There is a lot of new PVC at Wonder Festival, but over half the event is dedicated to garage kits. Lots of garage kits. Rows and rows of endless beautiful resin. We’ve already seen some of the individual kits like Yagyuu Toshiyuki’s Miku, the Pajama Saber, Nyanko Miku, Ultimate Homura, Orbit Miku, Tora Zettai, Elizabeth & Thanatos, Orbit Miku, Labrys and Nanako (phew!) along with the offerings of companies like T’s System and Cerberus Project.
But of course there are more kits at the event–a lot more, so many that we could post one every half hour for the week leading up to Wonder Festival and not even be halfway through all the goodies at the event! Like last year, we’ve picked out some of our favorites for you (and by “some” I mean over 60) and compiled a gallery of these beauties. Each image has the name of the circle along with the character, in case you were looking to purchase them! We’ve got some real stunners this time around, and while trends clearly favor Miku like usual we have a lot of Sword Art Online and quite a few Persona figures–including Persona 3‘s Chidori! Check them all out and more in the gallery below.

That’s right, we got our last November shipment yesterday and our loot post is all ready to go. Mostly thanks to Stephen having a new computer which has really streamlined the photo process.</p> <p>Anywho, November was a particularly packed month for figures. Seriously, almost as much as <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/plastikitty-loot-september-october-2012" >September & October together</a>! This is mostly because after some Nendoroid- and figma-light months we ended up getting seemingly a year’s worth of both in one box. Oh AmiAmi, you are the best at box tetris! Hit the jump to check out everything we got.</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/November2012LootHeader.jpg "Plastikitty Loot: November 2012")

This week we’ve got quite a few goodies: some beautiful ladies, an adorable idol, a few throwbacks, and a handful of boys! Oh and of course the necessary handful of Nendoroids. Check them all out after the jump!</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/Roundup107Header.jpg "PVC Pre-Order Roundup: 10/7~10/11")

She looked, well, unfinished, and I suppose she was because the prototype Mikatan is previewing is a hundred times better than what we saw at the event! Leo’s sculpt is very nicely detailed, especially her top and weapons. Though I can’t help thinking how much space that pose is going to take up!</p> <p>While I do love everything about this figure from the coloring to the gorgeous face, she does look really odd next to <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/good-smile-companys-18-millhiore-lets-me-down" target="_blank">Millhi</a>–like they’re not even from the same line! Their poses contrast really oddly to my eyes. But that certainly won’t stop me from ordering her, I rarely display figures in the “correct” sets anyway! Leo is set to go up for order on the 12th.</p> <p>[via<a href="http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2012/10/10/leonmitchelli-galette-des-rois/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://mikatan.goodsmile.info']);" target="_blank"> Mikatan</a>]</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/GSCLeoPreviewHeader.jpg "GSC’s Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois Is Ready To Kick Butt")

And, yes, it’s only ladies this week. Not a boy in sight, not even in figma form! Well, there actually aren’t any figmas at all. Just kidding, there is a guy who showed up very last minute! A very manly man, and we do also have quite a few Nendoroids, a ton of busty ladies, one loli in a sea of boobs, the goofiest shoe-themed figure I’ve ever seen, and more. So check it all out after the jump!</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/Roundup104Header.jpg "PVC Pre-Order Roundup: 9/31~10/4")
![<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-30351 slb_group[30350] slb slb_internal" href="http://www.plastikitty.com/?attachment_id=30351"></a></p> <p>Just a few days ago, Mikatan gave us <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/nendoroid-leonmitchelli-galette-des-rois-comes-with-a-feathered-friend" target="_blank">a sneak peak</a> of Nendoroid Leonmitchelli and her feathered friend. She was first spotted <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/summer-wonder-festival-2012-anime-manga-nendoroids" target="_blank">at WonFest</a>, and now she’s ready for orders! Like many new Nendoroids, she comes with an absolute ton of accessories. She’s got three faces (happy, yelling, and a nyan-face), and three weapons (sword, shield, and her battleaxe Granvale). You’ll also get an Emblem Arts effect part along with, of course, her feathered ride Daumas.</p> <p>There are quite a few shots of her with Millhiore, and they look awesome together! I almost forgot that Leo is actually the third Dog Days Nendoroid: <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/check-out-the-studious-ricotta-almar-nendoroid" target="_blank">Ricotta</a> kind of pales in comparison to all the goodies these two with them. Leo went up for order already, for the steep price of ¥4,500. That bird ride sure costs a lot! She’ll come out in March. I guess companies are finally moving on from February!</p> <p>[via <a href="http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2012/10/02/nendoroid-leonmitchelli/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://mikatan.goodsmile.info']);" target="_blank">Mikatan</a>]</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/NendoLeoHeader.jpg "Nendoroid Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois from Dog Days")

Biscotti has gotten a ton of attention recently, but the busty Leonmitchelli is gaining on her with a <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/pvc-pre-order-roundup-318322" target="_blank">figma</a>, <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/summer-wonder-festival-2012-anime-manga-nendoroids" target="_blank">Nendoroid</a>, and <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/summer-wonder-festival-2012-the-ladies-of-gsc" target="_blank">scaled</a> figure as well! <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/pvc-pre-order-roundup-for-88812" target="_blank">Millhi’s Nendoroid</a> came with a chocobo-like companion, and I think we were all hoping for something similar with Leo. Well, ask and you shall receive! We should be getting a full preview of Leo next week, but right now we know one thing for sure: she’s got her own feathered ride, a rather imposing black giant chicken. While this is certainly going to jack up the price on this set, I can’t wait to get another one of these oddities for my Nendoroids to ride around on!</p> <p>[via <a href="http://twitpic.com/azgfea" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://twitpic.com']);" target="_blank">Mikatan's Twitter</a>]</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/NendoLeoPreviewHeader.jpg "Nendoroid Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois Comes With A Feathered Friend")

Well, technically we got to July as soon as possible. AmiAmi decided to combine half of our July with our August stuff–the end of August to boot, so we had to wait a whole month for some of these beauties! Of course, we’re never really in a huge rush to get figures–we prefer to get them in small batches, so I can open one at a time and admire them all individually. So who did we get in our July order?

But don’t fear, we’re back in business this week! There are quite a few boys this time around, both new and old. While we have no figmas Good Smile makes up for it with three Nendoroids, as well as some cute smaller figures from their umbrella companies. Then, of course, we have the girls: tall girls, tiny girls, ghost girls, they’re all in here, so hit the jump and let’s get started!</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/Roundup823Header.jpg "PVC Pre-Order Roundup: 8/19~8/23")

The only real news was <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/gsc-announces-magical-suite-prism-nana-nendoroids" target="_blank">the Magical Suite Prism Nana Nendoroids</a>, but of course there were lots of other figures there. Most of them were things we just saw at WonFest, including the <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/summer-wonder-festival-2012-anime-manga-nendoroids" target="_blank">anime</a> and <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/summer-wonder-festival-2012-game-nendoroids" target="_blank">game</a> Nendoroids, along with several <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/summer-wonder-festival-2012-figmas-galore" target="_blank">figmas</a>. <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/type-moon-fest-nendoroid-aoko-aozaki" target="_blank">Nendoroid Aoko Aozaki</a> was also on display, along with <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/gift-teases-wonfest-goods-picks-up-satoshis-homura" target="_blank">Gift’s Homura</a>. The other new announcements were Phat! Company’s adorable<em> Cinderella Girls</em> minifigures, and a new set of Soniko keychains.
