Now we take a lookie at the resin kits.
Have been attending the wonfes for a few years now and a large percentage of the kits on display/sale seem to be the same.
This time round I only took stuff that I have not seen before which tickled my fancy. You can see coverage from the past few Wonder Festivals in the Wonder Festival archives.
You can get pretty much all the Wonfes coverage from going to Robomoe and Rinou and clicking on all the links in the top half of the page.
Kotatsuga also has a ton of links in his right column.

I know many of you can make Gundam kits but would you trade in your mecha making skills to be able to make figurines instead?
Done a search for wonfes and wonder festival and I show up as the second result for both searches - am not sure whether thats because of my previous search history and was wondering if you could help tell me where I show up in your results.

Looks like a few of you have already noticed that I upload photos to my Flickr account a few hours before I release it here.

I agree... Most of these kits look really good.
(ID #257006) Posted on 2008/08/05 02:15
Sorry, but I disagree since I can actually build these kits and make them look cleaner than pvc's.

All of those are on my wanted list. Too bad I don't print money.

In my case I only have figures and resin kits, I don`t like gundams or similar. But, to be honest, I also have a Escaflowne kit and a Gurren Lagann...

I love the Yoko doing up her hair, Saber on guitar and the Lucky Star girls. Wish they were in PVC so they don't burn a hole in my wallet and they don't break in my clumsy hands.

Agreed! I hope they get the PVC treatment. I would buy Yoko in a second

Oo~ Nice choices, Yoko looks so sweet in that pose, she'd look great in a kimono like that =D

"I want that Louise in bed now!" lol ambiguous... Hoping to see this or the neko one in pvc.. xD
(ID #256847) Posted on 2008/08/04 22:41
Nice-looking resins there. Probably the most interested in the one of Akari from ARIA and the Saber holding a guitar.
(ID #256849) Posted on 2008/08/04 22:42
Wants C.C.,wants Shirley, wants Louise, wants them all.. As for the skills, would like to learn if I have the chance and time.
(ID #256850) Posted on 2008/08/04 22:44

Wouldn't trade Gunpla skills for anything but better Gunpla skills. ...Or maybe a real Gundam. ...Or maybe a real Gundam with Yoko in it.
(ID #256856) Posted on 2008/08/04 22:50
Beautiful resins, but I'd never give up my mecha skills...^_^
(ID #256857) Posted on 2008/08/04 22:51
NICE! Just love the Konata in the cheering uniform! I noticed the cat's there too!
(ID #256862) Posted on 2008/08/04 22:57
Wow, I could use some aribrushing skills. Some of those resins are just mindblowing XD

indeed you share my pain. I couldn't airbrush to save my life.

All incredible. That CC definitely needs to be put into production.

I have had my fair share of building resin kits but not as good as these, not by a longshot. I wouldn't mind trading my Gunpla building skills for better resin kit building skills. The way I see it, if you can build resin kits, Gunpla shouldn't be as difficult.

oh my now tamaki's eyes are definitely my type woot awesome stuff oh and i haven't got any gundam making skills so can't comment on that hurhur

I've tried making Gundams and utterly failed so I doubt I would fare well with these. I'd like to get a kit and try again though.

damn, I want resin figures... ...if I have skills to make it

Loli echidna for the Lulz Nice yokos too
(ID #256907) Posted on 2008/08/04 23:42
I would really want that Pastel Ink Echidna Cosplay from Bubba. It's a shame his kits aren't made into mass PVC production. The only one I can remember is Max Factory Etona. http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/saikorokyarameru/imgs/2/d/2d994d69.jpg Wish his space yuki gets the PVC production too. I think it made another appearance in the event. http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/saikorokyarameru/imgs/a/0/a01ad990.jpg?blog_id=1535178

So many figures have caught my eye... I'd definitely want female kit making skills. Never actually tried one before because I'm afraid of screwing it up... and I know that my painting skills are like ~_~
(ID #256909) Posted on 2008/08/04 23:43
I checked the google results. It's not just your search history. In fact, you've moved up for "wonder festival", you are now first, for me anyway. Still second for wonfes.
(ID #256916) Posted on 2008/08/04 23:58
Hell Yeah for the Shirley figure! She was very hot in the anime with her swimsuit + jacket combo ^^ so glad they chose that for the figure

I wish I knew how to airbrush figurines. Maybe when I'm 50, retired and have a lot of spare time on my hands, airbrushing figurines doesn't sound like a bad hobby to keep my hands busy. Beats gardening or stamp collecting any day.

First shot of Kyou is enough to send orgasmic shivers down my spine.

Some of those kits are just ama-ha-hazing. Whish I had the Godlike skills to do those paintjobs. But alas, can't do any of that. T-T

Had a look at the resin kit selection from other sites and Yahoo! Japan Auctions and none really tickled my fancy this time round. and a lot were resales of older kits seen elsewhere or minor modifications. The Shirley Fennette by Ryun Ryun Tei just had a different sculpt for the coat and a change to the facial expression. The pose and positions are all the same as the swimsuit model sold last year. Quite worrying since the Summer wonderfestival is usually the biggest event for resin kits... I am a little curious as to what the taimanin Asagi figure looks like from the front tho...

trading gunpla skills for figure kit skill? if it's to make money, sure. but to build them a hobby... probably not. love gundams more than figures. ^^

WOW at the Tama-nee kit... now that's something that need to become PVC.
