The Wonder Festival coverage started with a few teasers in the News Items a few hours ago and now continues with the Ikkitousen girls. Scroll to the end of the post to see how the coverage will be delivered.

A word of warning though - I've not had time to automate adding Mirai Marks to the photos and am a bit pushed for time - meaning that the photos in this article have no sign of Mirai whatsoever (apart from the top pic). If you are offended by bare naked eyes then please turn away.

The Wonfes 2008 coverage will all be in Wonfes 2008 Winter category and is being brought to you with Akihabara News.

First up is this kit of Kanu by Disk Vision - have a look at the official gallery for better pics.

Can I teach you more useful Japanese words? Oh alright then. Please look away if you don't want to have this word stuck in your head and utter it by accident on a train.

The word is "Yoko Pai" [横パイ] and refers to the side of the "eye."

Just like Summertime, I anticipate that this will come out as a painted figure - but probably be priced just like Summer time at around 17,640 yen.

Never watched Ikki Tousen, but just heard they're doing a third season, so maybe it's time I caught up.

The figures are amazing, whish they'd come out as prepaints, because I'm about as talented as an ape with a stick when it comes to painting ToT

Wow... i'm not info figures but these are goood... not offended at all!

Though i'm more into the oposite gender, these figures still gave me a shiver lol... scary!

And yes i agree a lot with you on the point that people who can make and paint those figure are awesome, it takes a lot of skill to get such a level of detail, it's just stunning.

I wonder if i can tear up my clothes like that without geting a single scratch... (i seriously watch to much anime, it could put me in danger hehe)

Well Danny from my understanding from the manga, Choun Shiryu is not blind, but she has this like serious "I'll kill you" look when she has 'em  open to show she means business, so she keeps her eyes closed so she doesn't scare people...and probably to show off she she kick @$$ with her eyes closed...

lovin' the Alter Choun Shiryu and looking forward to their completely colored Kanu...so far the Orchid Seed Kanu is on the top of my list tickling my fancy...

Oh damn! That first Disk Vision Kanu caught my eye. Usually not into the "realistic" look for figures, but that beautiful face and amazing body sculpt is simply unbelievable. I'll even forgive the shiny, spidery hair cause I'm distracted by her yummy Yoko Pai. I want WHOLE Pai!

I see amaizing figures there, but the only problem I see with Ikkitousen figures is that basically all are for three characters:Guan Yu(Kanu),Lu Meng(Ryomu)or Zhao Yun(Shiryuu). They hardly make figures for Sun ce(Sonsaku), and even more less for others characters like Zhang Fei(Chouhi)or Xiaohu Yuan(Kakouen)... Please, more variety!!

Every Ikki Tousen figure I've ever seen never disappointed.  That very first one you photoed Danny has to be my favorite.  Kanu really looks like a real girl there yet keeps her anime look.

Hmm, I'm not really a fan of the Disk Vision version of Kanu and the two figures of Kanu below the Choun Shiryu don't appeal me at all.
The rest is just wow, in particular the Griffon ones. I'm also impressed by the Figma one, at least for a first time.

Although I don't think Kanu spends too much on Fuku.  After all, it's usually apparent that she just shops in the kids section.  Probably cheaper.
