Wow I haven't done a figure post here in a while :) I felt this haul was particularly important to share. Why? Well I just got my first figure by First Class and it was GOD AWFUL. So in case there are others concerned about ordering from that figure ... ( view detail page » )

Just got my second set of the kid Portraits of Pirates line by Megahouse. Is anyone else collecting these sets? Set 2 (pictured above) has Zoro, Nami, and Nojiko of when they were kids. Set 1 had Luffy, Robin, and Sanji. I'll be doing more ... ( view detail page » )

I had my eye on this Talho for a while and found her on sale at Otakufuel for about $50 (much better then the $70 price I was seeing everywhere). I had no interest in Eureka Seven until I saw this character/figure. When I buy a figure of a ... ( view detail page » )

Usually my hauls are all figures but this time I'd say its mostly video games. It’s hard to believe that the most expensive item in this haul is my FREEing Emiri bunny figure. I love those bunnies so much! But trying afford them is killer! This is ... ( view detail page » )

Frankly I disliked this manga very much, it seems like it was created just to milk some more money out of avid Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya fans out there. For those who don’t know The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is originally a light novel seri... ( view detail page » )

I really appreciate the unique approach this figure took to the look of Dark Saber, a lot of the Dark Saber figures really make her look scary. I like this serene Dark Saber in such a cute girlie/gothic outfit. She is currently my favorite figure of ... ( view detail page » )

This is probably the last figure haul this month! Sorry the picture is a bit dark! Going clockwise I have Blanc Neige by Kotobukiya (version 2), the Miku Figma by Max Factory, Noir Clalaclan by Kotobukiya, Mitsuru from Persona 3, and Elwing... ( view detail page » )

It’s figures like this that make me keep a closer eye on Griffon then any other figure company. I mean sure, nothing beats an awesome Alter/Max Factory/GSC figure, but I keep finding that Griffon has unique approaches to which characters, pose, and... ( view detail page » )

This figure is a bit older but it's one I admire a lot that needed me to take some pictures of her. Honestly I had the easiest time taking pictures of this figure, it was like she was made to be amazingly photogenic from many angles. I love ... ( view detail page » )

I got this haul a few days ago but was slow to post! The figures (going counterclockwise) are: Mao by Kotobukiya Yuki & Haruhi EX Live by SEGA Gothic/Lolita Haruhi by Griffon Konata Figma by Max Factory 'Secret" figure f... ( view detail page » )

Usually my hauls are nothing but a big pile of figures, but this time I got mostly manga. I was really excited to find this Talho figure on sale at Otakufuel, they have a pretty decent sale section these days, but you need to keep an eye on it becaus... ( view detail page » )

That face is so damn cute, cutest face out of every nendoroid so far. Such a delightful childish smile, makes me happy just looking at it. After all, I mean, who can resist that little fang? I have to admit I have a fang fetish, a little fang just ma... ( view detail page » )

How do you decorate your walls? Wall Scrolls? Posters? Do you decorate even the ceiling? Do you only decorate with anime images or are there other hobby images that grace your walls too? I’ve always admired the Japanese tradition of having... ( view detail page » )

Alright so Yen Plus has been out a while (3 volumes) and subscriptions will be starting next volume. What does everyone think about this manga anthology so far? Do you think Yen+Plus will sink or swim? Right Side - SquareEnix Manga ... ( view detail page » )

Clare is my all time favorite figure and I FINALLY decided to do a photo shoot of her. Although the lighting I was trying to use got a bit messed up, but it's not too bad. Clare is probably my favorite (if not second favorite) female protagonist in a... ( view detail page » )

Just took a bunch of pictures of Robin. This figure is pretty nice but I think they could have made it better, somehow of the entire crew she feels to be of the lowest quality...am I crazy or does anyone else think that too? Nami's figure came out wa... ( view detail page » )

This is in response to Danny's Request "You at Good Smile" http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/8702/You+at+Good+Smile.html I c... ( view detail page » )

Just got in my Kotobukiya Kureha! Which do you prefer the Max Factory or Kotobukiya version? I have to admit the Kotobukiya one rivals the Max Factory version really well. I hate when multiple figure companies make figures of the s... ( view detail page » )

My first October haul! Are you guys sick of seeing so many Figmas in hauls? Ya me too but I can't help but put them in my picture for my pile for the week. Picture of Konata/Tsukasa out of the box and looking cute! ( view detail page » )

I really love Reiri’s Sailor Fuku, I didn’t have any figures of such a nice and classic school uniform, it looks even better battle damaged. I like her pose, long flowing hair, and facial expression a LOT. I'm fond of strong female characters and... ( view detail page » )

This is a figure of Haruna from To Love Ru, manufactured by Piccoro. It was recently released. That is a BIG base for a figure of this size! It’s an eyesore! My NUMBER ONE pet peeve in figures is when a figure has a base that is significa... ( view detail page » )

Last Haul of September! If you're wondering what is hanging in the back it's One Piece beach towel I got for a gift for the boyfriend. So going from the bottom right counter clockwise is... Reiri Kamura from Princess Resurrectio... ( view detail page » )

An oldie but still a darn good figure. I don't think it's quite worth the current going price on ebay though (about $200 for an unopened one) unless you're a fanatic Rider fan. But I think this is still (TO DATE) the only released 1/8th PVC figure o... ( view detail page » )

Someone a while back posted asking if anyone had a creative way of displaying their figures. I'm not sure how creative my way is but it sure is cheap! I took some cardboard blocks and spray painted them. Then I used them to put the figures on levels ... ( view detail page » )
