Woot! That said, I feel a little underwhelmed by the pose. It's a tad awkward despite its attempts at dynamism. The wait for a Siesta figure is finally over! Woot!

I like Siesta so I'll probably pick this one up if I have the cash. Finally a figure of someone other than bitchy Louise. I like Siesta so I’ll probably pick this one up if I have the cash.

It's "boringly pretty," which describes most Alter figures, but in the end I don't know if I'll end up getting it. Figures really have to wow me (or be a Nanoha-related figure) for me to preorder them. I've never really liked Siesta and I'm not that big a fan of Zero no Tsukaima in general (even less after watching season 2). Plus, that 5500+ yen price tag is too much for it. If it were under 5000 yen, then I'd be more inclined to get it, but I'm pretty sure there will be other figures (or DVDs) my money can go towards.
