I’ve got to stop these late night review writing sessions.  I’m  pretty nonsensical as it is when I write with an alert mind but adding in some sleep deprivation to the mix takes my writing to a whole new level of incomprehensibleness.  Yes I know that’s not a real word but that kind of proves my point.  Today we’re taking a look at Good Smile Company’s 1/8th scale Yuzuko Hayakawa PVC figure from Yuzuko Peppermint.

An Alter figure today, an Alter figure last time.  I hope you like Alter figures because out of the next fourteen galleries I have staged out half of them come from that wonderful little company.  Today we’re taking a look at one of their more awesome entries in recent memory: their 1/8th scale Mio Akiyama PVC figure from moe-blob K-On!.

Sorry, no review today.  I hope not to make a habit of it but there was a major school project due and, combined with my regular classes, I couldn’t pull myself away long enough to do a review.  This also explains my unannounced absence all last week (or at least why I didn’t respond to any comments).  I hope that projects like this will be few and far between but they will happen from time to time.  I’ll try to get a review up later in the week but, if not, I’ll definitely have one ready next Monday.

My random figure selector told me that today is the day to do Alter’s Senhime.  A part of me regrets that because I really wanted to keep a figure this phenomenal to review a little later but that feeling is quickly brisked away each time I look at her.  It might also be a bit of a blessing since, if this last weekend is any indication, this semester is going to be quite busy.  Today we’re taking a look Alter’s 1/8th scale Senhime PVC figure from Queen’s Blade Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls.

Because I have seventeen figure galleries all photographed and ready for review I decided to institute a system where the figures I review each week will be chosen at random.  It seemed the most fair to do it this way.  Especially since I know myself and I know I would end up being biased in my choices.  So today we’re taking a look at Kotobukiya’s 1/8th scale Alfin PVC figure from Shining Force Feather.

Today we have three different girls from three different series with three different personalities and three different companies showcasing three different moe.  What do they all have in common?  That I’m excited by all of them (to varying degrees, of course).
