Yamato's
first
run
Poison
figure
is
my
most
recent
triumph.
After
finding
hir
on
Ebay
and
agonizing
over
going
for
hir
for
a week, there was just no other way--I'd been working
for months to turn a profit (I'm an artist, feel bad for
me please) and was halfway through a solid week of packing up
everything I owned to move and... well, sie will never
be a regret. Sie's still on my desk, in fact,
commanding me to work. Of course, every time sie
catches my eye sie distracts me...

I
think
I
will
always
consider
him
my
prize.
Everyone
has
"that
one
thing"
that
they
never
thought
they'd get a hold of. 30/30 is mine. A rare
figure from a not so endearing cartoon (Bravestarr), I
never thought I'd see one in person let alone buy one in
a sealed box. Oh Ebay, sometimes you spoil me.
|
It's
sort
of
the
symbol
of
worlds
colliding:
Transformers
and...
Kingdom Hearts.
No, seriously.
|
Ah,
my
boy
Dante.
Loved
the
little
bastard
since
the
first
game.
We
do
not
discuss
the
second
game,
though. It was just a bad dream.
|
So
I
didn't
actually
get
potions
with
these
(which
was
a
crime
later
made
up
for
by
a
jewelry for the limited edition Crisis Core potion
and Ultimania set trade), but I was glad to pay inflated
prices just to get the two figures I wanted from the
set.
|
Look,
Voldo's
my
favorite
in
the
series.
He
always
will
be.
There's
nothing
like
straight-up
mind-fucking
intimidation
before the fight even begins. Have you seen some
of this guy's moves during
battle, too? Love it.
|
Little
shiny
glowy
angry
Cefca
(Kefka)
of
FFVI
fame! With the awesome wings and the ball of bad
things ready to KO you instantly and make you curse
repeatedly. You know, in theory.
|
When
Revoltech
Vash
landed
upon
my
doorstep,
I
was
happily
surprised.
I
could
get
used
to figures releasing on time and getting here very, very
quickly.
|
Of
course
he
was
with
Vash.
I
mean,
I
couldn't get
Vash and not have Wolfwood tag along.
|
Since
we
seem
to
have
a
bit
of
a
Trigun
theme
going
lately...
Okay,
yes, I know, these aren't toys. But they're still
fun, so hush.
|
Play Arts Kai Dante. UNIVERSES COLLIDE in the best
way imaginable.
|
And
of
course
I
had
to
get
Play
Arts
Kai
Nero
as
well. I mean, he's Nero. Someone has to
entertain Dante. Besides Poison.
|
As
a
PUBLIC
SERVICE,
I'm
finally
posting
what
I
could
not
for the life of me find online anywhere--a proper
comparison of the real Static Arts Sebastian Michaelis
vs the bootleg. Knowing is half the battle.
The other half probably has something to do with
amphetamines.
|
Well,
it
felt
"wrong"
to
have
my
sparkly
Sebastian
without
representing Grell, my very favorite Death God.
Just what I needed, another series to make grabby hands
at.
|
A
super-rare
(for
me)
purchase
of
an
American figure! ...Made in China. It's Tron: Legacy's
Deluxe Rinzler! Spoiler: it lights up!
|
Surprise! It's Dissidia Trading Arts Firion!
|
Not
a
surprise
at
all!
It's
Dissidia Trading Arts Sephiroth! |
I
broke
down
and
got
some Tron: Legacy diecast vehicles. It was a
sale. I saw some lightcycles. It had to
happen.
|
I'm
really
not
into
the Vinylmation thing at all, but... Tron gets me.
Tron gets me every time.
|
Tron
kick?
Sure,
a little. The limited edition SDCC classic Tron
figure is my reward for working for months and managing
to make some actual profit at Anime Boston.
Rewards are sweet and glowy.
|
Day
one
pre-order. And a lot of waiting. But she's
here at last, Figma KOS-MOS!
|
So
yes,
I'm still on my Tron kick, too. Plus it was
impossible to resist Tron and Sark Kubricks.
|
Okay,
okay, just one more. And man, you cannot really
appreciate how creepy NECA Tron is until he's staring
through your soul.
|
I was going to hold out for a Dissidia Play Arts Kai
Sephiroth (because come on, he's just got to be coming),
but... well, what can I say of Squall. That ass.
|
I do not have enough AI representation around
here. I solved that a little with a sweet little
Tachikoma from Nendoroid!
|
Finally! Surely Wild Tiger will keep some order to
my desk! Or break more things, but... it's all in
the name of justice.
|
You can't have one in a hero pair without the
other. No, seriously.
|
Resistance once again proved alarmingly futile.
|
I'm sort of an oldschool Knight Rider fan, it must be
said. But you know, I'm always partial to "the
evil one".
|
You can't just get a Kotetsu plush without getting a
Barnaby plush! It would be madness!
|
At long last, I have snagged myself a Riku. I
still hold out hope for a KH2 version that's not the
size of my thumb... but not too much hope.
