Tower of SAFS
Yet another tower of SAFS has risen within the depths of Mirai Inc. The eyes of the tower occupants see all those who wear the ring. Those eyes occasionally wobble from time to time sending fear through all who attempt to return the ring to the tower and try to cast it in the fiery pit.
A look at the 1st and 2nd floors.
The 3rd and 4th floors. The fiery beast awaits at the top floor to devour those who manage to get this far.
Behind the Tower of SAFS.
The formidable tower has the ability to disappear by day and reappear in another location when the seventh moon of Variquaintus crosses the orbit of Montiquilont. The rooms end up on a different floor too. A warrior trying to return the ring who ends up in the tower during an orbit crossing will be trapped within the walls as the tower shifts its shape. They will rot for 2 thousand years while their bodies are consumed by tower rats.
Now we take a look at the tower guardians located in each room. First up is Haruka Minazuki sculpted by Liu Chao. Looks like Max Factory is starting to go international with their sculptors.
Guardian Hruka's choice of weapon is the Waitress Tray of Satan. Haruka usually guards the first floor toilet.
Recently released Figma Ryomo.
Guardian Ryomo's weapon of choice is the Handcuffs of Eternal Blood.
Recently released Figma Shana.
Shana's weapon of choice is the Melon Pan of Seething Claw.
Guardian Saber Lion. Her choice of weapon is the Moe Fruitcake.
Nendoroid Sakura Nankyoku. Her choice of weapon is the Pickaxe of Thundering Slayer Volcanic Totem Pole.
The Goddess of Pie Hiyori Pixie.
Her choice of weapon is her Op Pie mounted on her chest. Before using her weapons, she would do a 'Cast Off.'
Hiyori should be out sometime in the beginning of the year.
Guardian Unity Yuno.
Just like Pixie, Yuno is also armed with level 9000 Op Pie Pulse Lazer Photon Cannons where each nozzle is in the shape of a heart.
Yuno is due out next week.
Guardian Kasumi Yashiro.
Kasumi's choice of weapon is the Rabid Rabbit Breath.
No release date yet.
Guardian Aoi Kannazuki.
Her choice of weapon is the Flaming Basket of Avalanche Cyclone Revenge. She merges with Haruka to form the Twin Demon of Kaylenthall.
The tower pets. Wondering if anybody ordered these?
A sneek peekus at Unity Yuno - review up soon.

I like the Saber lion cosplay figure but I don't know about the other Saber one.
The only Shana figure I like so far (thats produced by Good Smile) is the black haired cat eared Shana nendoroid (if only it weren't so pricy).

Wow. Other than the two Nippon Professional Baseball mascots, nothing interested me. I guess it's because the first Japanese baseball game I watched had the Chunichi Dragons playing. Cannot remember who else was playing against them.
Also, I do remember them playing because they used the Los Angeles Dodgers script/font. And saying that is ironic because on my birthday, I ended up meeting Takashi Saito (#44)... Who plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He used to play for the Yokohama Taiyo Whales, which is currently known as the Yokohama BayStars.
Good team, but I sucked with them in the long run when I played Professional Baseball Spirits 4. And I guess seeing those makes me want to get my friend the mascots as appreciation for all he does for me and the others. So we will see if I can or not. ^^;;
Besides... Nice loot. :3

A mighty tower indeed...wish I had something like that...

For a moment there I thought that was a Dodgers fig. That would've been odd. Even for a fig.

Honestly, I am not too familiar with many of the characters that compose the tower of SAF, but I think it would be interesting to own one of the team mascot figmas though I'm not a huge fan of baseball.

Very dangerous tower! Luckily, I have a better way on getting on top of it! *rides a helicopter* XD
Out of all the figures there, my most favorite is the Hiyori Pixie. In fact, I think it's my most favorite figure this year! If ever I see it being sold in a store here, I'll do everything in my power to buy it XD
I do wish they sold that Firefox plushie. It's so darn cute!!!

Apart from the Nendoroids, I'd love the Kasumi Yashiro figurine from MuvLuv Alternative.
