The Official Good Smile Company YouTube Channel featuring the TV commercials, reviews and updates of the latest figures!
A few hours ago, Good Smile started uploading 30min-60min chunks of their WonFes2019summer night livestream. This is the first time I remember them doing this. The videos separate the several-hour original livestream into segments, by subject. Might be kind of convenient. But it looks like they took down the full length livestream. But what if someone wanted to watch the full thing? It was already posted anyway. o.o?
Time to round up WonFes2019summer announcements that might soon become my purchases.
The last WonFes really spoiled me. It was my first time turning my WonFes wishlist into a bingo card, and I got 7 wished figures announced, including my "Instant Winner". o_O In retrospect, that was pretty crazy and rare. So I'm not upset getting only 2 (2.5?) spots on my bingo card fulfilled, this WonFes. This seems more realistic anyway.
But I'm really surprised no new Nendoroid More were announced. That's usually a sure-thing! That's why I made it my bingo card's "Free Space". ^^; Ah, well.
And I'm not too upset about my Instant Winner and secondary Instant Winner (Nendoroid school uniform Ryuji Sakamoto) not getting announced. Because so many signs for a while now have pointed to those becoming inevitable eventually anyway. So I'm sure that they'll be announced at some point, even if not during a WonFes.
I'm satisfied with WonFes2019summer, mostly because of the Nendoroid Natsume Takashi announcement. That was so good, that it made my WonFes! ^u^ It felt like an Instant Winner, even though I wanted a school uniform AkiRen more. Natsume Yuujinchou Nendoroids felt like such a long-shot, that I had been putting them onto my wishlists for years, more to demonstrate my favorite characters, rather than in hoping or expecting anything. But now that they're actually announced, I practically had a heart attack. I was gasping for air, I was so happy. So no more custom-Nendo Natsume for me! The real thing is on the way! ^U^!!!!!!!
I'm a little undecided about the Figma Styles. I mean, the Speedo Figma would make a good drawing model. The yellow bikini Figma would be a nice color option vs the previous black bikini. And I'm so interested in yukata that I had almost put Figma yukata onto my bingo card. But...I'm a crafter. If the official Figma yukata are just fabric, then I should make that myself. And I already have a lot of drawing models: Figma Archetype He & She, Figma Archetype Next He & She, S.H. Figuarts Body-kun (original and Takarai Rihito Edition), S.H. Figuarts Body-chan (original and Yabuki Kentarou Edition), plus Figma Makoto Tachibana and Figma Haruka Nanase. And I just got both the male and female first versions of the Figma Swimsuit Body. I really shouldn't get more. ...But I'm a completionist. ^^;;;;;;;;;
I'm still not sure if I should check off Nendoroid Dante on my bingo card, since I wanted the DMC3 version but a DMC5 version was announced. But my bingo card was looking so empty, I thought I may as well check it off (for now).
All in all, a good WonFes. Not too many things to get me hyperventilating, like other past WonFes, but at least that means my wallet will have time to recover. Besides, with all the Persona 5 Nendoroid/Figma announced during the past 2 WonFes, I went into this one, pretty satiated already. So that Nendoroid Natsume announcement, put me over the top. ^-^ I'm pretty sure my some of my other wished figures, like school uniform Persona 5 Nendoroids and a Nendoroid Macrophage, will happen eventually. Maybe even soon. So this was a good Wonfes. Thanks, 2019 summer! ^_^
Good Smile Company’s night time livestream during Wonder Festival 2019 Summer. This features some close-ups with new figures and footage from their WonFes booth.
To end WHL4U30's stage shows for the day, the CEO of Max Factory came out to join the cheer "Wonderful Hobby Life for You!". Usually, it's both the CEOs of Max Factory and Good Smile Company, but GSC's CEO was absent.
And that was the end of the afternoon livestream.
Strangely, the video is still up on YouTube. For the last few Wonder Festivals, it's been copyright striked and taken down almost immediately, never to be seen again, despite the stage shows being so much fun and a part of the GSC WonFes experience. ;_; But this time, for WonFes2019summer, it's still up! *o* So please do enjoy it at https://youtu.be/j88aI1jOWXs
And don't forget WHL4U30's night time livestream from the Good Smile Company offices at https://youtu.be/LJ3o4W6amt8

It has links to watch it on YouTube, Nico Nico Douga, and Periscope.
There are also descriptions of each panel's time, guests, and series covered.
Enjoy the trailers in between panels, and don't forget the night livestream later! ^o^
Happy figure collecting! ^u^
WHL4U30 stage show just finished a Thunderbolt Fantasy panel.
I really should be watching this show. It’s written by Gen Urobuchi and has music from TM Revolution / Takanori Nishikawa! ;o;
The seiyuu playing opposite Nishikawa’s character wasn’t there, but she left an audio message for the panel. It was so long that the MC started laughing midway. ^.^;
They announced a Nendoroid for Nishikawa’s character Làng Wū Yáo.
And of course, can’t end the panel without everyone cheering “Wonderful Hobby Life For YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!” ^_^
