Wonfes fun!

Hey, everyone! The 2016 Winter Wonfes has come and gone, and lots of goodies have been revealed for all of us eager figure-colelcting fans!

First of all, you can find pics of everything that I'm talking about at Crunchyroll, the Never Outgrew Toys blog, Hubbyte Toys' Facebook page, and Neko Magic.

There are a *ton* of Marvel and DC figures this go-round, including Superman and Batman Nendoroids. And Captain America. SO. CUTE. Plans announced for a Deadpool figma and Nendoroid. Also, a lot of Nintendo: there were several Legend of Zelda figmas and Nendoroids (lots from Wind Waker, but some of the newer games, too), plus Metroid, Kirby, Pokemon...It goes on. The Pokemon offering is an Ash/Gary Nendoroid set with a teeny little Mew; it looks great, and Miss Momo is drooling over that already. (That will be released in November; it was one of the few figures with a release date attached.)

 Lots of popular anime represented, too, with One-Punch Man (they revealed an adorable Genos Nendoroid), Sword Art Online, etc. Card Captor Sakura is getting a lot of love, with some promises of making "battle costume" Sakura Nendoroids available in the near future. And speaking of Clamp, there was finally a prototype of the Magic Knight Rayearth figmas that were announced last year! Just Hikaru for right now, but I'm optimistic that Umi and Fuu aren't far behind.

There's some that I will be definitely getting: the Magic Knight Rayearth figmas, the Ushio and Tora Nendoroids, the Kaitou Kid figma... I'm mulling over the possibility of getting the Spike Spiegel figure, but I need to see the prototype (and who knows when that's gonna be). I'm very interested in seeing more high-res photos of the Elsa figma, especially once she's painted. I'm not quite sure if I'll like her or not, so I'll need to see the sculpt and examine it carefully.

With any luck, we'll get more news and better photos at this summer's Wonfes! And that's all from me right now. Miss Scarlett, signing out!
