Well it's that time of the year again, when Wonfes casts its long shadow over our budgets for the foreseeable future. There were A LOT of fantastic looking figures on display this year, and there's not way I'll be able to buy all of them for lack of money and also space. There were, however, a few that I am going to keep my eye on, and I'll put them here in order of how much I'm going to want them.
Arms Note - Swimming Club Manager (Amakuni)
This is the companion figure to previously released Arms Note swim team member. I don't know anything about Arms Note, and not really anything about swimming either, but as far as I can tell this is regulation swim attire and equipment. In reality I was so impressed by the quality of the previous figure that this one was always a certain purchase for me. It's just a matter of the pre-order going up.
Azur Lane Chen Hai Vestibule of Wonders (Anigame)
This deeply horny Azur lane figure featuring a doubly alternate outfit for Chen Hai has me pretty intrigued. Today I learned that Anigift x Anigame already have a Chen Hai figure in the works for this exact outfit (it also looks stupendous and I'm tempted to get it) but with a dress on and not just this kinda rope bondage thing in the middle of what is essentially a chest-covered reverse-bunny outfit. It also looks really nice. I almost wonder if this isn't just an incomplete proto-type shown in its castoff configuration because as I said: deeply horny. If this is indeed the final figure it just goes to show that sometimes less is more. This looks fantastic as it is but its unrepentant horniness might be too extreme for my collection, so I'm hoping that this is in fact the castoff display option and there's a way to put the dress on her.
Heso x Bunny (Orchid Seed)
It's a bunny, but also it's a bikini bunny with knee-high stockings based on art by Yom. I love everything about this. The other one looks okay too, but I don't think so much that I would need to get both. I love Yom's characters from Ganbare Douki-Chan, and while I don't think this character is from that series, she has some of the characteristics. Mainly, it's a kind of pleasant-ness that is really appealing to me. Coupled with sensible proportions, I think she really stands out in a see of hyper-exaggerated anime figures. I'm not sure what the scale is. Maybe 1/6 scale?
Meido-Budou (SkyTube)
I don't plan to buy this as I think it's a bit too much design-wise, but I'm curious to see how it turns out. Nidy-2D's art is really cool, but I was disappointed in how his Gal Sniper figure turned out. hoping this one is better. Maybe it'll tempt me once painted, I don't know.
