Once again our third installment of, Figures i bought through out the year! Well i don’t think i’ll get this list finished by the end of the year, not unless if i stay home for the next two days and power write. Which i don’t have time for, i really should be out looking for a job right now, but no here i am writing on my blog. Wow i’m not good at managing my time i guess, oh well here we go!
~Warning this is my longest post ever with 1,621 words!~
E2046’s Gathering
1/7 Suzumiya Haruhi Red Bunny, 1/7 Suzumiya Haruhi Black Bunny

Yes I bought both versions that E2046 had to offer. But i ended up selling the black one to my brother since he wanted it soooooo badly and was willing to pay me way over what E2046 sold it to me for! Now i can honestly say these two are the most expensive figures i’ve ever purchased, and usually I’d regret it by now. I’d think, wow with that money i could have bought a whole bunch of cheaper figures. But in reality i truly think these are the prize of my collection. Yes they did cost me a pretty penny, but the detail, the paint, the pose, the face, the fishnets… All of them combine to make an amazing figure. If anything the only thing i regret is selling off the black one to my brother. I would have loved to just have both ladies standing next to each other. But at least I know she went to a good home, to someone who will honestly appreciate her just as much as I do.
Griffon Enterprise
1/6 Eureka w/Sky Fish, 1/6 Talho

Not much to say really, nothing about these figures really stand out, they are both amazing and look great, they command a presence yet fall to the back. But i do love having them in my collection, the detail is well done, no problems with paint or pose, the faces look just right. They aren’t figures for beauty but more for if you loved Eureka Seven, if you a fan of the show these two ladies are a must have.
Good Smile Company
1/8 Chidori Kaname Swimsuit Ver

My absolute Favorite Full Metal Panic figure ever! This makes up for the horribleness that is the Atelier sai Chidori that I bought. She’s beautiful, and it looks just like Chidori! How can i explain this? I hated the atelier sai figure since it was out of place for the character. Well i love this figure because it suits the character. Come on what was FMP if not pretty girls, guns, mecha and a great story line! My only regret about this figure is i bought her as the display figure at a store, so she didn’t come with a box. I still have the boxes to all my figures, yes it takes up space. Well lets not kid ourselves, it takes up a crapload of space. But i take pride in the fact that i have all these figures and that i also have all of their original boxes…
1/6 Saber Holiday Version

One of my favorite Saber figures that i own. An impulse buy, but a well thought out impulse buy. I had wanted this figure for some time but didn’t really feel like going through the effort of buying her online. So when i saw her decently priced at a local anime store she was all mine! What i love most about this figure is her outfit, it’s sweet and innocent. Plus she was my first removable skirt figure. I was opening her out of the box and noticed that the skirt had plastic over the top. I sat around and trying to just pull the plastic off but i couldn’t so i tugged on her a bit and she came apart! I thought for sure i broke her, i had just bought her and she’s already broken! But then i noticed, “Hey! She’s not broken! You do this to take off her skirt!!!” With an amazing pose and a great innocent yet shy face this Saber is an amazing figure!
1/8 Sumomo Akihime

Sumomo, oh Sumomo I <3 you! from the moment i started watching Nanatsuiro drops i fell in love with Sumomo. I don’t know what it was, the magical girl costume? Her sheep friend who actually is her secret crush? Her shyness yet willingness to persevere? I don’t really know but i loved this character and i just had to have this figure! She really is just so cute, and how she hugs Yuki-chan is just adorable! Only thing i don’t like? Her skirt is removable and yes that usually is a plus, her underwear seems to fall a bit short and it seems like the top of her butt is hanging out. So even though I love removable Skirt figures, I wish she had better underwear on.

Craft Label Death Note Ryuk

My only Death Note figure. I will admit i bought this when i was going through a “OMG DEATH NOTE IS THE BEST SERIES EVAH!” phase, i still love my ryuk. He’s the largest figure in my collection, but it suits him. What i love the best is how he’s made, instead of everything being made out of pvc, he also has some cloth like material on him. All his “clothing” you could say is made of cloth so it gives him some added texture. Plus unlike a normal PVC figure, he’s not smooth, he’s rough and has a dry feeling. For a human figure it would never work, but for our sarcastic apple loving shinagami? It’s perfect.

