Not very surprising, Senran Kagura is still a pretty niche series. However, all the butthurt on /skg/ over the news really put me in a foul mood. Figures are niche in general. I dont know if they'll go back to them in the winter wonderfes but going from Hibari to Katsuragi and then they were planning to jump to Yagyuu is not smart by any means. You dont need hindsight to know that is a stupid move from a business perspective. They really couldnt do Yumi or fuck, anybody in the Crimson Squad?

Because doesn't cater to the people on the message boards? If they picked those characters is because they sell. Not for nothing Katsuragi has so many figures released while Yumi has none.

Katsuragi has many figures for a reason, her being one of the first characters and all and in the anime. A good majority arent even good. The phat one being her only good one. But note that not once did her or Hibari did not break amazon's top 100 the week they were up for preorder while Ikaruga did. Probably didnt make a lot of them. I think charaani is just going through the Hanzo characters, they started with them because Asuka is the main. It's a stupid practice, they should be mixing it up with characters instead of potentially killing interest. Katsuragi's two other figures are STILL up on amiami for purchase, not out of stock. I dont know where you're getting this message board thing, you know Yumi is the most popular character, she would most definitely sell more than katsuragi, most characters in this series would. There was a lot of time between Asuka's and Ikaruga's release and the Hibari one (over a year) so it could pick up again next year, the art not being there is discouraging, probably showing they werent selling. Butthurt is completely, 100% validated.

using new wave art for figures is a pretty cool idea. i hope yumi and ikaruga do well. might even get in on those myself if they look good enough

Butthurt is completely, 100% validated. You're making an awfully lot of assumptions. The only things we can know for sure is that Katsuragi was picked for so many figures because she sells, if Yumi or another character would been a better investement then you can bet your ass that manufuctarers would've fought to get those prototypes into the market instead of letting them die in the drawing board. The hard truth is that as brand SK is a pretty lowcase and one that doesn't commands a lot of attention from the japanese.

Looks amazing. I'll buy it. Hope it spurs more figures from the series.
Chara-ani really shot itself in the foot terribly with trying to make Hanzo figures with Hibari, Katsuragi, Yagyuu all in a row. Cant really remove the salt from me for them doing that. It was a stupid plan and unneeded. They arent matching figures. They dont need to get bought together like some sort of idol unit set. Katusragi and Hibari arent even sold out yet on their site when it took a lot less time for Ikaruga and Asuka to do so.

Ikagura looks beautiful, sexy and everything. Call me autistic, but where is Dai, Rin and Yomi, to complete the original group? I was expecting more of this WonFes about Senran Kagura, so many missed opportunities, there are really many popular characters that deserve big figurines.

Dai just wouldn't sell well enough to justify. Neither would Rin or Yomi yet, I imagine.

I am glad that they did not forget Ikaruga from the past WonFes, but the point at here is that this WonFes was a disappointment for Senran Kagura in general.
