Polyvinyl Crush

I held of on reviewing this figure for a while since I have such mixed feelings about it: I love Konata’s face and coloring, but the detailing and pose are kinda lackluster.  I decided do Konata anyway because it could be an interesting discussion.  That and we need the bump in traffic associated with people searching for “Lucky Star” in Google.  Today we’re taking a look at Clayz’s 1/8th scale Konata Izumi PVC from Lucky Star.

Not many figures worth mentioning went on pre-order this week so I opted to change gears for today.  Some recent comments got me thinking about what the acceptable “limits” for PVCs are, so I wanted to ask about your “limit” and what you feel comfortable owning and displaying?  I’m generally curious about this.  To some degree it has to be a personal thing, but I can imagine it’s also influenced by other factors like society, up-bringing, and friends and family.

I want to try something different for the Friday updates and highlight PVCs that recently get put up for pre-order in Japan.  My hope is to do something like “here’s the figures that I’m excited about and went on pre-order this week”, so this will by no means going to be all encompassing.  Today’s the first time I’m trying it, and since it’s been a relatively light week, I’m going to go backwards and also highlight some that have recently been put up.
