Wonder Fest is coming up soon, since I have nothing else to blog about, I mind as well tell you what I’d like to see in a few weeks.
I really hope that Alter will show us their Naoe figure sculpted and possibly painted. I’d be happy if it were just sculpted, just so I get the idea of what her pose is like. I’d like to see the rest of the Hyakka Ryoran girls sculpted as well.
Alter should also show us a Velvet to go with Mercedes and Gwendolyn. They could really make her with a really dynamic pose with those chains! (one thing Yamato’s lacks.) I’d love to see that! GSC should defiantly make a Luka PVC to go with Miku, Len, and Rin. I’d get it if it looks good. I don’t care if AmiAmi, Kotobukiya, or Alter makes it, I just want a Mio Sakamoto figure! The Sega one just wasn’t good enough. I would love to see a Black Gold Saw figure or figma, I don’t care which, just want to see one.
I’m sure that Wonder Fest will have plenty of surprises for us. I’ll be doing another highlight post for this, so look forward to it. What would you like to see at Wonder Fest?
Figure Review: 1/8 Nanoha Takamachi by Alter

My second review. This is Alter’s first take on Nanoha Takamachi. Since she was made in 2006, she’s not the best Alter has produced. They also made a Fate Testarossa to go with her. Alter and GSC made both Nanoha and Fate that year. I have done a review for GSC’s version of Fate a while back. Go to my figure reviews section to find it. This figure does not belong to me, it belongs to NanoZero. She let me borrow it for a review, so I hope you enjoy it!
As you see, she is holding Raising Heart Buster Mode seen in Nanoha A’s episode 7. I have to say, Alter sculpted and painted it well. The gem inside glows if you put it in light.
She has a very calm face despite that she’s in battle. Alter did good with the sculpting of her twin tails and her bangs. No paint hiccups at all.
Her outfit was well sculpted.
Smooth sculpt on the skirt.
Her wings are very thin and light. They fall off very easily. Must be made of plastic.
A close up of her device.
The base is nothing special, just an oval shaped clear light blue base.
The back.
She looks good at this angle. Looks like she is about to release a Divine Buster.
The back of her head is nice and smooth.
DIVINE BUSTER!!!
Overall, I thought this figure was decent. 3 Nanoha figures were made in 2006. This one, GSC’s, and Kotobukiya’s. This one shows the more gentle side of Nanoha while the others show her determination. I wouldn’t own this figure myself, it was nice to just see it in person. Thanks to NanoZero who let me review her.
More reviews to come in the future.
Preorder: Alter’s Asuka Langley Shikinami

Since Alter released a Rei Ayanami movie version, I’ve been expecting them to make an Asuka after Evangelion 2.0 came out. Now they finally made it, I have to say she’s very well detailed. I am very pleased with myself for ordering her. She doesn’t come out til October, but knowing Alter they’ll delay her til January, so I have plenty of time to gather some money.
She’ll be supported by a metal peg. The details of this figure won me over!
I really like the folds of her plug suit. I don’t think I’ve seen an Asuka figure with so much detail
Really like the detail of her feet.
For those who wish to pre-order her, she’s worth it.
