The Wonder Festival 2010 Winter exclusives that I had pre-ordered months ago finally arrived in the mail today.

They were as follows:

• Nendoroid Mio & Ritsu Live Stage Version [K-ON!]
• Nendoroid Snow Miku
• Figma Hirasawa Ui School Uniform Version [K-ON!]
• Saber Lily ~Golden Caliburn~ by GSC

It has been quite the wait with the multiple delays on Saber Lily. The Mio & Ritsu box is actually really large and heavy for two nendoroids, mostly due to the curtain stage that it comes with (you can see it behind the nendos).

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.

Instead, I have been working on porting the Figure Haven site to a different (and better) e-commerce platform while adding in some improvements at the same time. This should be completed in at most a few weeks, and I will be adding our newest figures first thing.

The words are a bit hard to make out in the photo, but if you recognize the boxes, then you can guess which figures they are.

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.

Good Smile Company

Fate/stay night: Saber Alter ~Iron Hammer of the Terrible King Vortigern~ [1/7 Scale]

I’m not really a big fan of Saber Alter, but I’ll be getting this to display with my Saber Lily ~Distant Avalon~. The two opposites (white and black) will form a superb contrast.

Fate/stay night ~Unlimited Blade Works~: Tohsaka Rin [1/7 Scale]

Since I’m a fan of Fate/stay night, getting this is a given. She looks to be the best Tohsaka Rin figure to date, especially with the intricate work on the hair. With GSC’s track record, I have no doubt she’ll look amazing in her finished form.

I’m still waiting for the Unlimited Blade Works movie to be released on Blu-ray.

Bakemonogatari: Sengoku Nadeko [1/8 Scale]

Manufacturers keep innovating on the figure bases nowadays, and this is one of the best ones yet. Using the base to make it seem as if Nadeko is standing in water – ingenious.

Angel Beats! Nakamura Yuri [1/8 Scale]

I’m thrilled that GSC decided to make figures for Angel Beats!

Angel Beats! Tenshi [1/8 Scale]

I would have preferred a version of Tenshi/Kanade where she was using Hand Sonic, and maybe even with her angel wings out. Now that would be epic.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Blue-Eyes White Dragon

What a surprise! I did not expect GSC to make Yu-Gi-Oh! figures. It almost looks to be made of metal.

I used to competitively play Yu-Gi-Oh! when it first came out, so this brings back memories. Now around half the cards in my deck are banned from tournament play for being too overpowered.

Max Factory

Miku Hatsune (Tony Taka version) [1/7 Scale]

The best looking Miku figure I have ever seen. I didn’t particularly like Max Factory’s first Miku figure, but this Tony Taka version is amazing. The dynamic pose paired with the way her hair goes from solid color to translucent has me sold on purchasing one.

Kotobukiya

Valkyria Chronicles: Alicia Melchiott [1/8 Scale]

It’s about time someone made a good Alicia figure. Pair her up with ALTER’s Selvaria figure for maximum effect.

Figma

Suzumiya Haruhi (Disappearance version) [Max Factory]

Haruhi with long hair is simply the best.

Nendoroids

Fate/stay night: Saber (Plain clothes version) [Good Smile Company]

Another Saber nendo! Now you’ll be able to display the trifecta: plain clothes, armored, and lily versions.

Ragnarok Online: Arch Bishop [Good Smile Company]

Ragnarok Online sure brings back memories of high school. I didn’t even know that there was an Arch Bishop class now…

Hayate no Gotoku: Katsuragi Hinagiku [Max Factory]

Max Factory following GSC into the lucrative nendoroid business is to be expected. I wouldn’t be surprised to see ALTER and Kotobukiya follow suit.

This is only a small selection of the figures displayed at WonFes 2010 Summer. The manufacturers appear to be ramping up their design and production of figures. I’m guessing business has been good?

There’s a lot of new arrivals this month. I’ll add more tomorrow!

When I received my Yurippe Petite Nendoroid, I was naturally quite surprised at her miniature size considering that she was my first acquisition in Good Smile Company’s Petite Nendoroids line.

So how does a Petite Nendo size up to a regular Nendo? I would say that it’s about half the size of one. Now GSC, please don’t go any smaller.

Good Smile Company has showcased two new Fate/stay night figures at the Tokyo Anime Fair this year.

They are 1/7 scale PVC figures of Tohsaka Rin and Saber Alter.

You can compare the figure to the illustration of her from the Unlimited Blade Works movie.

An excellent rendition of Tohsaka Rin by Good Smile Company with her flowing hair very well done. I’m highly anticipating how the painted version turns out.

As for Saber Alter, she’ll go nicely as a set with the previous GSC Saber figures since this one is also 1/7 scale.

Saber Alter has vastly different coloring from the normal Armored Saber and Saber Lily, so this trio should make an excellent set for displaying purposes. However, it’s hard to judge this figure unpainted since it bears a somewhat close resemblance to the previous 1/7 scale Sabers, so we’ll have to see how she turns out.
