Ah, Spring, my favorite time of year. When the sun returns triumphant, turning the fields of white once again to green--washing the land in a gentle fragrance like some half-remembered kiss. When, as Lord Tennyson said, a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love. And what better time for love than February? Specifically, that one time-hallowed day where we exalt the objects of our affection, giving ourselves over body and soul, living out an old story that our hearts tell us is new?

I speak, of course, of Wonder Festival--the Comiket of figures and toys and all that is plastic. As usual, a great showing this winter. You want Nendoroids? We got Nendoroids:


Or maybe you like figmas? Maybe you're the type who likes to play with their toys? Tea parties with Haruhi and Madoka and Billy Herrington? Don't worry, Good Smile Company's got you covered:


Did you like the Madoka movies? Want to be part of Madoka's heaven? Don't make a contract with that Incubator! Just look at this gorgeous figurine every day and feel peace in your heart:


Do you collect Kantais? Awesome. Then you'll want to collect this Yamato for sure:


You like Super Sonico? Cool. Go fast in style with this cute figure:


Want to be killed by babies? Hey, nobody's judging. What happens at WonFes stays at WonFes. But maybe you can take this unique figure home--


But these figures are stupid, you say. Anyone who likes these anime floozies needs to get a real hobby, like Roman history, you say. Well, hold the phone, because have I got the figure for you:


Maybe you're a big man and you don't need no plastic women in your life. Or maybe you'd just prefer to have a hulking giant robot instead of a miniskirted middle school girl guarding your desk at work. Then maybe Kotobukiya's 1/100 EXbein is for you:


How about that Persona 3 Portable? Did you get all the S.Links? Well, now you can... uhh... hmm


shit no no no no


aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Is there a better place to see all the new figures aside from skimming recent additions to the MyFigureCollection database?  I'm pretty strictly Nendoroids and can pick them out easily from the thumbnails, but I wouldn't mind branching out a bit and seeing what else WonFes has to offer.
 
Speaking of Nendoroids, Yukari finally got her prototype.  There were a good number of Nendoroids I was hoping to see announced (like more Touhou ones) but the mass influx of Kancolle Nendoroids made me pretty happy.  Totally getting Kongou, not sure about Kitakami.  Kaga, Hiei and Ooi were revealed in promo art (Iona too) as well as prototypes for a set of Petites that include Haruna and Zuikaku.  I'm also pretty excited for the Suigintou Nendoroid and the new Madoka ones.  Ryuuko Matoi and Alisa Amiella will probably be impulse buys.  I'm second guessing the new Black Gold Saw one because the expression seems off (unless she was really like that in the anime and I just don't remember) but chances are I'll still get her.
(these things are like crack to me someone help)
 
Edit: Here's an English site where you can order some products (you might need to go through a proxy to get the Tenryuu/Tatsuta set).  Nendoroid Mami was a must and Nendoroid Snow Miku was nice enough to warrant a preorder.

There are some really nice ones among these, but if anything, all these events and announcements make me sad since the pictures of new Touhou figures, or lack thereof, just keep rubbing it into my face that I probably won't be able to fulfill my ambition of having a figure of each character. Things were looking much better in that regard last year around this time, though there had been a slightly noticeable decline by then. I thought it was because of winter, but alas, interests shifted elsewhere, it seems.
