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?

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.

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.

I had a nice little treat waiting for me at my local store when I stopped by earlier in the week. And by little I really mean HUGE. Looks like whatever production issues that seemed to universally and negatively impact figure manufactures late last year has been resolved because the floodgates of figure goodness were opened wide this week.

<Gendo>It’s been a while.</Gendo> Hard to believe it’s been 4 weeks since my last upcoming figures post. It certainly doesn’t feel like it, but looking back on all the new figures I didn’t cover there were a TON of them and I had a lot of catch-up to do. To add insult to injury, I’m out of practice and this post ended up taking a lot longer to write than usual and I’m exhausted. This, in turn, will likely result in more nonsensical ramblings than usual. Good news is that all the studying helped increase my vocabulary so at least the ramblings have big words interspersed within. See if you can spot them!
EDIT: More background info on Miku added.

I started doing these Friday posts because there were so many good figures coming out and I wanted to talk about the ones I was excited about and not wait months and months until I actually got the figure. It’s been fun for the most part, but there have certainly been dry spells like this week where only one figure comes down the pipe that I feel is worth mentioning…and even then I keep wavering on her. Fear not though for I still have something (hopefully) fun planned!
