all of these totally need a PVC version.. so i can make an infinite hole in my wallet
Seconded ^^
UNLIMITED EMPTY-WALLET WORKS.
I agree... Most of these kits look really good.
Sorry, but I disagree since I can actually build these kits and make them look cleaner than pvc's.
Lol Your right, Resin is better than PVC if you put enough time into it. Wish I could start making resin kits, but i gots no money and skillz. Takes a long time too.
Yeah, there's a ton of stuff here I'd like to buy. Too bad I couldn't build one of these to save my life OTL
if they did I'd go bankrupt o_O
I agree wholeheartedly! Have mercy on us people with no elite figure modding skillz LOL XD
just nice.. i just finished seeing all the pics from ur flickr.. and i love ze moe-tan.. =3 Miku too..
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
Nice-looking resins there. Probably the most interested in the one of Akari from ARIA and the Saber holding a guitar.
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.
I'd practice both, if i ever got the chance =д= I found Konata +splee~+
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.
Beautiful resins, but I'd never give up my mecha skills...^_^
NICE! Just love the Konata in the cheering uniform! I noticed the cat's there too!
Wow, I could use some aribrushing skills. Some of those resins are just mindblowing XD
*Airbrushing
indeed you share my pain. I couldn't airbrush to save my life.
Seriously.. if you can hand paint you can airbrush. The big super secret to airbrushing is. Thinning your paint enough. And cleaning the damn thing. Thats it! Outside of that.. Its point and shoot. Keep your air pressure around five to ten pounds of air at most. And your generally fine.
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
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 ~_~
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.
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
Mecha stuff = the soul of a man! Gunpla = the passion of a man! although, out of all those nice pic, I liked the Akari one A LOT.... I miss Aria.... =(
i want that ryou figure! let me go ask doraemon for help.
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.
you forgot your loli Feito and Nanoha.
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...
Super. That figures is lok a very nice. Gits, Clannad, Saber, CC its lok a verry good.
Awww... Lucky Star kits are wondrous!
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.
Yay ToHeart2!
C.C. for PVC!!!!
I would definitely like the Kyou one, but where is her sister!! :( Also I'll take the Lucky Star twins. Is it me or is Kagami = Kyou and Tsukasa = Ryou I'll just call them then Kyo Anim (Kyoto Animation) twins LOL.
Some ace figures there! That unpainted Yoko one looks awesome. She looks a bit shunya yamashita-ish though? As for model making skills - i used to make airfix kits, but nothing since then. Id rather stick to PVC - less hassle, and better quality than i can make them!
fell in love with the Motoko figurine :D
I'd love to see the resin kits of Kyou, Shirley and Fate (the one with her scythe) getting the PVC treatment. :) As for my resin kit building skills.. I have none! ^_^''
Kyou's kit is really well done IMO
There's always e2046
If only that Miku figure comes in PVC version.. XD
I wish I have the talent and the skills to sculpt figures like those~ ^^;;
i really want to learn how to make resin kits but im afraid of messing up
Some really good ones here, and some which just look wrong. The Rei on motorbike ones are great (by Vispo). Interesting to see resin kits still going strong despite the upsurge of ready-painted PVC these days. What's the schoolgirl with her rear to the mirror all about though...? as if I didn't know...
some of those look freaking awesome, but alas I can't paint for crap, and I would not want to buy one and then have it end up looking like I painted it... that's for sure.
I'd definitely love to try this. I used to paint Warhammer, so I'm kinda used to detail painting... it'd be fun to put one of these together and paint it up real nice :) Loving the Belldandy one! If I ever saw a Lina Inverse kit, I'd be THERE.
Those are nice shots with the dramatic lightning. I really wonder how I could paint these things so good that it looks just like in the picture. Must be hard, and probably have to paint over it again to get it right ;p But those are some very nice figures though ;p About those google searches, it really depends on many factors: the location from where you do the search, at what time, etc. If you search "Ayumi Hamasaki Concert tour 2008" in google, my blog sometimes hits the first spot. Which I find very weird, but at the same time I like it of course ;p Google Webmaster Tools are nice to get a list of searches that lead to your site and at what place you are ranked in that search. That combined with Google Analytics, it's a stats-junkie's heaven ^^
Saber, Fate, Rei and C.C got me good. Nice one Danny! ^_^
Thanks for the pics, Danny! The Saber with guitar picture is especially striking from a compositional and production perspective. As for me, I build both gunpla and figure kits, though I'm not great at either. Like all hobbies, I'll get better eventually. I use acrylic paints for my figures, so it's really easy to re-do them later on when I get better (already done that to a few). The only real downside is the price, but I've been trying to get stuff on sale where I can (HLJ and Hobbysearch sometimes clear out old stock, for example).
I would even paint that realistic Yoko one myself. But I would go nuts if it was turned into a prepainted PVC version x_X
looking at these make me want to play with clay! :P
totally need to start getting into kits
I would, if I had the talent... So many great resin kits..
I prefer to keep my Gunpla building skills... I bet it's Gunpla is much cheaper than resin kits ^^;
Tama-nee resin *nosebleed*
I'd love to learn how to paint like that.
I want a lot of these. T_T
Those kits look amazing, I wish I could make those. I can't even make mechs...
Plenty of choice figures,but resin kit prices scare me.
Prefer Gunpla skills sorry
Ooo I like the CC and the Saber with the guitar. I don't think I could build these things mostly because I'll never have the skills to paint them to look like that!
I'm getting DC as the #1 result when I search wonder festival but #2 when I search wonfes. I wish I had more cash to invest in Mecha. Pretty much everything artsy is beyond me.
