Wonder Festival 2017 [Summer]

 
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.
