Love how they actually made Haruhi to grope Mikuru's eyes there but her facial expression doesn't suit it...she should be grinning.

Btw, I notice that your hair is graying Danny =p

reply to Benjamin Takeyo's comment

needa is in my pre-order list, hope got enough stock allocation for my country. there is only two type of PVC figurines that I'll buy double. the limited edition or rare ones and the cast-offable ones, like the 1/6 koyori from sengoku cannon that i have

Some I've even bought 3 units. for gundam, i will buy more than one if the price goes down below market price. good use for spare parts or for modding purpose. i'm not interested in figmas as the joints are too obvious, the only figma that i've pre-ordered so far is the saber armour version.

Aw damn Danny... You lucky guy getting away with Needa like that. Question is though: are you gonna keep her or set her free? 

To be honest I'm not into the poseable figures, but   I am impressed how versatile they are. Especially with Haruhi groping

This one I'll keep and if I get anymore then set them free.

Haha I laughed when I saw the board coming with Itsuki. Now they are sure to sell a lot of Koizumi ^^;

I am planning to get a 2nd Miku nendoroid, and maybe a 2nd Figma Saber.
Have also 2 Donne Anonime, but not exactly the same since one is the Nitro+ exclusive.

reply to lostandfound's comment

Hehe - wierd - my first post in the news items was about this! I dont usually like poseable figures, but the likeness is so good, and i love the 'waah' face so much, i just couldnt resist! 
How big are figmas? Are they about as big as the fraulein figures?

As for more than one of the same one, i have the Shunya yamashita sculpted Kasumi Sega prize figures. Theyre not technically the same one - theres a white and a blue version, but i had to buy both in the set.

Needa looks like an awesome figure, but im trying to cut down on my shunya figures, and go for more stylised, anime esque ones like etna.

reply to AndyH's comment

Oh, and itsuki looks very effeminate! I like the way how they bundle the backdrop in the pack as motivation to buy him. Not many people will want him though!

(ID #179212) Posted on 2008/05/01 22:21

About the same size.

LOL, love the groping part XD

So the last 2 Figma releases for SOS members will include the chalkboard background??!!! O_O!

Oh if anyone wondering, Needa will be out on 12th May, 2008 ^^ Can't wait for her ^^

reply to Cavalock's comment

The Mikuru gropings will be epic.

I had doubts about Figma style figurines when I first saw them come into popularity.  I didn't like the idea of the balljoints marring the way the figure looked but I'm seeing that the posability of the figurines can make it pretty damn cool.

I'm actually surprised, I really tought I wouldn't like Figma stuff at all, both surprised and pleased.

I usually only get one of any models, since I don't see any real need for multiple copies. 

Maybe I could buy two Wildwurgers, and repaint one of them red...

nice marketing strategic... I think not many will buy Itsuki if it didn't come with a board. He is in my list now since I already got/pre-ordered the other 4; why not get a set..

Needa will be my first figure from the Shuraki series. And figma Mikuru, I bet it will be the best figma.

reply to PROXL's comment

Already pre-ordered the Mikuru figma.  It seems like most Japanese stores (Hobby Stock, AmiAmi, Hobby Search) are limited people to order just one per person.  Mikuru is the only figma figure I ordered from the SOS Dan.  The only other figma I have is the saber one which I highly recommended people to get it!!!  Just don't feel like to get the others!  Compared to the other SOS Dan's figmas, Mikuru has almost no extra accessories came with it.  I mean they give you a book and eyeglasses in Yuki's figma or the megaphone and armband in Haruhi's figma and etc.  I guess Mikuru's cute face make up more than that!  At least this is what I think!  Anyone agree?

Awesome! Wasn't sure if I wanted to get the whole crew, but now I'm sure of it 

As to any doubles, I don't really see the need to have any. I have only so many eyes to look at them with =P

OMG An Itsuki figure.  Danny... PLEASE make a blog explaining why there aren't more male character figures made for WOMEN!  >o<  I always talk to my figure-otaku friend about this, and we agree that the market for female intended figurines should be tapped.  I know there are SOME out there, but...

reply to SlickDog's comment

LOL nice... actually comes close to a figure I dream they'd do: That scene were Haruhi bites Mikuru's ear.

I have only one repeated character among my figures... and guess who?

Suzumiya Haruhi. :P

But if I had easier access to figures, I'd probably have more than one version from Shana, Ichigo Mashimaro girls, Nagato Yuki, and some others...

nice! i would buy two of the same if and only if they're different poses or by different manufacturers and main point is they should be interesting - like some figures have very lovely facial expressions.

Ahh... Needa looks good.
I still wish there someone would do a review of the KOS-MOS Ver.4 Figure from  Alter. Nobody seems to care about that figure, but it's sold out in quite a few shops now! The only site with halfway decent pictures seems to be Hobby Search 1999...
I have never bought a figure before and I'm not sure if I may be disappointed by it.

reply to XII's comment

I do, sort of. 


Well, you know how trading figures have variation figures? I have a few of those.

Besides, according to Izumi Konata, it's better to have duplicates so you can keep one for collection, one for display, and one more just for the hell of it XD. 


.....I didnt go that far, but it's a good idea lol.

I have multiples of a lot of my favorite characters and a few outright doubles (the problem of having a spouse who is also into anime).

I love the Mikuru figma, I know I will preorder her. I am undecided about the other one.

Of all the Haruhi figmas Mikuru's faces seem the best to me. Her lovely faces are what finally made me pre-order the whole set. Something about this figma is just ridiculously cute. I don't own any doubles of any figures currently, but I kind of want a 2nd Konata figma so I can have something on my desk at work.
