With Wonder Festival Winter 2010 over, I’m sure many of you already planned whatcha getting and what not. With so many glorious beauties displayed this year, it’s hard not to hold back. In addition, getting one figure of the same character seems to be getting harder and harder as well with companies constantly bringing out different types and versions in giving each a bit of variety.
So in saying that, here are few little beauties which are ready for reservation at your favourite online stores. ^^

Wave Konata and Kagami Swimsuit version is a part of their “Treasure Figure Collection”. I think Wave is starting to roll out a batch of “Beach Queen” figures and Konata and Kagami from Lucky Star are the best iconic characters to kick start their line up.
When it comes to Wave figures, I’m always skeptical because their quality is either below or above average. Owning 1 Wave figure doesn’t qualify me in ‘knowing it all’ about their quality but it has made me overlook them compared to Alter, GSC and Max Factory. I read many reviews they are either a hit or a miss so thinking about it, I should give them another chance if a figure or figures tickle my fancy once more and these could be them.
My eyes popped out (not literally :P) when I saw these little beauties. They looked so sweet and so delicious, having either Konata or Kagami alone would be a crime. I guess what sold me was seeing the picture where both are hugging each other. If that is not hot for you then I don’t know what is. :P
Reservations are still up at many of your favourite online retailers so grab them at:
Lastly, Nakano Azusa by Alter. Wonfes was just last Sunday and I’m surprised she was up for reservation this quick. If they were this quick in getting her sculpted and listing her up, why are they taking their sweet ass time on Selvaria Bles? >_<
Anyway, this was one of the figures I loved from the Wonfes showcase and I already placed my preordered at Hobby Search which is listed at 20% off + 5% extra points. Currently the best deal in the market so far. ^^
It’s surprising that only a few months ago, I didn’t like Azunyan. LOL
Other online reservations can be placed at:
So have you placed your order for any of these 3?

I hesitate to pre-order Konata and Kagami. I don’t like Wave swimsuit, but these ones.. Adorable !

Definitely getting the Konata and Kagami. As for the Azusa figure… don’t see what the big deal is, to be honest. The base looks terrible :-/

Although the Wave Konata and Kagami are nice, their scale is too small for me to consider buying. I’m on the edge about preordering Azusa – that HobbySearch price is pretty good.

I pre-ordered those 3 figures this morning :)
I already have 4 Lucky star from Wave. Not disappointed anyway, even if they could have been better. But i really enjoy the kindness Wave highlights from her faces.
And both are really soooooooo cute.

Adore the Konata and Kagami bikini figures by Wave, they look really adorable. Haven’t gotten any Wave figures at all though, not even the current K-ON! beach queen series by Wave as I too have doubts as to their quality, but these seem a step up for Wave.
Pre-ordered Azusa at Hobby Search as well, couldn’t pass up that nice discount. ^^

Also, preordered Azunyan at Hobby Search. $60 plus shipping is way cheaper then what I’ll find her for in the Akiba. Lately, things have been getting more expensive there and people are scalping popular figures like crazy. ):
For the Azusa figure herself, I agree that her base is disappointing but the figure itself is outstanding. I mean, she looks exactly like she does in the anime which is a rarity when I look through K-ON figures. Also, the included nekomimi is a perk. :3

I’m tempted to get the Lucky Star girls. I don’t own a swimsuit figure and they are very cute.

Hmmm…Is that even considered symmetrical docking when flat chests are involved?

There is no need for me to consider when it comes to kawaii Konata plus Kagami, unless the price is way too high. Although there is a considerable amount of LS figurines in the market, I still think that Wave has the best. Somehow, the sculptor manage to capture the kawaii-ness of the girls while the other companies did not. This set of Konata and Kagami shall be my first and second girls in swimsuit. XD Can’t wait for them to be release!!!
