There haven't been a lot of official Tales figures lately, but these custom made ones sure are a treat to the eyes.
Wonder Festival is a semi-annual (Winter and Summer) convention in Japan that mainly features displays and announcements of any upcoming figures from major manufacturing companies such as GoodSmile, Alter and Kotobukiya. WonFes is also a place where hobbyists who make their own figures or garage kits can display or sell their works.
For this Winter Wonder Festival 2020 being held today, February 9, the only main announcement we got from the official companies is that Water Armatization Sorey from Kotobukiya. Hobbyists however have put up an impressive display of their figures, and they look stunning.
First off is this wonderful Tales of Legendia Jay figure by @pomesuko_suko.

Tales of Legendia is the seventh mothership title of the series which was released for the PlayStation 2. The game features character designs by Kazuto Nakazawa. The music, composed by Go Shiina, is highly praised within the community and is arguably considered the best within the series. The game follows the story of Senel and his sister Shirley and features heavy themes of the sea/ocean. The game was released in Japan within the same year as Tales of the Abyss.
Tales of Vesperia is the tenth mothership title of the series initially released for the Xbox 360. The Japanese and North American English localization release dates of the game were within the same month, a first in the entire series. It later got ported to the PlayStation 3 with additional features, but this never got an English release. An updated version known as “Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition” will be released for both Japan & the West in Winter 2018. Vesperia tells the story of Yuri, a former Imperial Knight. A movie called Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike was later released which tells the story of Yuri prior to the game’s events.
