Last month’s new shipment of figures arrived a while back, but I haven’t had the chance to add them to the site yet.
Taking into account all the excellent coverage Wonder Festival 2010 Summer has been getting, I’ll only name a few top picks from my favorite manufacturers.
ALTER
K-ON! Tainaka Ritsu [1/8 Scale]
The final scaled K-ON! figure by ALTER to complete the set. They did an excellent job of adapting the K-ON! characters into figures, especially with the precise details on all their instruments.

I thought the figma version would be a bit larger. Now I’m slightly disappointed.
Seems like a lot of figmas are around the same size though. This was my first one so I was caught off-guard.
Considering that there are currently four figmas out just of Saber, let’s take a look at them.
The Reimu Hakurei figma by Max Factory is the best figma that I’ve seen to date. Without the clear supporting arm behind her in the picture, she could pass as a scaled PVC figure.
Drössel figma is finally being re-released sometime October 2009 for 3,200 yen by Max Factory. Very tempted to get one for myself due to Kodomut’s constant photos of her along with the glowing eyes mod.
Hopefully I’ll be able to stock some for Figure Haven, but it’ll be after the release in Japan due to licensing constraints. Will post when it’s available.
