Wonder Festival 2012 Summer: Anime Garage Kits (part 1)I hope you've all recovered from your Wonder Festival news overload because, now that the dust has settled, it's time to do what what we always do, try to take over the world! Check out the goodness of the dealer floor for the cool garage kits we wish we could own or hope to see as a PVC release later down the line (for you guys at least!). And so we'll start with what is always the largest gallery at the event, the anime figures. Rather surprisingly, there was no series which stood out as dominating at this event, although quite a few new shows were represented. Pretty Cure had lots of kits but it's rather unfair to say it dominated, seeing as it had so many series to call upon. Madoka and friends are still going strong and Bakemonogatari saw a resurgence, no doubt due to Nisemonogatari. Ando, of course, we still have stalwarts like Evangelion, Fate\ and the Nanoha girls present. It wouldn't be a garage kit event without those! Keep checking back as we still have plenty of other kits to share with you to round off our event coverage until the next big one. Do any of these kits catch your eye? I love the Kuroyukihime kit, but you just know that there will be a lot of PVC figures crawling out of the woodwork soon enough! [via plus alpha, HK-DMZ and Temporary Feelings] Did you know?

9:00 PM on 05.25.2013 [NSFW] Bite into a delicious Shirayukihime pre-orderI've said before that not all blatant fanservice figures are just trashy porn, and as usual, the masterful Tony Taka proves me right again. His earlier designs from Fault!! were absolutely gorgeous, and this original Snow Whi...
8:00 PM on 05.25.2013 Go on a nice boat and pre-order Katsura KotonohaGriffon continues their hit or miss streak with this lovely lady from School Days, Katsura. This time I don't think the blame is all on them however, as the series' fairly big-eyed art style is a bit awkward when viewed in 3D...

2:00 PM on 05.25.2013 Gear up to pre-order Muv-Luv's MeiyaDespite all the Muv-Luv attention out there, I can't recall seeing too much attention given to one Meiya Mitsurugi, at least compared to some others like, say, Inia. I'm definitely pleased to see Kotobukiya stepping up to fil...
