90? More like 180+ (that's not even everything). GSC is a fairly massive company with a very wide umbrella that covers Max Factory, Phat, Freeing, Orange Rouge, 3A/ThreeZero, Gift, Wing, and others. Between all of the companies that GSC distributes they really outdid themselves this year.

Though sadly, with that much new stuff announced, I only have seven things (all figma) I'm interested in.

figma Hatsune Miku V4X
Fate/EXTELLA figma Nero Claudius
Fate/Grand Order figma Jeanne d'Arc
Fate/Grand Order figma Cú Chulainn
Fate/Grand Order figma Scáthach
Shin Megami Tensei figma Angel
figma Higma

Happy to see some Gash Bell figures. Victoreem-sama no less. Folgore is also definate preorder.

Finally some YGO figures that aren't DM related. Judai looks great. Shame we'll have to probably another ten years to get any of the girls, though.

Suiren getting a figure before Mao makes me sad, but she's rediculous!y popular. Also a bit miffed they're skipping Hikari and Serena in favor of a Lillie figure in the G.E.M line.

Lots of great stuff to look forward to.

I cant believe they have 7 Yuri on Ice nendos of only 3 characters. (And probably the scales they announced but its unknown how many of those or who they are yet) RIP Otabek.

I expected them to announce more YOI nendos since they've been so incredibly successful, but it was unexpected that they decided to go for alternate versions so soon instead of branching out to new characters. But then again, for the Haikyuu line the pair that came out after Hinata and Kageyama was also a pair of alternat versions for the same boys and only after that did we get all the other ones, so maybe Phichit, JJ and Otabek will come afterwards. And anyway, that concept art for casual Yuuri looks adorable.

It was a very disappointing wonfes for me though. Too much Fate, a billion Saberfaces and way too many Touken Ranbu announcements. I like the designs from that franchise, but at this point it's just exhausting to see they're doing yet five more sword boy Nendoroids. Apart from these YOI nendo, there was not a single new announcement that excited me and even updates of figures I'm interested in were scarce: just the Syaoran and Utena figmas. Nothing on any Yuuri scales, or Aniplex's Kanda scale, or Hobbymax's Yue. And i was also stubbornly hoping they would announce YOI figma, but that was a bust too. Gotta wait for february and hope it'll be better -__-

No!!! How will you colour Nero's skirt translucent? Though seriously, I probably won't buy any anytime soon, too poor right now...

Yeah the most exciting news for me was GSC basically going "oh yeah btw we're also working on YoI scales of some kind" which isn't much of an announcement. I thank god everyday that a didn't fall into swordboys hell honestly.

Didn't they already release a Serena in the line? Or was that a different line of figures?

I'm really stoked about the Rayearth figmas, although so far I'm not seeing Best-Girl Hououji Fuu which is giving me many sad faces. Most of what's been released of Rayearth has been character statues or the long sought after SEGA Kodansha dolls from '95. It's good to see that some of these older series haven't completely died off in terms of new products.

Ah, OMG, yes. I don't know if I'll be getting the casual Yuuri nendo (and I won't be getting the Yuri P nendo), but I totally bought Eros!Yuuri, Stammi!Victor, and just pre-ordered the Free Skate version of Yuuri last night. My Eros!Yuuri nendo just arrived at my place yesterday, which was exciting because it's my first nendo purchase.

But, yeah, what I'm really waiting for is an announcement of any Yuuri scales or figmas. Once again, if any are announced, that will probably be my first figma purchase. I've been holding off on purchasing either of the two Victor ones (coach Victor on the bench has a weird looking face, and the skating Victor is pretty, but I'd rather save money for my boy Yuuri or figures that are wearing more than just plain black clothes).

------

@I_Drive_DSM - Best-Girl Hououji Fuu FTW! *high five* Yes, I would love to buy her figma as well.
