<p>Since I&#8217;ve seen Utawarerumono I wanted Eruruu and Aruruu figures. Sadly i&#8217;ve only been able to get Aruruu in this search for the two. Aruruu here is so adorable but sadly she&#8217;s lonely for her onee-chan&#8230;<br />

<p>For once this is a Kotobukiya figure that i have NO COMPLAINTS abuot. I&#8217;ll be the first to admit that i don&#8217;t like Kotobukiya figures much but sometimes they do surpass my expectations.</p>

<p>Aruruu is one of the rare figures that I&#8217;m so happy i purchased. She&#8217;s been made so well and detailed from her shows to her hair. No noticeable seam lines, no paint hiccups, then folds of her clothes are done so nicely, her adorable expression, nothing was overlooked. I just ask you fellow figure collectors, if you ever happen to spot Kotobukiya&#8217;s Eruruu for a decent price, let me know. I&#8217;ve been looking for her forever now and have yet to spot her for a price that won&#8217;t kill my wallet too badly. But if you have Eruruu and have been debating getting her imouto, I suggest you do it for she is so adorable hard to pass up!</p>

So I went and checked it out, and man o man do they have some great figures! I may be broke but i just started working this week so i&#8217;ll soon be rolling in the money, well i just sold a crapload of stuf via Ebay and Amazon, so i thought i might as well go on a little shopping spree for myself. I&#8217;ve been in a dry spell these last few months with no money and no job, so now that i have a steady income coming in I thought i&#8217;ll go back to my old habits of buying figures LIKE CRAZY!!! So I bought three lovely ladies in this awesome sale!</p>
<p>1.) <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-49-en-70-2f1z.html" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-49-en-70-2f1z.html?referer=');">Toys Planning Miyako</a></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/1500/10065307atn8.png" /></div>
<p>I&#8217;ve been wanting Miyako from the moment she was announced, but honestly the $60+ price tag pushed me away. I may like her, but not for $60&#8230; So when I saw her for 50% off I had to snag me one!</p>
<p>2.) <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-49-en-70-2aaa.html" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-49-en-70-2aaa.html?referer=');">Good Smile Company 1/8 Iori Minase</a></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-49-en-70-2aaa.html" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-49-en-70-2aaa.html?referer=');"><img src="http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/3005/10062164axf3.png" /></a></div>
<p>Now while I may not have finished Idolmaster yet, for $20 i just had to get her as well! I&#8217;ve been wanting more GSC figures anyways. Plus this gives me incentive to finally watch the rest of that series ^_^</p>
<p>3.) <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-49-en-70-228g.html" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-49-en-70-228g.html?referer=');">Kotobukiya 1/8 Urutori</a></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/3546/10060063ago0.png" /></div>
<p>I&#8217;ve been a big fan Utawarerumono for a while now, and while i still can&#8217;t seem to track down Eruruu, I was able to find me a cheap Urutori! I love this figure, from her wings to her pose I&#8217;ve regretted dropping her pre-order but now I&#8217;m just glad i was able to find her and for much less than the original cost!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time for the 3rd installment of Figures i bought over the past year! Now i&#8217;m focusing on Kotobukiya, they get their own post since i ended up buying more kotobukiya figures than any other company.<br />
<span id="more-73"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/1813/kotobukiyalogopa6.png" alt="" /></div>
<p><strong>1/8 Aruruu<br />
</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/2558/10053225a6up2.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>I bought Aruruu as usual an impulse buy, I can&#8217;t remember where exactly i just know it wasn&#8217;t from HLJ. She is one of my most favorite Kotobukiya Figures. She&#8217;s cute and adorable, The paint has just about no flaws. i just wish i had her <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYPP-93" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.hlj.com/product/KBYPP-93?referer=');">onee-chan</a> to keep her company <img src='http://www.howagirlfigures.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  .<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>1/7 Dokuro-Chan<br />
</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/3416/10047650a2ae1.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>One of the first figures i bought this year once i started to collect anime figures. I just had to have a our favorite Angel as a figure! She&#8217;s not the best figure out there, but the little details are what i love. How her Halo rests on her ribbons i thought was well done, it would have looked bad if they tried to do some sort of bar. I also love the details on Excalibolg, i looks perfect. But i just don&#8217;t like the paint on this particular figure, unlike most pvc figures where the skin is a matte paint they gave her a semi-glossy paint. Now normally i wouldn&#8217;t complain about something as trivial as that, but it doesn&#8217;t look right mostly on her legs. Oh and there is also a small black mark just above her left stocking. Now i will say even with these small faults i still love Dokuro-chan, and anyone who is a fan of Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-Chan NEEDS this figure!</p>
<p><strong>1/8 Haruka Amami<br />
