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.
Google is a strange beast to understand.
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.
You need to be logged in to Flickr and set your preferences to show you any content that I have flagged as "adult."
Add me as a contact and you will get the updates as soon as the images are uploaded to Flickr.
Still got quite a few bits n pieces to come including the ecchi and mecha stuff so stay tuned ^^;

Sorry, but I disagree since I can actually build these kits and make them look cleaner than pvc's.

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.

Nice-looking resins there. Probably the most interested in the one of Akari from ARIA and the Saber holding a guitar.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wish his space yuki gets the PVC production too. I think it made another appearance in the event.

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 ~_~

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.
