February 2011 Loot
So this is my second month of looting, and I found it very difficult to not get more. Her I am, supposed to be saving money to move this summer, and instead I constantly having to restrain myself from making over-excessive figure purchases. This month I also experienced my first bootleg purchase -_- sad times, but hopefully I will learn from this and not have to go through it again. Myfigurecollection(dot)net is very useful in listing bootleg sellers, and how to tell if something is bootleg or not.
Pictures with figures that are open, I bought opened. Pictures with figures still in their boxes, I received NIB. I am going to wait until I move to my new place and have room to start displaying everything.
Here is my pile o' loot from February.
How can you not love Sonico? Unfortunately my only item of her for the month.
I got the book and Huit figure from sale on Amiami.
Very lovely figure of Sakura Matou I got for a good price on E-bay.
Kazami Mizuho from Onegai Teacher ^_^ Very pretty.
And another Mikuru to add to my collection.
My first Revoltech figure is of Yoko Littner from the series Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann. I look forward to more Revoltech figures in the future ^_^ I bought her from a seller outside of the country, and she came without a box but included a Figma stand and all of her accessories, except sunglasses.
Very scantly dressed figure of Endoh Ifrina made by Figu@mate. They made the cape castoff-able, not that it really covers anything. She is a 1/1 scale figure, so that popsicle is life-sized. Makes you hungry looking at it huh? The popsicle that is...
The lovely demon girls of Kanokon. Awesome deal on Amiami, I liked the looks of the regular version more than the limited edition.
You can make out Minamoto Chizuru from inside the packaging.
Much more difficult to see Ezomori Nozomu inside of the packaging.
Here we have my most regrettable purchase. A bootleg of Shana, very horribly done. You can see mistakes all over her, it was total hell getting the shorts off to show the chipped paint that was under them.
The hair is all gunky and nasty...
Really, really, really bad paint job. All the limbs just come right apart, but the clothes which are supposed to come off, do not(meaning the shorts which are shown removed already and the top).
These lovely girls make up for the bad purchase though. I couldn't resist and outfit swap. What do you think of Konata with a larger bust ^_^ From the way they look, it is like Kagami is lunging forward giving Konata a surprise "kiss".
Regular mode looks very sweet as they slowly put their heads together for a kiss...
Just kidding! ^_^ That is it for this month. I look forward to seeing what I will get in March.
A skimpy dressed girl and a Popsicle. How suggestive :P
I want these, but I'm waiting for Haruka Amami and Azusa Beach Queen figures
I like this ^__^
I feel for you man.. Getting those bootlegs from sellers which claim they are originals are a pain.
Nice, I wanted to get these but I had to sacrifice these for something else. They really turned out well.
Nice loot, besides for the unfortunate bootleg.
I know how you feel. Trying to save money, while the figures are calling out to you "Buy me!". Next thing that you know it, you're out off cash T_T
You'll slow down your purchases when you start running out of space.
Got this one myself. Lovely.
Ooo I love the stand.
I like the Kagami and Konata figure... ^.^
