The 5th and last figure in Kotobukiya’s 1/6th line of Evangelion figures… or so I thought. When I ordered Mari here I thought she was the end of the line, how naïve was I to think this. Kotobukiya of course would milk this line more, but we’ll have to wait for miss Shikinami for quite some time. In the mean time, I think I’ll get back to Mari here.

Got an oldie for ya today from a time when I thought figure collecting was far too expensive a hobby to get in to, back when the Canadian dollar would get you ¥101 and a figure would cost a measly ¥4,750. What on earth was I thinking? Now I only get ¥86 to the Canadian Dollar and figures cost ¥9,800!

Unfortunately this week I was unprepared for a figure review and just didn't feel like trying to rush through one. Instead, I've decided to post up a few pictures I've taken in the past, all of them before I started collecting anime figures (though not before I had some at all). The idea to do this stems from a question I was asked by @Drossel_vF on Twitter.

Hayakawa Yuzuko goes against my usual taste in women. The majority of the time I don't find women who exceed my short stature to be attractive yet I get the feeling Yuzuko here would tower over me as she's easily the tallest figure I own and she's only a 1/8th scale figure! Hey, hair counts! Marge Simpson might be my height but not with that hair she's not. According to Google Marge is 259 cm (8'6") tall! (168 cm or 5'6" without hair).

Tony Taka goodness this week, Orchid Seed's Seena Kanon from Shining Wind, and more specifically a piece of artwork by the man himself. Kept this one sitting around unreviewed for quite a while until I let a friend of mine decide. She wanted me to review Aki Hanazono but we compromised on Seena Kanon. I wonder if she has a thing for redheads?

One of my favourite pictures of Horo (ホロ) by Ayakura Jū (文倉 十) has been brought into the 3D world by garage kit manufacturer Global. However, like the other Global figure, does this Horo rival Takis?

April 20th, 2010, a 2 year relationship ends as Toyslogic’s last shipment to be sent my way arrives at my door step, four hundred and four days after pre-ordering. What a long time to wait for a figure, especially one as highly anticipated as Black★Rock Shooter. Perhaps I should say, as Black★Rock Shooter was. Since everyone and their mother already has theirs by now.

Librorum Prohibitorum Index (禁書目録) from A Certain Magical Index (とある魔術の禁書目録（インデックス）) by Good Smile Company. I don't like this character very much. I'm not into nuns, and she's a very annoying character and is easily over shadowed by Misaka Mikoto (御坂 美琴). Never the less I bought this figure.
