Wonderfest 2006 had some large scale exhibits this year including some 1:1 scale guns, both real world and fictional designs.? Now that’s a gun!??
Every Wonderfest?offers an exclusive line of resin kits called the A-Brand line.? This year’s A-Brand?line offerings include?some impressive 1/4th scale figures.?? At right is the Replicant magazine cover girl for Wonderfest 2006:?Yamamoto Isoroku from Volks.? (Warning: Images NSFW)??? The complete figure?stands at an amazing 55cm tall and, obviously, features some?removable clothing. :)?
?
Sexy female archers seems to be a running theme for the large scale lines.? Pictured at right is Mina from the fighting game Samurai Shodown.? Again, some clothing is optional. ;)? That thing dwarfs the Mina trading figure that I have. :)? Too bad they didn’t have a version painted up for the show
If cost, display space and my cat weren’t an issue, I’d jump at the chance to do a quarter scale kit!

She seems to have some sort of cake topping where her nipples should be. Curious. That seems to be an epidemic with Japanese figures.
It’s a delicacy, I’m told.
…and you ever notice that some Japanese vendors and figure collectors in various photos suffer from the same facial deformity? Very odd.
I pulled out the tape measure to better visual 55cm. Man, she’s HUGE! She’d make one HELL of a replacement for a garden gnome.
Yeah, I wish there was more 1/4 or 1/2 or 1/1 stuff. And that it would only cost $60. And that I was a millionaire and never had to do any work. And that I knew all the secrets of the universe. All are equally likely.
Hobbyfan is selling her for about $158 US which isn’t too bad considering what you get and how limited the A-brand production numbers are.
Purchasing her would blow my hobby budget out the window though, and that’s not including the cost of supplies needed to finish her. I could get a couple of figure kits or several PVC figures over time for what she’s going for. But man, she’d make a fine flagship piece for a collection.
