Anime Figures
I think this is the biggest pile O SAFS that I've acquired so far ^^;;
Lets wizz through the latest bunch.
Mikuru Nendoroid.
Mikuru Nendoroid.
Melissa Seraphy Nendoroid Devil version that was on sale at the Wonfes.
"A member of Zeed" from Revoltech's Fist of the North Star series.
Kenshiro from the same Revoltech series. Both of these are out next month. Thanks to comrades at Hobby Stock for the samples.
Ken comes with a pair of nunchucks perfect for Figma Haruhi ^^;
Some makers prefer I keep quiet while others prefer me mention where they came from. The toughest thing is keeping quiet about (no photos) the other stuff thats not due out for months ^^;
Spinzaku - otherwise known as Kururugi Suzaku. This is the Wonfes packaging.
From a few conversations that I've had with comrades in the figure industry, they tell me that the figure buying population in Japan is largely made up of folks over the age of 30.
But outside of Japan, the figure buying population seems to be much younger. At what age was you when you purchased your first ever anime/eroge figurine? Do you remember what your first figure was?

The first PVC figure I got was Aya Natsume by Bome and that was when I was 33.

Wai Fung came with some blurb as follows. Wai Fung is another creation in Elegance series by ORI Team. Wai Fung features the custom and culture of an ancient Chinese lady. The gown, pattern on her dress, accessories are all designed according to the Chinese belief, myths and tradition.
The first highlight of Wai Fung figure is the gown that she is wearing. The gown consist a few patterns of bachelor's-button and Chinese phoenix. Chinese phoenix is a symbol of feminine entity in ancient Chinese culture as Dragon presents male. The Chinese phoenix on Wai Fung’s gown also brings out her high virtue and grace. Furthermore, the Chinese phoenix pattern on her dress is not a decal but is actually sculpted. The sculpture is well defined and looks very natural with the folds of her dress.
The second attention must pay to the craftsmanship of the fur on Wai Fung's neck and sleeves of her gown. Fur is one of the oldest forms of clothing in ancient China. Huge effort was made to sculpt the detail of the fur. You can tell how well-defined the far is by looking at the photos.
Pearl, golden token, fazan and jade pendant are accessories that ancient Chinese always fanaticize about. On Wai Fung's hair, flowers and fazan are tacked. Fazan is a hairpin for a lady to hold her hair together. A golden fazan is a symbol of wealth and social position. The flowers and fazan make Wai Fung young and aristocratic.
Finally the little pet on Wai Fung’s arm is a cute hedgehog. It shows Wai Fung is close to animals and nature.
You can also see some development pics of Wai Fung at E2046.
This is the only pre-painted kit I have in my collection and am impressed with attention to detail that they spent on this figure - especially considering that they paint each one by hand.
Looks like they only have 7 pieces left in stock - 158 USD from E2046.
If there was a complaint to be made then it would be that the strap hanging off her leg was broken upon arrival but was easily fixed with some super glue.
Ah yes - another complaint is that she does not cast off ^^;
E2046 also have a load of other kits and PVC's which you may want to check out.
And thanks to all for the get-well messages and the 2D presents in the Member News section. Am feeling much better now.