</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9577/10056494a4gu3.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Can you say impulse buy? I know i can!!! I&#8217;ve haven&#8217;t even finished watching Idolmaster Xenoglossia! I try and make a rule for myself, &#8220;Never buy a figure from a series you don&#8217;t know.&#8221; In case that i buy a figure then watch the show then end up hating said show or character. It&#8217;s like if i bought the <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/MAX04047" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.hlj.com/product/MAX04047?referer=');">Max Factory Aisia</a> figure, and then saw Da Capo! I hate Aisia, <a href="http://scottd.wordpress.com/2007/01/15/watching-da-capo-over-again-did-not-change-my-opinions-of-aisia/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/scottd.wordpress.com/2007/01/15/watching-da-capo-over-again-did-not-change-my-opinions-of-aisia/?referer=');">as most of us do</a>! So then i&#8217;d end up hating said figure! So why did i buy Haruka? I have no idea but i know that she does look awesome here and i&#8217;m hoping that when i do finally watch Idolmaster Xenoglossia, that i&#8217;ll like Haruka!</p>
<p><strong>1/8 Kamigishi Akari<br />
</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9558/10041433abe2.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>I &lt;3 To Heart! I&#8217;m soooo glad i saw this show! Thanks Deftoned for making me watch it! I hadn&#8217;t even thought about watching To heart really, but then i realized that i can&#8217;t call myself an anime fan without ever seeing or at least attempting to see To heart!!! Once i saw this series i knew i had to have this Akari figure! Luckily i found it from a seller on eBay in the US that had her on sale! So i got her at a amazing price! She really is well made for an older Kotobukiya Figure. But she&#8217;s the only really good to heart figure sadly. The others just don&#8217;t hold a candle to their anime counterparts.</p>
<p><strong>1/8 Louise<br />
</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/6803/5572hm4.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>I had been eyeing this figure for so long and when i saw her at AX i just had to have her. Now the only thing that is off is her face, it doesn&#8217;t really look like Louise. But the rest of her is pretty damn amazing! What i love is her cape, it gives the impression that she&#8217;s doing a complicated spell that just creates tons of wind surrounding her! I love it!</p>
<p><strong>1/12 Mahoro Sports Bike<br />
</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/1363/10037810aog3.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="374" /></div>
<p>Now here we have my favorite Kotobukiya figure! This Mahoro is simply amazing, the paint, he pose, the bike. It&#8217;s all amazing! what i like is that not only is Mahoro a piece of art herself, the bike is also detailed to a T. It&#8217;s amazing, my dad loves motorcycles and he himself was drolling over Mahoro&#8217;s bike! The price tag can be a bit high, but trust me if you like Mahoromatic at all, this figure is just simply one to have in your collection!!!<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>1/8 Matou Sakura Vacation Version<br />
</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/6968/10051395a3ep7.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Now we have Sakura in her sluttiest pose over! Not really suited for the charater. But then at the same time it doesn&#8217;t look like she&#8217;s trying to be slutty, she&#8217;s trying to tie her swimsuit. So her boobs are a bit big and get in the way. I love her base the most, instead of a boring base they gave us the illusion that she&#8217; at the beach with a sandy like base!</p>
<p><strong>1/7 Mirei-San<br />
</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/39/afg00495eie6.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>I like to call this figure my &#8220;hot office lady.&#8221; She&#8217;s the kinda secretary all bosses would dream for, and the kind that their wives would hate <img src='http://www.howagirlfigures.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  . I love how you have optional hair styles for her the most. When i change her around it feels like i have a brand new figure!<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>1/8 Rin Tousaka<br />

<p>I really wanted a Rin figure that was simple, not one in a swimsuit, or maid outfit, just Rin in her normal attire. Even though she looks like she might be a leaner since she&#8217;s only on one leg, she&#8217;s really light and doesn&#8217;t look like she&#8217;ll be a leaner.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>1/8 Saber<br />

<p>You can&#8217;t get Rin without her matching saber! My 3rd saber, i really like her outfit for this figure, same with Rin goes for Saber. I wanted a plain, simple saber figure. Nothing complicated or over the top.</p>
<p><strong>1/7 Shii Arisugawa<br />

<p>The sexiest meganekko figure i&#8217;ve got. You can have her either holding a sword or a cell phone, i opted for the sword. Plus removable skirt is a plus, only thing is since she&#8217;s so big she leans a bit sometimes and needs to go back into her box from time to time.</p>
<p><strong>1/8 Shinji &amp; Kaworu School Uniform<br />
</strong></p>

<p>I&#8217;m a full supporter of having more male figures made, i think for every 90 million female figures there are, there are 2 decent male figures&#8230; I really only bought these boys since they looked cool, they weren&#8217;t expensive, and i already have 7 female NGE figures. Might as well have some of the boys as well!</p>
