On February 10th, Figurama Collectors participated as an honored guest at the Winter Wonder Festival in Japan—the largest convention for figurine manufacturers and collectors in the world. Thousands of attendees from all around the world gathered at the Figurama Collectors booth to take up-close photographs of our statues and compete in our Hunter x Hunter Treasure Hunt Quest statue giveaway.

Read on for the exciting highlights of our most successful Wonder Festival yet!

Hunter x Hunter: Netero VS Meruem Elite Fandom Statue Revealed

Figurama Collectors revealed the long-anticipated Hunter x Hunter Elite Fandom Statue. Conceptualized by Jarold Sng with creative direction by the Figurama Collectors Development Team, sculpted by Keita Okada, and painted by Three Eyes Studio, the statue received high praise from Wonder Festival photographers, collectors, fans, and critics.

In their premiere review of the Hunter x Hunter Elite Fandom Statue, RaddTitan described it as “Very intricate, with loads of detail and textures. Meruem has dirt on the back of his feet. Netero has liver spots underneath his skin, like an older gentleman. He has tougher-looking skin around his knees and elbows. His socks are dirty. The anime and manga have a slightly different style. The manga is a lot more realistic and the anime is more cartoony. This statue is a balance, which is very hard to get right—keeping fans happy while also being true to the source material.”

MCE emphasized the sheer size of the Hunter x Hunter statue, saying, “This piece is big—very, very, very big piece. The hand in the front is as big as mine. I would say it’s even bigger than Devilman vs Amon. This is one of those statues you put on a pedestal.”

Attack on Titan: Eren VS Armored Titan Elite Exclusive Statue Revealed

Created by the same award-winning team as Devilman VS Amon (Jarold Sng –concept artist, Caleb Nefzen—sculptor, Hellpainter—painter, and the Figurama Collectors Development Team), the Attack on Titan Elite Exclusive Statue made its premiere reveal at Wonder Festival, receiving thousands of photographs from lines of fans. RaddTitan and MCE filmed interviews with CEO Shanab and sculptor Caleb Nefzen about Figurama Collectors largest-scaled piece yet.

In describing the completed Attack on Titan Elite Exclusive Statue, Caleb Nefzen said, “It surpassed my expectations. Shanab knows my taste quite well and said that this license would be perfect for me. I had to watch the anime and I fell in love even more with the piece. I put all my fire into it. It’s very powerful, very dynamic, and that’s why I enjoy it so much.”

Live Signings by Figurama CEO, Mr. Shanab, and Sculptors Keita Okada and Caleb Nefzen

In a record-first, Figurama Collectors hosted a live signing session for the statue certificates of authenticity, featuring Mr. Shanab (CEO of Figurama Collectors), Kieta Okada (sculptor of the Hunter x Hunter Elite Fandom Statue), and Caleb Nefzen (sculptor of the Attack on Titan Elite Exclusive Statue). Every collector who purchases the Attack on Titan Elite Exclusive Statue or the Hunter x Hunter Elite Fandom Statue will receive one of these signed certificates.