Ayase Fuka School Uniform

Fuka! oh fuka, She’s not the prettiest of all my girls. she doesn’t have a knock out body, no big boobies, no nice butt. She’s a plain jane, a simple girl nothing to wild about her. She’s kinda drab really, even her pose reminds me of the girls at school who weren’t too pretty, knew they weren’t and just didn’t care. But then thats our fuka! and I wouldn’t have her any other way!
Eclair & Lumiere

Nothing to say about these two really, they were handed down to me from my boyfriend, i’ve never seen kiddy grade. I will say i’m not a fan of the bome series. I hate the packaging, how you have to cut open the box to even open it up! Pain in my ass!
Chidori Kaname & Teresa Testarossa

Another Bome Series, I don’t like the faces on these figures really, But i do like the detailing on the uniforms for each character. It’s a well made sculpt, not problems with the paint. the faces are just off. If you need to have all the figures from FMP i’d say get these instead of ever buying the Atelier sai ones…
Himekuri Image Girl Mode Bianca/Mode Nero

IMPULSE BUYS!!! i bought these cause they were cheap! SUPER CHEAP! HLJj wants $33 for each, I bought both for 35! They are however very cute and very well made figures. For the lolicon in everyone these are must haves.
1/7 OS Idol Win-Chan Ver.2.0

ALERT! I’M AN IMPULSE SHOPPER! Once again HLJ wanted about $33 i got her for $20! WHY I BOUGHT HER? I DON’T KNOW MYSELF!!! But then thats why i’m selling her off on Ebay!
Revoltech Eva-04, Revoltech Yotsuba Koiwai

My two Revoltech figures. Now i know that people seem to love these. I however don’t enjoy joints. I will take a solid PVC figure over a jointed action figure any day. I bought the Eva-04 for sentimental reasons… (my brother names all the computer in the house hold, His two are Eva-00 and Eva- 01, out first family computer was Eva-02 and our second one was Eva-03, his three servers? you guessed it! The three Magi. So what did i get stuck with? Eva-04 of course!) I bought Yotsuba, well because it’s yotsuba! She’s an amazing character! I just had to have her! i will admit that i like how you can pose her and make her do crazy things. But I would still prefer a PVC figure of her to go with Fuka!

Lagann Impact Model

I almost wouldn’t have had the Lagann Model this year. Thanks HLJ for letting me get by on my bills by the skin of my teeth. I don’t exactly have the money right now to still be buying figures but i still had Lagann on my order list. Since he was back-ordered with no new shipment in sight i just assumed i wouldn’t get him till next year. Well i was wrong, just when i had no money left HLj decided to get one in stock and send it to little broke me. I was able to scrap some money together to pay from him and i’m thankful i got him! It’s an amazing model, iv’e been wanting it ever since i saw this image.

1/8 Yoko Ritona

Oh yoko, I Love Yoko so much they could release a horrible figure of her and i’ve still buy it, well unless its from atelier sai. But this is a great figure, best part? if you’re extremely careful… you can remove her top. Well not so much remove but put upwards. Word of warning though. Be extra careful, you can break it off. This is an awesome figure of Yoko but i’m going pre-maturely i’m going to say that i have a feeling that the new 1/7 Yoko will be a bit better than this figure. But for a Gurren Lagann lover like me, I’ll buy them all anyways!

As you know I’m jealous of your Yoko and your Haruhi bunny figures…… but I love the Sumomo figure. Her face is a bit off and the overall figure is more on the average side, but it’s one of my favorite. In fact, it’s on my desk right now. Also, I could have sworn you had more GSC figure.
I’m assuming Max Factory is next up?

i know you think i would have my GSC figures than the three… Next up is Kotobukiya! Going in order!

I kind of wished I had ordered the Sumomo figure. But I prefer if she was wearing her costume than the school uniform.

I see you’re a great fan of FMP ^^
I’m hoping for more FMP figurines,be it Chidori/Tessa or The Armslaves.
