GSC X MaxFactory WonderFest 2010 Exclusives - PVC, Nendoroids, Figmas, Vinyl

GoodSmile Company has officially announced a slew of exclusive items that are going to be released in conjunction with Wonderfest 2010 and as online exclusives. Most of the exclusives will be first released in “Wonderful Hobby Life for You 11″at WF2010[Winter] on February 07, 2010. Online pre-orders will start at Good Smile Online Shop from February 08 – 13, 2010, and items will be released on June 2010.

They have really come up with a great lineup this time and I'm sure many collectors will be scrambling to get their hands on them. Collectors outside of japan will of course expect to pay through their noses again for these beauties. (sigh.. I am one of these poor souls)

Well.. as usual we start off with my favorite... NENDOROIDS.

Nendoroid Snow Miku

To commemorate the snow sculpture of 'Snow Miku' to be erected at the 61st Sapporo Snow Festival, comes a Nendoroid of Snow Miku. YES!!.. not a nendoroid petit but a "full sized "nendoroid!!

I simply love this nendoroid. When news of the nendoroid petit snow miku was released, I had wished that they made a full sized nendoroid of snow miku. Now my prayers had been answered..Well sort of.. since this is an exclusive...

The design on this nendo is simply fantastic. The ends of her long twin-tail hair is made from clear plastic with snowflakes printed into her hair. This matched perfectly with her ice blue outfit with parts coated with a glimmering silver coating. An absolutely beautiful nendo i would say.

In addition to Wonderfest 2010 and online, Snow Miku will also be solded at the 61st Sapporo Snow Festival (5th February - 11th February). If any of you are lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time.. try to grab one :)

Nendoroid K-ON! Mio and Ritsu: Live Stage Set
From the current hit anime'K-ON' comes these Nendoroids of the K-ON club's bassist 'Mio Akiyama' and drummer 'Ritsu Tainaka' wearing the outfits from the Sakura High Festival performance.

Saber Lily ~Golden Caliburn~ 1/7 PVC Figure
Riding on the popularity of the previous figure 'Saber Lily ~Distant Avalon~, GSC milks us again with this version. Saber is back again wearing less armor, and wearing a white flowing dress . Facial expression has also been altered from fierce stern face to a subtle smile. (slightly scary in a ghostly kind of way)

Instead of holding Avalon in her left hand, now she is holding Caliburn's scabbard. Scabbard is nicely detailed and in certain angles seem to match Caliburn better then the bulky Avalon.

I personally prefer the original Saber Lily ~Distant Avalon~. To me this version just makes Saber looks "naked". And somehow that just strikes the wrong chord with me.

It is still a nice PVC though, and die hard Saber fans will snap this up anyway.

Figma Ui Hirasawa: School Uniform ver.

Following closely behind her older sister, comes a figma of Ui Hirasawa to continue the K-ON figma series!

Three expressions are included: A simple smiling face, another smiling face with an open mouth, and a worried face - all of which can be used with her older sister Yui's figma as well. Her schoolbag and castanets are also included.

Lolz.. basically Yui with different hair :) Another chaser for K-On fans.
