Well, with Wonder Festival over, the figure news world sort of stalls for a bit while everyone posts a bajillion (real number) pictures of the event all over the place! So, in the idea of starting a tradition, I am going to collect all the links I can find to coverage, and order them neatly here for you. Just a note. Some of these links are from prior to the event, but they’re still relevant as event coverage still misses some stuff.
UPDATE: Added some stuff to the list. I think that nearly covers it.
Hobby Channel
- Some random cosplay. I like the lady on page 2.
- Jie-tan cosplay! I like her giant book. (Japanese constitution)
- Navy-san cosplay! She’s missing her sword though. Natural blonde?
- Army-tan cosplay GET!! She is sans spork, which makes me sad.
- Maritan diary with pictures of the cosplay ladies, including Army-tan.
- A Seven Samurai figure from Queen Bee Garden.
- A list of Kotobukiya’s WF2006 winter limited edition offerings.
- A run down of Cospa’s shirts and hats for the event.
Akibajin
- Those WanFesu limited Dark Sabre mini figures.
- Hey! A figure of Cammy from Street Fight ZERO3!
- Oh god! Ganguro Cammy! Noooooo!
- Some coverage of the Reflect booth. I wonder which figure he liked best…
Image Heavy Collections
- Akibajin
- Akibajin’s big WF2006 figure rundown. [NSFW, but naked parts are covered]

- Maids and bunngy girls! [Mildly NSFW]
- Mostly school girls with some FF.

- Heisei Democracy’s picture extravaganza! Hurray! Nicely ordered. [Ero section is NSFW, duh]
- GPara’s event coverage. It loaded a bit slow for me.
- And, finally (for now), a listing of all of AkibaBlog’s WF2006 posts. [Some NSFW stuff in the posts]
- Horror.com (a company I found through our Google Ads… click them people, apparently that aren’t all bad) has “over 300 exclusive pictures.” There’s some cosplay pictures in there too. [Some NSFW content]
- Akiba-K has posted an offering of pictures up. Nothing is clickable. [NSFW]
- Galkko posted a few pictures. Nothing new. Click the link in the post to unhide the pictures.
- There is a nice roundup over at Neko Mimi Mode as well. [NSFW]
- Midareuchi has some really nice and informational booth shots. Definately worth looking at for release dates and prices.
- ITMedia’s article about the event. (Not many pictures.)
That’s it for now. If you guys see any good links I missed, please send them along via the Contact Form or leave a comment. Figure news will get back to normal shortly.
So… much… Wonderfest… goodness… Head… will… explode!
Pressure… dropping… Heart slowing…’
Uh, yeah… Anywayz… :P There’s a Tandem Twins Wonderfest 2004 female ninja figure I spotlighted on my blog. I know she was a kit at one point but she was featured under the Yamato booths in one of the photos…
Do you think this means she might be mass produced in PVC?
I know Yamato’s main business is PVC, and considering she was a kit before, it’s almost certain that she’s coming down the pipe as a PVC, although, I couldn’t find anything when I searched (even looked through most of Yamato’s site).
Do you remember what site you found the picture at? Somehow I missed that one.
Looks like you can take her shirt off too. :D
I saw the ninja girl on the Midareuchi blog where they organized their entries into sections according to manufacturer. The page is here:

I know that the resin kit version has removable clothing so the PVC probably be the same.
Well! According to Akibajin, it is going to be a PVC.

Outstanding! I’m not going to wait to pre-order this time
around. Hopefully she won’t be too expensive and this time, I won’t hesitate to pre-order like I did with Koyori.
and Yamato will produce a nice Megu figure from Bakuretsu Tenshi.. and she was originally a kit, too!
