I hope you have been enjoying the coverage from SDCC and haven't been burned out from all the news yet, but if you're feeling the strain, don't worry! You still have just over a week to recover in time for the biggeest Japanese figure event of the calendar! That's right, It's time for Wonder Festival!!

And the companies are already announcing the event exclusives which they will be taking to Wonder Festival this year. Even the organisers are getting in on the act as they have already announced the three kits which will take part in Wonder Showcase, the garage kit "hall of Fame" which adds new makers and their works at each event! I guess they want to make sure everyone knows which ones are making it this time so prospective buyers know where to find them.

This time around, we get kits of weego (which comes in two colours), an original work by MechatroCentral, Remilia Scarlett from Touhou (specifically, The embodiment of Scarlet Devil game) by GLEMO and Kirijo Mitsuru from Persona 3 by SantaKari.

If you're a GK builder and are interested in one of these works, Tokyo Hunter is taking orders for them on their site though, due to the nature of Wonder Festival, it's going to be a bit of pot luck as to whether or not you will get one before they sell out. Not sure about you guys, but that Mitsuru looks really tempting to me!! Why does she have to be a charge character in P4:Arena??

Treasure Festa in Ariake 9: Mana Mode, Little Pink Summer

More Treasure Festa coverage? Sure! Let's take a look at two more kit makers with some popular characters. Mana Mode brought two different Asukas with them, one of her in her plugsuit and the other featuring her jamming out w...

[NSFW] Treasure Festa in Ariake 9: Mouse Unit

An old friend returned at Treasure Festa from the folks at Mouse Unit, the bikini-clad Zettai Tora. All colored up, she probably needs to invest in a bigger swimsuit, but she looks pretty damn good regardless. Her hat's even ...

Treasure Festa in Ariake 9: 83 C, kuni20xx, and EBO

Treasure Festa's real gems can often be found at some of the smaller maker's booths, and this year provided no such difference. I'm highlighting three of them in this post: From 83 C, we have an old kit of theirs of Yagami H...

Treasure Festa in Ariake 9: Grizzry Panda

Grizzry Panda's Treasure Festa offerings brought us a look at his Touhou race queen kits of Reimu and Marisa. They're unpainted, of course, but looking pretty good. Then there's the Isshiki Akane garage kit, which we saw prev...

Treasure Festa in Ariake 9: Atelier Hiro and Atomic-Bom

Spotted at Treasure Festa in Ariake 9 were Atelier Hiro's gorgeous Miku kits, along with his Girls und Panzer pieces. The two Mikus look particularly amazing; look at the detail on her hair! I especially like the one with the...

Treasure Festa in Ariake 9: Amie-Grand

Amie-Grand had some nice figures at Treasure Festa with my personal favorite being Asuka. I like the concept, with her chilling on a really cool NERV-themed base. You can also see a polystone 1/6-scale Chuubou Sonken from Ikk...

Treasure Festa in Ariake 9: Girls und Panzer

For every one of these events, there's always the glut of characters flooding the tables. Miku, Saber, Tamaki, Nanoha, etc. It just goes on and on. While those girls are here too, I've noticed that one new show has begun to d...

Treasure Festa in Ariake 9: T's system

At Treasure Festa in Ariake 9, we got a glimpse at T's system's latest works. Those happen to include a healthy dose of girls in swimsuits, including Sword Art Online's Silica and Asuna; Kagamine Rin; and Sena and Yoroza from...

Treasure Festa in Ariake 9: Moon Writer

It's no secret that there are figures posed in very, very odd ways. It's even more odd to explain it to family members. They're provocative without any semblance of reality. "Why is her back like that?" "She's going to topple...

Treasure Festa in Ariake 9: Gift chooses its Saber Bride

To my disappointment, Gift has held on to making more plushes than PVC. When they do get to making a PVC, it's usually a Saber. I'm not in anyway a fan of Fate, but I love this marriage of the two entities. It's fitting then ...
