With WonFes 2017 Winter over, it’s time to post the obligatory wishlist! ^o^

Even though there were a lot of exciting figure announcements and prototype reveals at Wonder Festival 2017 Winter today, I don't feel my wallet is in too much danger. There were a lot of Nendoroids that looked interesting, but I likely won't buy. And the figures I ABSOLUTELY POSITVELY HAVE TO PREORDER, were fairly few (at least compared to previous WonFes).

Below, the squares shaded darkly are figures I likely won't buy. They caught my eye, but seriously, I'd rather spend my money on other Nendoroids. The squares clouded in white are figures that if I was forced into a corner, I might be able to give up. But it'd be nice if I didn't have to.

Good Smile is going to kill my wallet if they announce more Harvest Moons! ;u; If every Crypton Future Media Vocaloid gets a Harvest Moon version, I don’t know what I’m going to do. Those costumes are just too pretty. XwX

I feel like I'm obligated to get Figma Utena and Nendoroids Ed & Al, but I don't feel as strongly about those fandoms anymore, enough to justify the money those figures cost. On the other hand, I have a rule about not passing up merchandise from an old fandom, for that reason alone. The last time I passed up a Devil Hunter Yohko artbook, just because it was no longer my all-consuming obsession, I regretted it. And I kept hunting for it at each succeeding con. *That* is a regret. Which is why I bought Figma Hikaru Shidou, even though I haven't been into CLAMP's manga, let alone Magic Knight Rayearth for years. So when I see Utena, Ed & Al, my nostalgia dictates that I preorder them, even though my current obsessions say that I shouldn't be spending on old fandoms like Utena and FMA.

I'm not really into these paritcular swords, but I've got a completionist problem. * I already have Kashuu Kiyomitsu, so I have to get Yamatonokami Yasusada, right? And Yasusada has a generic hakama! Before Touken Ranbu Nendoroids, it was so hard to find nice, generic, male wafuku that could go on any character. Still, even now, though it's gotten easier to get hakama from Tourabu, it's hard to find male kimono or yukata. So I snatch up any versatile male wafuku wearing Nendoroid, I can find. * Izuminokami Kanesada isn't really a character I'm particularly attached to, since I'm more a Dategumi fan than a Shinsengumi fan, but I've always liked his character design. It even managed to make me ignore the long hair, even though I usually don't like that character design on males. His costume was just elaborate enough, and the color scheme, contrasting between the deep red and intense blues, just really pop. ^_^ * So that being said, I really shouldn't get Horikawa Kunihiro. His costume design is closer to modern Western and I'd rather throw my money at wafuku designs. But damn it, he's got the same intense blue contrasting against dark hair, just like Izuminokami. ~_~; That contrasting color scheme---or rather, contrasting intensity or value scale---just work too well on me. And after seeing Horikawa in the Touken Ranbu Hanamaru anime, I'd feel bad if I split him up from the senpai partner he idolizes. ~__~! Anyway, I already preordered his brother (Yamanbagiri Kunihiro), so my completionist itch should be happy about that. ...Even though the Kunihiro brothers don't seem very close... x_x * As for Ookanehira! You can't trick me into wanting your Nendoroid! ~w~! I told myself not to buy any more characters I didn't already know! (Unless they were exceptionally cute!) I don't care if your eyes and hair color remind me of one of my main character OCs! Nor if your seiyuu is Ono Yuki! You're too full of yourself and I should be spending my money on cuter characters! Stay back, I say! Keep your charms away from me! ~W~!

The Disney Nendoroids are cute and I like those classic "2nd Renaissance" movies, along with Tim Burton, but not enough to get figures. But if I ran into them at a con or something, really cheap, and there was nothing else I was spending at during a small con, I might go ahead and get them. Like what happened with Nendoroid Anna.

I didn't include Nendoroid Yuri, because I already preordered him. It's strange that I'm certain about getting Nendoroid Victor, even though I'm not as totally obsessed with Yuri on Ice as everyone else seems to be. But despite YOI not taking over my life, I still do like the characters. They're sweet! And I want that ambiance in my display cases!

