So, Wonderfest (Short for Wonder Festival) is a bi-annual figure expo in Japan where some of the top companies in the industry set up booths so hobbyists can see the newest figures due out this year and the next. If you remember reading on Shaman King Nation, a Yoh figure was announced last year. Welp, now we have a final prototype!
The following pictures are taken from both comicsoul and a user on myfigurecollection.net:
Wooaahhh! This looks much more detailed than the last shot we got of him! Fully colored, fully…weaponed, and um fully Yoh-ed!
RIO:Bone figures are what I consider to be something between a nendoroid and a figma. They have interchangeable faces, props, and limbs – even hands! So if you don’t like this “tough guy” look Yoh is sporting, don’t worry, if it’s like the other two RIO:bone figures Sentinel has put out, you can change it!
Well that about wraps that u– WAIT WHO’S THAT BEHIND HIM?!
OH SHIT WE’RE GETTING A HAO TOO!
Good thing that if you get these on sale they’ll only be about 3000yen each, so you can afford to get both! We will probably have more info at the Summer Wonder Festival (the next one). I haven’t seen Sentinel at too many other shows with the RIO:bones. They also do PVC figures, so maybe there’s a chance for those, too!
What do you guys think? Is this a good enough start? For my fellow figure enthusiasts, what other companies would you like to see jump into the fray?
Honestly, I don’t care. Just give me a goddamn Ren figure.

Just passing by to post some additional info about the Yoh figure.
– It will be released this summer, though the exact month is still unknown.
– Preorders will start in March, so if you want one, keep alert.
– The price hasn’t been decided yet, but it will be something between 3000 and 6000 yen.
– If it sells well they will most likely release more characters, since that’s what they’re aiming for.
– Just like Jezzy said, you can change his angry face to smiling Yoh or serious Yoh!
And as a little omake for you, another Takei character was displayed at Wonfes (though they didn’t even promote it!!!)
It’s a Crane garage kit!!! Wow, Is Jumbor finally getting some well-deserved recognition?
