I may have one regret but the rest of this haul is amazing

There wasn’t much to talk about this week with new figures; I bought Shoujo S and managed to get on the second order for Azusa but that was pretty much it.  So I was a little worried about the content of today’s post since there wasn’t much to talk about.  Thankfully my store had a shipment of new figures come  and one of them - *SHOCK* - I regret getting!  Can you tell which one?

Orchid Seed Seena Kanon PVC: Shining Wind

I’m cracking into my two week old haul with the review today.  A little faster than I usually like to do but I feel like this little gem isn’t getting the real attention it deserves.  Today we’re taking a look at Orchid Seed’s Seena Kanon PVC figure from Shining Wind.

Kotobukiya wins the Great Rebuild of Evangelion Figure Race

Not that it comes as any great shock as Alter has been silent for so long on continuing their Rebuild of Evangelion line, but Kotobukiya officially wins the Great RoE Figure Race to get all three Eva pilots and Misato out on the market.  Not that either figure maker knew they were in the Great RoE Figure Race.  Not that anyone knew there was a Great RoE Figure Race.  I made it up.  Just now.  For this post.  Just goes to show how bummed I am that Alter seems to have forgotten their line.  Anyway here are the figures I’m excited about this illustrious week.

Good Smile Company Saber Lily ‘Distant Avalon’ Ver. PVC: Fate/unlimited Codes

On Friday we covered GCS’s follow-up to this figure with Saber ‘Triumphant Excalibur Ver.’ so I thought it would be nice to today review her predecessor.  Saber on Friday and Saber on Monday.  I can’t think of a better way to spend a weekend than to be sandwiched between two Sabers.  Today we’re taking a look at Good Smile Company’s 1/7th scale Saber Lily ‘Distant Avalon Ver.’ PVC figure from Fate/unlimited Codes.

I like what I see but wonder what the re-release will be like

Wow, there are a lot of lackluster figures being officially put up for order this last week.  Even taking last week - which I took off to post my most recent acquisition set - into consideration didn’t seem to offer up many more that grabbed me.  There was one diamond in the rough though: GSC’s Triumphant Excalibur Saber.  Sure it’s a character we’ve seen a billion of before but you can never have too many Saber’s.  You can, however, have too few Rin’s.

Kotobukiya Hime Yarizakura PVC: Yozakura Quartet

I didn’t have a lot of free time this weekend so I didn’t want to crack into the nicer figures of either of my more recent two hauls since I couldn’t devote the time I felt they should get.  Instead I opted for an easier figure to review but one that was still pleasant.  Today we’re taking a look at Kotobukiya’s 1/8th scale Hime Yarizakura from Yozakura Quartet.
