Hatsune Miku's wedding dress is just the most beautiful thing (Wonderfest 2018)

News by Matt S.

Over the weekend Japan played host to Wonder Festival. Right up there with things I desperately want to do in Japan at some stage before I depart this dear Earth, Wonder Festival is like Tokyo Game Show, but for the figures industry. It's when the likes of Good Smile Company, Max Factory and so on show off what they've got in production, and what fans will be buying in droves in the near future.

Hundreds of anime figures from just about every franchise you can imagine get displayed at this event every year. Of course, what I'm interested in is Hatsune Miku. I promised myself I wouldn't go out of my way to buy figures that weren't Miku because otherwise this hobby would become too damn expensive. I've broken my rule at points, but for the purposes of Wonder Festival, I do focus heavily on the new Miku figures that are announced and displayed.

This year is the best of all! Hatsune Miku's glorious wedding dress! It's only a grey sculpt figure at this stage (a pre-coloured design to show a work in progress), but it's already just the most beautiful thing (unless otherwise noted, photos found on MikuFan).
