I really wish I were one of those otaku that haul bunches and bunches of figures… but that’s not the case ^^; I think over time as an otaku-with-little-money, I’ve grown selective, almost too selective, of what to buy.
Here’s a list of things I’ve ordered recently:
- Anime Legends : Big O, Complete Collection 1
- Mighty Muggs : Han Solo x2
- Creators’ Labo : Rei Ayanami 1/6th Scale Yamato
Being a long time fan of Big O and all of Roger’s shenanigans, I felt nostalgic after seeing this sweet new Big O figure of some sort at one of Danny Choo’s festival coverages. After receiving a gift card last month without anything to buy, I decided to get the 1st season of Big O. While I’m sure it’s much too late to cover each episode like my failed Outlaw Star attempt, I’ll probably mention it here and there until I finish the 13 or so episodes.
Hmm…..Mighty Muggs…I still don’t know exactly why the hell I bought these. The package was nice and stylish, similar size to Revoltech boxes, and the figures looked.. well… I don’t know. To be honest it was mostly an impulse buy, I only saw 2 Han Solo’s and 1 Chewbacca. I didn’t want to spend all of my cash on 3 figures, so I bought 2 Han’s, 1 of which will be on Ebay soon. I’ll probably end up selling the opened one too if anyone’s interested. Please leave a message if you’re interested.
Ah, Rei Ayanami. One of the most beautiful characters placed in a violent and disturbing atmosphere. I’ve loved everything about Rei since I watched Evangelion. I’m still waiting for the Kotobukiya “You Are Not Alone” Rei figure (the good stuff via Mukyaa), but I decided to go ahead and order the REFLECT version first. This is why I love the otakusphere, it’s very common that bloggers in Japan etc. will already have the figures I want, and so it’s easy for me to decide whether or not the quality is worth the price, yadda yadda. However, what I found with Yamato’s Ayanami was that no one has her… I’ve looked high and low for pictures but to no avail. I found one flickr account with some pics but no real review. I assume everyones just either disappointed in their figure or just avoiding the Yamato name in general. I took the stab to contribute to the otakusphere by buying my own figure. I’m crossing my fingers for an above average figure, but I realize that might not be the case. I ordered Rei from the wonderful KidNemoCompany. Hopefully via USPS Priority, I’ll have her within the week.
I have a feeling no one will answer this question ^^; but I’ll throw it out there anyway : what do you fellow otakus enjoy about the otakusphere?
Here’s some kooky photos of my Mighty Muggs Han Solo. (I’m practicing to get the black background but it’s not good enough. -_-)
