There's a lot to cover here so I guess I'll just skip the intro and head straight into the juicy bits. Kantai Collection ~Kan Colle~ - Hamakaze - 1/7 - Iso Kai (Amakuni, Hobby Japan) The rigging isn't all that intricate so I'm confused why this is more expensive than a 1/4 scale figure. Now localize the game to a global audience already. Fans of the game might not agree … [Read more...] about 2021 Bishoujo Figures Pre-Orders Part 15 – Taiga, Kiss-shot, Yae, Shiro, Kaguya, Megumi and More

Unboxing Filo 1/7 Scale Figure by Kadokawa
I have been looking forward to Season 2 of Shield Hero which is why I decided to unbox Filo next only to be greeted with the news that it has been delayed to April 2022. Well, moving on from the bad news. There is not a lot of choices when it comes to a Filo figure. You have this one, the Nendoroid, and a swimsuit version which is still in the works. There's also another one … [Read more...] about Unboxing Filo 1/7 Scale Figure by Kadokawa
Are Prize Figures Just as Good as Scale Figures?
It's not unheard of to have disagreements among the anime figure-collecting community regarding prize figures and scale figures. You might usually see someone sharing a picture of a prize figure they recently got and then claiming that it looks just like the quality of a scale figure. Then another one chimes in to diss the prize figure. So, are prize figures really just as … [Read more...] about Are Prize Figures Just as Good as Scale Figures?
2021 Bishoujo Figures Pre-Orders Part 14 – Belfast, Rem and Ram, Mai, Kurumi, Milim, Homura and More
This time around we've got a bunch of new eStream figures, a few from Azur Lane, some FGO, some Vtubers, and a lone Nendoroid of Tsukasa. Someone make a proper scale figure of her already, please. Azur Lane - Belfast - 1/7 - Iridescent Rosa Ver. (Alter) This one seems quite overpriced which isn't very surprising seeing that it's made by Alter.

Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari – Raphtalia 1/7 Scale Figure by Kotobukiya – A Review
Kotobukiya's Raphtalia has been the figure of choice for anyone looking to buy a quality scale figure of Raphtalia -- her adult form in particular. Some of you may prefer loli Raphtalia but adult Raphtalia is best Raphtalia especially when she's having a childish fit. Not a Lot of Choices for a Raphtalia Figure There really isn't a lot of choices when it comes to a … [Read more...] about Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari – Raphtalia 1/7 Scale Figure by Kotobukiya – A Review

2021 Bishoujo Figures Pre-Orders Part 12 – Rem & Shera, Misaka, Saber, Kurumi and More
FuRyu is on a roll. They make up a bulk of the lineup this time around. Their Rem and Shera look promising though I'd rather put my money on Good Smile Company's new Kurumi figure. There are also some new figures from shitty figure manufacturers that I purposely left out. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun T - Misaka Mikoto - F:Nex - 1/7 - Furisode (FuRyu) Trivia for the day: a … [Read more...] about 2021 Bishoujo Figures Pre-Orders Part 12 – Rem & Shera, Misaka, Saber, Kurumi and More
