Wonderfest Retrospective Part 9: 2004 Superlink Misha Doll

Oh... ho ho ho. Kit Factory took a poll at the end of 2003 if Japanese fans would be interested in a doll casted after Transformers Superlink Misha. Needless to say they were very positive about the idea. The doll is amazing and a riot on many different levels (Get a load of the bootylicious boxart) . It sold at Wonderfest 2004 for 15000 yen.
Misha came fully assembled and painted. Removable boots, a diecast belt with removable belt pack, the wrist bands are also diecast, it also came with 3 pegs that I don't know what to do with for the life of me and the uniform is also removable via a zipper on the back. The funny part? This mold is cast from the typical "squishy boobs" doll type, so if you need to give Misha a breast examination, you can!

This is not Kit Factory's first shot at the Misha character. In late 2003 for the Wonderfest Winter event, they sold a Microman / Microlady Misha, dubbed Misha Bust. While they were selling these is when they took the poll about a Misha doll. A lot of Misha love huh?

Wonderfest Retrospective Part 8: 2005 Superlink Misha Statue

Ah Superlink (known to the filthy Gaijin as Energon,..... I kid I kid....). The Transformers series that gave us tons of human female characters that even makes Transformers Kissplayers a little nervous. Leading the pack was Misha Miramond. She was super popular in Japan and spawned tons of Wonderfest related merchendise between 2005-2006. So today we start with the Wonderfest 2005 Misha Resin Kit Statue. Originally sold for 3000 Yen.
Like most resin kits, she is molded in solid white resin, has to be assembled and painted but sadly she is advertised with 2 variations you can go about it; her typical Cybertron City yellow space suit or her one shot motorcycle racing outfit (seen in "Special Traninig! Roadbuster! Episode 34 of Superlink). Why I say sadly? Cause you only can pick one and you have to stick with that. I weep a single tear.


Scaled at 1/15, this figure goes nicely with the Microman release of Kicker from the same year and is a super sexy piece of resin. I wish this was more mass produced and put out there for the whole fandom to enjoy. More Misha to come later. For now enjoy your weekend people! See ya Monday!
