Wonder Festival 2014 Summer: Volks

0
0

If there was any doubt about what Volks will be focusing for their future revenue streams before, this Wonder festival pretty much snuffed it out. after shuttering down the resin kit lines and slowing down news in general, it's become clear that they're banking completely on their Dollfie and Charagumin lines for their business profits. 

This isn't a bad thing in itself but there are some concerns which may pop up later, such as the increased cost of using colour resin or the like but since charagumin is the focus for Volks at the moment, that's what we got a lot of! Many of the kits on display are returners who have been seen at previous events numerous times. Illya from Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya and Asuka from Evangelion 3.0 were shown in their completed forms and are relatively new additions but Volks have been showing them off on their website for some time so they don't feel new! Isara from Valkyria Chronicles is edging closer to completion but isn't there yet and I feel that I have to give Volks some credit for jumping on and making figures for shows before they make it big! Older collectors may remember that they were among the first companies to release a Hatsune Miku figure (or kit, in their case) and this was before the software was even released to the Japanese masses! Now, it looks like they've hit paydirt again with their early support of Love Live and Rail Wars! Love Live was supported early and now have gone through most of the cast! The kit of Sakurai Aoi from Rail Wars was first announced when the title was still just a light novel!  Volks definitely seems to have an eye for likely breakout hits!

In any case, it was a pretty quiet show from Volks otherwise, although Kris told us that they held a workshop to help people get the most out of their charagumin figures, which was a nice touch. Eagle eyed readers may also notice an announcement of a kit of Hana from Captain Earth as well as possibly an Earth Engine Impactor kit as well. I guess we'll have to wait until Hobby Round to see what else they have up their sleeves in terms of figures and kits. Their next Dollpa should handle their other revenue stream... 

Still, I'm hoping for another massively impressive 1/4 scale kit to blow me away. They've done it before so it's not outside the realm of possibility! Although I've pretty much given up hope on seeing the Selvaria Bles they teased back in Hobby Round 9

Transformers 4: Age of Extinction Makes A Billion Dollars Worldwide

0
Box Office Mojo reports that Age of Extinction has crossed the Billion-dollar mark and is now the nineteenth highest-grossing film of all time. It's a solid 12 places behind Dark of the Moon, which is seventh ahead a varied spread of more deserving films- but the difference is "only" 120 million or so, so AoE could well catch up. Down over a hundred million domestically from DotM, TF4 also derived a lot more of its income from foreign releases- especially its record-breaking run in China.

Next Generations Legends Assortment Sighted In Phillipines - Gears, Acid Storm, Cliffjumper, and Nemesis Prime

A member of the 2005 boards has spotted the next Legends wave in the Phillipines, meaning it's possibly not far off from US stores. Gears is a remold of the recent Swerve; Nemesis Prime, Cliffjumper, and Acid Storm are recolors of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Starscream respectively. This is believed to be the final wave of Legends to be paired with a Mini-Con partner, but this will be compensated for by making future Legends like Powerglide partners themselves in the upcoming Combiner Wars theme.
