Last Haul of December
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 » )

Talho of Eureka Seven
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 » )

Thanksgiving Week Haul
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 » )

Haruhi Manga Impressions
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 » )

Dark Saber by Alter
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 » )

Gothic Lolita Haruhi
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 » )

Makoto Figure
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 » )

Melissa Seraphy Nendoroid
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 » )

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 » )

Reiri and Riza

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 » )

Rider Figure
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 » )

Creative Ways of Displaying Figures
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 » )