I can do both. Don't have to trade anything. Haha
you missed "can't do either" on your poll =.="
I honestly wouldn't trade in my gunpla making skills as I've seen with quiet a few resin kits get a prepainted pvc version later on. That and the fact in a couple weeks I'll be getting the required things to make resin kits so in due time I'll have the skills for both mastered. Out of all those above I only saw two I wanted.
Not so sure I would want to trade in my Gunpla building skills to build better resin figures. My wife doesn't appear to be to keen on figures... Some are ok, but many she doesn't like. I have been working on my figure photography skills as well as, looking for ways to make her feel ok about figures. Maybe if I find a way to make profit from figures she will not mind so much. Yes, I also want to improve my resin building skills as well. Anyhow, I see several kits here I wouldn't mind building. From what I have seen, almost all the Yoko figures have been resin. I think the better ones have been as well. Would like to build the Lucky Star set. I heard those sold out fairly quickly...
I want the asagi kit, the series has been a little favourite of mine
If i only had skill and money for those~ :( and yeah~ Space too :) Looks very pretty indeed ~
wow, nice resin kit. its really look great.
I received same results as you Danny using both of those searches. 2cd you were each time. Nice pics btw!
does anyone know the names of these figures or from which anime/game they're from? http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/2731049499/sizes/o/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/2731060151/sizes/o/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/2731060441/sizes/o/ love that Motoko Kusanagi figure! *drools* ^_^
Oh how I wish that CC kit gets to have a pvc version. That is so beautiful!
With a really talented painter you can make resin kits look completely unique. E2046 is a gk shop and they have people volunteer to post up galleries of their work in the forums, and some of the paint jobs are absolutely incredible. I have a some of my favorites bookmarked if anyone is interested, just uh send me an email ^^ u can find it through my blog ~ I been hand painting my resin kits but I still got a whole lot to learn. I'm never satisfied with how the eyes turn out but they been getting better ^.^
Got you second on my Wonfes search Danny, In fact most of the times I use google I end up seeing you within the top 5. Sometimes I cant help but wonder why even though the ability to make an anime face into 3-d has been perfected by so many figure manufactorers, animators, etc. there are still so many figures with strange looking faces. Seeing as the face is generally the focal point of a figure, I find it strange that even at wonfes, I am seeing many with this problem. Does anybody else have any thoughts on that?
Oooo, I would love to trade my Gunpla/mecha making skills for female kit making skills anyday!... except that I don't have any Gunpla/mecha making skill so I guess I'll get squat x_x
So many awesome stuff this year...ah wish I was there to see it myself...if I had any mecha making skillz definitely trade it in for female kit making skillz...but since I don't have any if I were to start now then of course the answer is the latter...
the little oni girl dressed in a grocery bag(?) is PRECIOUS. must have.
Can't say which one i like.. it's too much.. the dioramas are all good.. i will trade my gunpla skills for that right away >_<
i will cuz i had alot idea
whoa........I am amazed..
They're so many beautiful figures! Saber with guitar looks cool... And bikini Tama from ToHeart2... WOW
The first pic of the Lucky Star girls in their cheer outfits look so awesome!!! The Kagamin X Tsukasa in their cheer outfits is from one of my favourite pictures. Others that tickeled my fancies are the some of the Yoko, Geass and Nahoha (I mean Fate (A's)). I can't make Resin kits to save my life, neither have I tried. Paying someone to do the jop will be just too much money spent.
will try it once I build up my guts first ^^; Kyou is nice~ ^^ If I can make, I think I'll make a guy figure
Ah Resin... My ancient enemy... These kits looks amazingly good though, although I would prefer PVC to not go through the hassle.
:actually faints from cuteness/moeness/hawtness overload:
And which one is better?? PVC or Resin?? I think with resin kits you could paint the kit as you like, but im not sure... Anyway, this resin kits looks awesome!!!
Resin is fragile but it can look A LOT better if painted by a talented painter. I put some pics of my favorite resin kits in my blog from E2046's galleries.
I wish I knew someone that could make resin kits. Then I could get them to build and paint that Motoko statue and many other Love Hina kits, oh and Sailor Moon and maybe a nice statue from Full Metal Panic! I hate resin kits since all the ones I want don't become PVC.
That Hanyuu and Rika look so cute.
That Kimikiss figure looks nice. I've never seen it, but very nice... And Hanyuu!! Rika!!!! :faints:
ok, I'll keep this, keep that, keep that and that and that and oh can't forget CC and Yoko and Saber and Nanoha and Miku @_@... Brian Griffin: "Oh god, I need help!"
oh crap.. I can't make resin kits @_@
I'd really like to see a gathering version of Upside-down Yoko... Also, Rika and Hanyuu...must have PVC of them. *depair* The Louise's, bikini!Tamaki and Pastel Ink are looking good as well.
Trading in Gunpla skills for this? An easy yes for me, it's the reason why I've been hand painting my gundams. I'm planning on building resin kits next summer.
Nice dakimakura. How can I trade those with gundam kit?!
OMG!! I want to buy them all!
DO WANT the Taimanin Asagi one, hope it gets pvc'd >.<;
They look great... the only ones I've seen in local stores are the mech ones.
wow is picture (image ID#20947) Kanu? if so can anyone tell me what version that is? i love girls on kimono whipping their blades.. kick ass!!! o_O
its one of my goals in life up there with *drive a ferrari* and * date super models* there is * build resin kits*
WOW. I would rather do these than Gundan kits or Eva kits any day. I wonder if I can find any of these in my local toy store
Amazing resin toys! I want some of them to be in my next KINDER SURPRISE. Thanks a lot for the pics!
I like PVC figures better. :)
I'd better start saving..
Who is this .. image ID#20969 ????????
thanks very much for festival pictures !!! all figures are incredibles, i love figures !
