Looking at the calendar I’d say I’m a little late with this concept but I couldn’t find the time this weekend to do a full review so I decided to this instead.  The rules were simple: 1) The figure had to be released in 2009 (so all those GSC and Alter figures that got pushed back didn’t make the cut) and 2) I actually had to own the figure.  Despite those simple rules this ended up being quite the task since so many fantastic figures were released in 2009.  On top of that I decided to be really controversial and rank these 15 beauties.  Why 15?  Because I honestly couldn’t whittle the list down further than that.

Some of the results were surprising even to me~ Read the rest of this entry →

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?

Taking the cue from Aka’s recent wishlist I thought it would be fun for me to try my hand at it as well.  I thought it would be something fun for the Christmas week as well as easy to write considering I spent the better part of yesterday digging my car out of two feet of snow.  Following what Aka did with his  I’m also trying to make a true wishlist; meaning these are figures I wish I had but are either hard to obtain, exorbitantly expensive, and/or don’t actually exist but I would like to see made.  Santa Yuki is one of them.  :3

“Saber Lily came in,” my local anime store owner messaged me.  “You had better not be joking,” my reply was.  Luckily for him he wasn’t!  Not only was Saber Lily waiting for me on Friday when I walked into the store, but Uplark’s Nia, GSC’s Nendoroid Saber Lily, and three new Lucky Star  “summer version” figma’s were as well.  Still waiting on Kagamin and then the summer figma harem will be complete. :3

Cracking into last week’s haul a bit and covering one of the figures I was most looking forward too since I first saw the images.  The wait seemed like forever but she’s finally mine.  Today we’re taking a look at Alter’s 1/8th scale Yoko Littner ‘Bounty Hunter Ver.’ PVC from Gurren Lagann.
