I remember thinking earlier this week that things recently seemed pretty light as far as new figure orders went.  Boy did the way the week ended change all of that.  A school girl, girls in bikini’s, and a fairy wielding a giant cross-bow: how can you not get excited?

Wonder Festival Summer 2009 is wrapping up in Japan and it looked like it was amazing: so many figures!  I didn’t have the resources (ie. money) to go to an event like this, but it’s a dream of mine to go to one of these large-scale Japanese cons: Wonfes and Comiket being the ones I’m most eagar to see.  I could’ve tried live-bloging it, but others already had that covered.  Instead I just combined the usual upcoming figures post with some event wrap-up “coverage”.  Oh, and be careful this time if you’re accessing from work – there are a couple of risqué ones.  :3

After checking the net on Monday I was worried that it would be a pretty weak week for new pre-orders.  There had been a couple Ikki Tousen figures from Griffon and a really crappy Kyou from some company I’ve never heard of, but not much else.  It looked so bad I was left wondering what I’d do about today’s post.  But, as the week ended much better than it started, here are some more figures I’m excited about.

I hadn’t originally planned to do this figure today – in fact I didn’t even own her until this weekend – but there was something about Lucy that was too good to pass up on.  That and I had to take a break from all the Alter figures I had been doing lately.  Today we’re taking a look at Kotobukiya’s 1/8th scale Lucy Maria Misora PVC from To Heart 2.
