This past weekend was Wonder Fest 2014 in Tokyo, Japan and Medicom was there to show off many of their new action figures. One of the sections of their booth was dedicated to the new MAFEX line that Medicom started about a year ago. Included in that display was their upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 MAFEX action […]

Alter had a relatively subdued showing at Wonder Festival, with most of their offering being their already released figures with a twist of a "version 2" appearing with slightly altered poses and appearances. The Strike Witches figures look to be the first ones to get edits, with Lynette and Yoshika having some slight changes made to their base figures.
But there were some new figures on show. Labrys showed up fully painted and with a panel to explain her replaceable arm. We also get a few figures from PSP game Dungeon Travellers 2 and Hozuki Ferrari from Galilei Donna (which is pretty much the only character who actually meant anything by the end of that show) and a look at the Altair figures of the guys from Free!
However, for me, the most interesting items on display were the figures of Aliase from Valkyria Chronicles 2 and the announcement of a Black Heart figure from Hyperdimension Neptunia. After seemingly following the line and releasing figures which lack the spark and dynamic feel of their older releases, Aliase shows us that Alter are still able to make figures which really impress with their detail and dynamic posing (and will probably be expensive as heck!). As for Black Heart, we only get a banner for now, but Wing recently did an OK job with Purple Heart but if Alter can create a figure of Black Heart with all the additional parts and a pose like those seen in their earlier Nanoha figures, that could be something special!!

Thanks to good ol' Snakas who has posted out of box images of the Art Storm EM M-04 Transformers Roadbuster that pays homage to the Generation 1 Roadbuster character. Get a look at the figure from unboxing, to robot mode, and comparison shots with the original Transformers G1 Roadbuster figures in the gallery now.
Thanks to TagHobby who has revealed a new solicitation is out ofr the Takara Tomy Transformers Movie Advance Series AD01 Optimus Prime Premium Edition figure. This is clearly an all new model from the Lost Age Premium figure that appears to have more detailing and better paint apps. The figure listed for a May release at a price of 7,500 JPY / $73 USD that suggests this is in the leader class range, but could be something else as prices change so quickly these days. See the solicitation image below for the full preview.
Thanks to Snakas who continues the Wonder Festival 2014 coverage with another new reveal from Prime 1 Studio. Behold the next statue project will be the MMTFM-03 Bumblebee figure, we're assuming is also from the Transformers Dark of the Moon series. Get a look at the prototype version of the robot mode while we wait for the Prime 1 Studio folks to make their official announcement with more details.
