, it always gave me more grieve than anything else and just brings out the worst emotions in me ૮( ᵒ̌▱๋ᵒ̌ )ა.

Anyway I genuinely enjoy this photography thing. After all this time, I can’t think of a better hobby, oh well maybe gardening comes as 2nd in my case. I will continue with Wieselhead.de in the future, maybe I will invest in a new theme or create a second, only Dollfie related blog.

I won’t forget to thank my audience, thx for all your support, be it comments, feedback or just looking at the content. Thank you for staying with me, even with less frequent posts.

Greetings and applause to all still active bloggers out there.

Hi fellow figure collectors, a few days ago the first Wonderfestival of 2016 happened.

The Wonderfestival 2016 [Winter], it’s a main event for figure manufacturers to showcase their upcoming and planned figures. Illustrations, early prototypes and colored samples are shown at the several booths. Even though I’ve never been there in person, it’s always a highlight for me. In this post I will feature everything that caught my interest, normal and ecchi figures. I follow Wonfes since some years now, figures got so elaborate over the years.

My personal list of interest consist of 45 items, prototypes and illustrations included.

SoniAni: Super Sonico The Animation – Sonico – Racing ver.

I desired and slightly expected to see this wonderful Sonico painted already, apparently I will have to wait a few more months. I like everything about this sweetly smiling, curvy girl.

Top o Nerae 2! – Lal’C Mellk Mal

Mal got painted and looks really good, it’s been a little longer when I watched the anime, but I like the figures design a lot.

Sculptor: Fio

iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Kanzaki Ranko

Whew! I really like her make up in this figure adaption, also a lovely purple dress.

Sculptor: YOSHI

Hatsune Miku -Project Diva- F 2nd

Miku figures don’t often strike my interest, but I like this one. Vibrant colors, a super shiny outfit, a cute face … and somehow her armpit looks great.

Sculptor: Grizzry Panda
Scale: 1/7
Releases: 2016

Kantai Collection ~Kan Colle~ – Kouwan Seiki

*sob* I expected her to be painted after being introduced months ago, only the eyes received paint. Aside from that she is a super cute Abyssal girl, I can’t wait to see her with the pale skin.

Sculptor: Akimof
Scale: 1/8

Dagashi Kashi – Shidare Hotaru

This was approximately planned in advance, it’s pretty rare to see characters of the current anime season on Wonfes. I find Hotaru to be an enchanting kind of character, I love her dress, her shoes, also her proportions ;D And these vicious eyes, even though she is a friendly girl.

Sculptor: Frex

IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Tada Riina

Before I watched Cinderella Girls, I wasn’t too interested in these Idol figures. The great anime made me a little crazy and now I really want a few of my favorites as figures ^^. One of them is definetely Riina. She looks so cool and will also have a guitar. Her close friend Miku already was listed in the shops…

Sculptor: Missile
Scale: 1/8

Fate/Hollow Ataraxia – Saber Alter – Dress ver.

That is another stunning alternative design of the Saber character, I like her dark dress the blue gradient really brings out a menacing atmosphere and these angry eyes are great.

Sculptor: Nobuta
Scale: 1/7

Love Live! School Idol Festival – Koizumi Hanayo

Hanayo looks so adorable as marine Idol, so cute ;D I like the elaborate uniform and her innocent smile. On second thought it appears a little childish and lacks megane.

Sculptor: Inagaki Hiroshi
Scale: 1/7

Yosuga no Sora – Kasugano Sora – Bunny Style

Considering the illustration, this figure is based on, Bunny Sora will be a quite attractive figure.

Sculptor: Hashimoto Ryou
Scale: 1/7
Releases: 2016

Kekkai Sensen – Leonard Watch – Sonic Onsoku Saru

I liked the anime, still I probably did not understand half of what was going on haha. A male figure in 1/7 scale is something new. I liked Leonardo’s outfit in the ending animation.

Sculptor: Nightow Yasuhiro
Scale: 1/7

Kantai Collection ~Kan Colle~ – Kongou

The queen of engrish!!! Phat really made an impressive figure of fast battleship Kongou, this is seriously awesome. The figure has nice details and will be even scaled 1/7 how cool is that!

