Scott and I have a very interesting argument  [ Read More ]

  *Update* I would like to thank Nigri who corrected me on who the character actually is. In my rush to start getting these figure posts complete, I mistakenly thought this to be Rin Natsume, when it is actually Sasami Sasasegawa. I apologize for this error and my lack of attention, and have updated the  [ Read More ]

I buy a lot of figures based off of anime or games that I enjoy, but lately I’ve also been on a string of purchases with figures that just happen catch my eye. The Alter crafted figure of Noumi Kudryavka is one that was hard to ignore. The moment I saw the first images, I  [ Read More ]

I wasn’t planning on buying any figures outside of those that I have on pre-order, but when I saw the Mercedes (Odin Sphere) figure, I had to own it. After getting it in and having the time to take in the beauty of this figure, I can say Alter once again proves it is one  [ Read More ]

Recently I got in the Tsumugi Nendoroid, so I had to get the re-releases of the Mio Akiyama and Yui Hirasawa Nendoroids to try and continue to grow my K-On! Nendoroid collection. Thanks to Chuck’s Anime Shrine, I was able to get both in at the same time. They are another welcome addition to my  [ Read More ]

Thanks to my new found love for Nendoroids, I decided I needed to get the rest of the Houkago Tea Time band mates from K-On! to join my Azunyan Nendoroid. In stock at Chuck’s Anime Shrine was Tsumugi, so I put in my order for her. After getting her in, I will say she is  [ Read More ]

The always quiet, but oh so cute, Sanya V.Litvyak has arrived to my collection, and Alter has done an excellent job with her. Coming from the hit anime series Strike Witches, Sanya is another one of my favorite characters. I love that such a cute, petite girl uses such a large weapon like a missile  [ Read More ]

Finally getting around to posting my impressions on a lot of figures I’ve gotten in recently. Francesca Lucchini just so happens to be my favorite character in Strike Witches. Always energetic and extremely mischievous, I just couldn’t help become a fan of her. While I have a full size figure pre-ordered, I found the Nendoroid  [ Read More ]

Muramasa: The Demon Blade is still the best game I have played to date on the Nintendo Wii, as I loved the characters, story, and especially the impressive visuals the game showcased on the Wii. So it was only natural that I immediately pre-ordered the Momohime figure when it was announced. Well after an initial  [ Read More ]

My Azusa Nakano Figma finally arrived from JList.com. She was the last one needed to complete the entire Houkago Tea Time band of Figmas. So how does she compare to the rest of the band? I always like how many different poses you can get out of these figures, so you can really capture moments  [ Read More ]
