I adore finding figures I’ve been on the hunt for. I have this knack, I guess, of finding rare figures for amazing prices. I found this lovely Kotobukiya Yomiko Readman that I’ve been on the search forever now for $20 from Dirtybeast on Danny Choo’s Classifieds section.

The Classifieds section is really such an awesome idea since people can get rid of PVC beauties they no longer want, and people like me can find rare amazing ladies that others won’t cherish as much as I.

Ever since I saw R.O.D. back when I first got into anime, I’ve wanted this Yomkiko figure and sadly have only come across her when she was being sold at places that wanted way to much for her.

While Kotobukiya’s figure aren’t the best there are a few that i still want for my collection and a few that I’m willing to pre-order, but I’m not willing to pay a ridiculous price for them when i know they aren’t worth it.

So i kept putting off getting Yomiko since she always cost so much.

I didn’t get Yomiko here because she was an amazing figure but more because i liked her character and I liked R.O.D. If I were going to get her for her design and quality, I would have passed her up. She’s not really anything too special.

But i do like how she’s stepping on the paper on her base, so dainty and delicate.

She’s cast off, but really, it looks pretty bad. So bad that there is no point to pull off her skirt.

Plus the fact that she has no butt at all doesn’t make it too pleasing on the eye.

I do like how her coat sways to the side as if in motion.

Really again, Yomiko here was an impulse buy, but I don’t regret it at all since she was at such an amazing price and since I always liked Yomiko as a character. I do have to say that the Classifieds section has been an amazing thing for me personally, I’ve been able to sell off a few figures I didn’t want, and I’ve been able to get figures I’ve been wanting for a while now for amazing prices. So far, I’ve purchased 8 figures from members on Danny Choo’s website and each time it’s been a pleasant experience with all the people selling me their pre-loved ladies. Now it’s harder for me to pass up a good deal or an impulse buy with this system but then it’s also easier to have a place to prune my own collection and sell off some figures as well. For Yomiko, I don’t think she’ll be going back on the classifieds section anytime soon. She’s lucky I like her so much ^_~