Karasuno Nendoroids. No question there. I just want all my Karasuno starters. Announcing Yamaguchi and Sawamura together, when there are only 2 more starters on Karasuno, makes me think they'll be announcing them in pairs. Here's to hoping for some Asahi and Tanaka Nendoroids! ^o^ And if they decide to make a Nendoroid Ennoshita, I'll consider him.

Japan. Kiku Honda. My rule about still collecting for old fandoms, as if they're still my current obsession, applies here. Except that my Hetalia fandom doesn't feel that long ago. Probably because I saw Hetalia the World Twinkle at AkibaFest2016. Let's hope that if we show demand for Japan, USUK will get some Nendoroids too. *o*!

Nendoroid More Dress-up sets are my favorite Nendoroid more. The outfits are so nicely generic and versatile, and help put a stop to me buying Nendoroids of characters I have no attachment to, just for their wardrobe. (I've given Masamune & Yukimura enough wardrobe options already---but I just can't stop! It's for DateSana! ;o; ) It’ll be great to put some period era Nendoroids, uniformed characters, and fantasy costumed characters into a modern AU. Groomsmen for those Nendoroid More wedding sets...Haikyuu boys in formal wear...my KanColle girls as office ladies... *U* I could make a cubicle diorama! O.O Still waiting for male wafuku Nendoroid More sets, but until then, any Nendoroid More Dress-up sets are always welcome!!! ^U^

Ice Kirby is so cute and I love blue. But if I wasn't willing to get original Kirby, with all his cuteness, and I didn't get MetaKnight, despite his cuteness, then I should probably save my money. I wasn't deluded for a second into buying that robot armor Kirby. It's on my wishlist because I just like to look at it. ^^; I mean, what the heck is that giant, cute thing?! ^o^

Nendoroid More face cases are cute, but if it comes down to it, those are the first things I cut out of my budget. After all, I skipped on that Konnosuke faceplate case, and I love Touken Ranbu. Still, that penguin and fishing bear are ADORABLE. When I saw the penguine case's announcement last year, I wanted to get it to re-create Chiyo's costume scenes from Azumanga Daioh. ^u^

I'm not watching Re:Zero, but Emilia is beautiful! *.* I have a weakness for pastel hair and her outfit, on top of that, is just so pretty. Her character design just screams "ingenue" deredere, and that's my favorite type of waifu (alongside kuudere and sometimes dandere). And if I remember correctly the spoiler I heard once, then she could also be one of my favorite mythological archetypes, the "universal mother goddess".

I'm not going to buy a Racing Miku. Let's be honest. They always look so cool, but they're $80, instead of the usual $50-$60, because they're supposed to support Good Smile's racing team. But damn, this mint green fairy is cute! I thought it hurt to pass up the knight themed Racing Miku. But this is adorable! ;w; And I had needed a green female Nendoroid for my rainbow figure photos.

I was flabbergasted when I saw the Lum Nendoroid and the Rinne Nendoroid. I thought it might be a hoax, a different figure line from Nendoroid, or maybe even from years ago, long out of print. But it's actually just one of those Nenodroids made by a different company; Good Smile only does the distribution. (Like Tomytec's Wixoss Nendoroids.) So it's not even on Good Smile's WHL4U website, which catalogs all their WonFes announcements. It might be too easy to not realize when these are even released. But I absolutely have to support Rumiko Takahashi Nendoroids. I'm more a Ranma 1/2 fan, than Urusei Yatsura, and I've barely read much Rin-ne. But if we support these, then maybe Play Future will make some Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha, or Maison Ikkoku Nendoroids. I would go nutz if Mermaid Saga Nendoroids were ever announced.

The kimono Nendoroids for Puella Magi Madoka Magica are an absolute buy. I never thought I wanted more than just Homura and Madoka, but if all the girls are going to get kimono Nendorids, then it's a good time to get the entire Holy Quintet. ^-^

Last but not least, Nendoroid More sets for Halloween and Christmas. I really hope these are Dress-up sets and not just some accessories. I'm a clay crafter; I can make little accessories on my own. So these better be full-blown outfits. Halloween is my favorite holiday and these would just be so useful for holiday figure photos. I'm really looking forward to more info about these sets. ^o^

It was a really great WonFes. And right on my birthday, it made the best present. ^u^! Hopefully, despite this long wishlist, I'll be able to keep things civil with my wallet. ^^;
