Licensed SEGA partners unveiled a huge figure lineup on the Wonfes 2016 Winter (a hobby model kits and toy figure event by Kaiyodo where Japanese Manufacturers unveil their upcoming lineups per season) event this Sunday in Japan. SEGA Games and SEGA Interactive have been very efficient in terms of merchandising licensing during the past 3 years, it has also become a good source of income besides the games sector, so its no surprise that more and more brands are interested in more releases and SEGA participating in every edition.
