As part of their second announcement, Alter will be releasing a figure of Momohime from the critically acclaimed Wii game, Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Standing on top of a beautiful base of rock and water, she can be posed with her sword sheathed or unsheathed. The figure was shown earlier this year at the Winter Wonder Festival and will be released in July 2010 for approximately 8,190 yen.

Figure company Alter has officially released new information on several new figures that were originally seen earlier this year at the Winter Wonder Festival. Continuing their Magical Lyrical Girl Nanoha figure line, Alter is releasing a beautifully painted and sculpted figure of Vivio Takamachi's adult form. From the airbrushed thighs, the shiny boots and waist armor, to the carefully sculpted twists and curls of her hair, this is turning into one fantastic figure. It's unfortunate though to see that after several years, Alter still continues to release their figures with their plain bases.She will be released in July 2010 for roughly 8,190 yen.

Figure maker Wave will be releasing figures of Konata and Kagami from the series Lucky Star as part of their Beach Queens series. Wave has been a mixed bag in terms of the quality of their sculpts; however, these two are shaping up nicely. each figure with come with what appears to be an interchangeable head. Konata will come with a beach ball accessory while Kagami will come with a popsicle and a pink life saver.They will be available this coming August for roughly 3,800 yen each. More pictures inside.

It's that time again folks, one the largest figure and hobby show, Wonderfest is in full swing and we'll be providing you up to date photos and links from various websites organized here for your convenience. Like our previous Wonderfest coverage, we take no credit for any of the links listed, and belong to their respective news site. Enough with the idle chatter, and onwards to the new figures!

Make sure to come back and check this post frequently for updates.

Although not exactly figure news, anime good and apparel maker Cospla will be releasing plushies of the Messengers from gender bender series, Kampfer. Interested cosplayers and buyers can simply pick up one of these adorable animals with their entrails hanging out for roughly 3,000 yen this coming May.

Unfortunately, these plushies will not turn their owners into well endowed psychic females, sorry guys.
