Wonder Festival 2014

Hello everyone! Recently, Wonder Festival occurred in Japan where the latest figures were showcased, among other items. Figures included finished products as well as upcoming ones and the prototypes were displayed (or an advertisement if the prototype was not yet made.) It is a fantastic event for every anime and Japanese culture lover!

Good Smile Company, among other major corporations, released figures that were exclusive to the Wonder Festival. You could only pick these up at the festival or online for a certain amount of days. Good Smile Company had four figures up for preorder: Snow Miku Figma, Armin Arlert Figma, Snow Miku nendoroid, and Mami Tomoe school uniform nendoroid that came with Charlotte (aka Bebe.) If you have not preordered one yet, you have until February 20th! Interestingly enough, the preorder deadline was today (Feb. 17) but due to overwhelming demand, they extended the preorder date!

Here are some of my favorites that were showcased at Wonder Festival.

Beautiful Sailor Moon merchandise were displayed! Moonies, including myself, were so excited to see these.
Finished product of the Sailor Mercury ZERO figure… and it looks like Sailor Venus is next too!

Sailor Saturn SH Figuart is next! So excited that they are doing the outer senshi.
---------------------------
Numerous Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) items were showcased! To be expected from an insanely popular show with an equally large fan base.
Armin Arlert nendoroid and a Eren Jaeger figure are in the works!

Eren, Levi, and Mikasa RAH! Mikasa has been up for preorder for a while now (including a second run,) but it looks like Eren and Levi are coming up too!

Levi comes with his cleaning outfit! Release date is Dec. 2014. Cleaning supplies are a first production run special.


Guess who else is joining the AoT RAH line? Annie Leonhardt! Very unexpected, but totally awesome!

Overall, I was very satisfied with what was showcased at this year's Wonder Festival. I am so anxious to preorder a lot of these!