Sculptor: Abe Koudai

Granblue Fantasy – Io – Manatsu no Chiisana Lady

I think this figure is extremely enchanting, the girl holding a sunflower in a dynamic pose while wearing this adorable expression on her face is a great idea for a figure.

Sculptor: Itandi
Scale: 1/7

Granblue Fantasy – Yueru – Chitose o Sagasusha

Phat Company really appears to be on a good run, this other Granblue Fantasy figure, is apparently the most elaborate and challenging figure of the Wonfes 2016 Winter. A lot is going on, flying strands, swords and fireballs, additionally the character is very atrractive, too. Alltogether it looks really awesome.

iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Moroboshi Kira

Dimension W – Yurizaki Mira

Mira is such an adorable humanoid robot, the main character should really treat her better. …don’t ask me why the figure focuses on the characters butt, but I guess I don’t mind it.

Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata – Katou Megumi

Original Character – Super Pochaco

The Pochako fandom still remains to be a mistery for me… Here she finally wears some actually cute clothes and surprisingly the girl looks quite sweet.  Maybe a little less belly would be appreciated, but I’m sure this will be a popular figure.

 Original Character – Character’s Selection – Succubus-san

*Kyahhh!* Seeing this marvelous Succubus – san was a real surprise this Wonfes. This figure is so beautiful (/∇＼*)｡o○♡. The cute face and attractive soft body are totally convincing for me.

Senran Kagura NewWave G-Burst – Ikaruga – Race Queen

Two reasons make this figure a nearly fix must have for me, Ikaruga is the prettiest Senran Kagura girl in my eyes and the sculptor in charge is Osiris, who really knows how to make curvy girls look stunning.

Sculptor: Osiris

Sengoku Bushouki Muramasa – Toudou Takatora

A flirty  buxom bunny costume warrior figure.

Aria – Aria Pokoteng – Mizunashi Akari

I guess there is another Aria anime season in the making … I like Aria a lot, it has always been something special for me. Ok the end made me cry my eyes out, but thats another story. I’m already happy about a Akari figure, thought it would be cool to have an Alicia, too.

Sculptor: Amano Kozue

Saya no Uta – Saya

Finally a figure of Saya, it’s a beautiful characterdesign, afterall.

Sculptor: unknown

Houkago no Pleiades – Aoi & Subaru – Swimsuit ver.

Well, it’s obvious that the both of them look super cute and pretty. Apparently the figures of Aoi and Subaru can be ordered seperately, but with both you will be able to display them like this. I like the combination of two characters, when they can be connected this closely.

Sculptor: Arakawa Takuhiro

Sonico

Sonico figures are probably my biggest weakness as figure collector. I like what the still unknown sculptor did. She turned out quite buxom considering Sonico’s official measurements, awww these amazing thighs. I also like the priceless facial expression, Sonico tied up with the phone is just too funny and it partially turns me on.

Parsley – Original Character

Last times illustration was turned into a beautiful prototype. Her expression is nice and her boobs are nicely shaped. It’s Native, don’t mind her swordskills ahahaha. Hmmm I kinda want that figure.

Mahou Shoujo – Kuramoto Erika

Erika also improved when turned into 3D, her boobs got smaller (no kidding!) and her facial expression totally got more appealing. I’m interested in this figure now.

Original Character – Chuunyuu! Sakurako-san

It’s still not painted *AHHH!* … but it seems as if her prototype sculpting was finished. Please paint this figure before next Wonfes, it would make me so happy.

Sculptor: Brown Mansai

Original Character – Tabby-san

A more innocent ecchi figure by Native, or to be accurate the manufacturer is Peach and Native acts as distributor. It’s cute, I like the petite maid.

Sculptor: Patton

Original Character – Yuuki Hagure

Another prototype based on a illustration from a previous Wonfes. And again it looks much better in 3D. The character has a beautiful, expressive face and detailed clothes.
