Remember those huge 1/4 scale Lucky Star figures by FREEing? Well, I quite liked them and I haven’t forgotten about them ^^. That’s why I persisted on acquiring the sailor and miko outfits that were released for Wonder Festival a while back.
I have purchased several Toradora figures recently and have decided to review them all in a single post. I’d like to start with Kotobukiya’s 1/8 scale Taiga Aisaka which was released in October last year. Sadly, she was a mail order exclusive and thus was a tad more difficult to obtain. Thankfully, Tokyo Hunter was able to order it for me ^^. It was the first time I had used his service and he was able to promptly ship it out when it arrived :) Was a bit more expensive than most deputy services but if you want to order an actual mail order-only item when there isn’t even a Japan-only web order form, I would recommend his service.

Hmmm, I’m not doing a very good job at keeping up with figure posts ^^; Well, these arrived about a week ago so they’re not that old ;) Continue reading
Happy Valentine’s Day from me and Kagami! I hope everyone has a good day (and some yummy chocolate) ^^
Seeing as how I’m about half a dozen figures behind in reviews, I decided it was time to stop being lazy and post pretty pictures. This time ’round it’s Fijibayashi Kyou from the popular visual novel and hit anime series Clannad. Did anyone else watch it? ;) Kyou is one of my all time favorite characters so I couldn’t help but to pick her up last August. Continue reading
It’s quite a while since I’ve done a proper figure review, hasn’t it? ^^;
Time to change that! This time, I have a special treat. Following the Super Konata and Super Kagami reviews from last year, it’s a Super Tsukasa and Super Miyuki double review! These lovely ladies round out the last two entries of FREEing’s 1/4 scale Lucky Star set. Continue reading
Didn’t plan on spending much in January but still managed to acquire a few items ^^; Just a quick rundown on the various items I procured.
First up is the disc media. Rightstuf happened to run a sale on Ouran late last month so I picked it up. Then a few weeks later, they had another sale on Funimation items. Yeah, I know Funimation doesn’t have the best reputation but I really enjoyed Ouran so figured it would be worth it. Also, grabbed Spice and Wolf since my interest in the series has been renewed recently (more on that in a bit). A few Kodocha volumes I needed to complete my collection went along with the order.

Reading Ninjovee’s post about the new exclusive GSC Saber figure that was recently announced, it got me thinking about how hostile the figure collecting hobby is to customers, with exclusive items being a big part of it.
So, what’s the problem with exclusives? Continue reading
