Ever since i got my hands on the Hatsune Miku Nendoroid I’ve been addicted to their adorable enlarged heads and chibi bodies. So now I’ve been on a roll to get Nendoroids of some of my favorite characters and when they announced Shana here i just had to get her.

Once again i’ve had Shana since December of last year but have been very busy and haven’t had a chance to take some pictures.

She really is a cutie and i love playing with her adorable faces and her exchangeable arms.

I never expected myself to really love the nendoroid series like this but they are so cute and too hard to pass up!

I love how she’s so small yet so greatly detailed.

no matter the size of the figure, it should always be made the the highest quality possible and that’s why Good Smile Company has been doing so well lately in the figure industry.

Looking back at last year’s purchases i’ve gotten more Good Smile and Max Factory figures, nendos and figmas than any other figure company.

Maybe i need to start focusing on other figure companies as well. I’m trying to get more Alter figures in my collection, but they don’t always release characters i like.

Now Shana here is just cute as a button and i might need to try and track down the other version of this Shana with black hair and nekomimi.

Shana here is just a nendoroid that I’m proud to have sitting in my collection, plus she looks so cute next to my Max Factory 1/8 Shana.

Now I’m a bit late to jump on the Shakugan No Shana bandwagon. I kept meaning to watch the series but i would watch the first episode then skip to something else and i just kept putting it off. Now i used to have a rule that said i can only buy figures from series I’ve seen and of characters i love. That rule went out the window a long time ago but when i did have this rule if i saw a figure i really liked i would research the show that it was from and watch it. If i truly liked that show then i would go buy the figure and thats what i did with Shana.

I first saw this figure on Tea Shop Beloved when Deftoned Reviewed her. I was instantly in love. I wanted her so badly but then as luck would have it right before i decided to finish watching Shana she was out of stock EVERYWHERE!

I decided to still watch Shana and i loved the series. But all it did was make me want this figure more and more.

I did find a few on ebay but from Hong Kong sellers and that usually is a red flag of a bootleg. So i kinda just gave up on finding her.

I later thought that i should wait till Anime Expo ’08 to see if i can find her. I have had some awesome luck in finding rare/hard to find figures there.

Luck would have it, right when i walked into the exhibit hall i headed straight to Kid Nemo since John said he’d like to meet me in person.

i get to the booth and who do they have sitting right there on a lower shelf but Shana herself. I just grabbed her and walked up to the first person i saw and said i’ll take this.

I really didn’t care how much she would have cost me nor did i bother to look in other booths to see if i could find a better deal (which i almost ALWAYS do.) She cost me $50 which isn’t bad since she would have cost me more online.

I was so happy to finally get my hands on Shana! She really is an amazing figure. Looking at her now she’s a bit shorter than most of my 1/8 figures. btu then of course Shana’s Character is short so thats fine.

I love how you can compare the image they based the design off. You can really see the detail they put into a figure when you can compare it like this. You can see how they matched her hair so perfectly, the strands match up so perfectly! Even the folds in her skirt match up!

Max Factory once again has made an amazing figure. I think the thing i love the most is her hair, It’s so well done! No hiccups in the paint and the detail is just amazing. There is a noticeable seam line on her right side but it can be overlooked since overall this figure kicks ass.
