Our first figma review after over a year (!?) is of Yui Takamura, one of the lead characters from the show and novel series Muv Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse. I initially didn’t like Yui that much at the start of the series but by the end, she had grown on me and I’m glad I got a figma version of her at least. Yui was released at arou [...]

After watching just a few episodes of the well received Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica anime, Luth and I wanted figures of the girls. Nice, intricately detailed figures in dynamic and fancy poses with their weapons out. There were figures alright, huge amounts of them in fact, but nothing elaborate enough to really convince us to hit any preorder but [...]

Welcome back to another edition of Wonfes Wishlist brought to you by your hosts: Luth and Zai! The bi-yearly festival of figures is almost upon us on Feburary 10th and there’s a lot of sculpts to look forward to and it seems some of the major manufacturers appear to be holding back on showing off brand new sculpts and licenses, possibly so th [...]

Ever since watching the first couple of episodes of Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko I’d wanted a figure of the absolutely adorable Touwa Erio.

Maybe not that awesome (although every time I see pictures of her, regret). So when a scaled figure was shown at Wonfes, I had to jump on it.

This was a figure I was looking forward to for a long time, my favorite Vocaloid from my favorite manufacturer, and from an artist whose style I like. Max Factory has done a figma version of Luka and you can see my review of her here. But this is different, a 1/7 scale statue vs a 1/12 scale action figure. Does she live up to the expectati [...]
