Plastic-Love

Up for pre-order now is Vertex's 3rd villager, whose name I've seen as both Linsia and Rinshia, but we'll just go with more phonetic translation now and stick to Rinshia.  Although she's the 3rd villager, she's actually releasing after the 4th villager, Priscilla .  I really like this series, having picked up Archeyle on TOM during  her first release she really grew on me after a while and is one of my favorite figures now on my shelf. I skipped the 2nd figure in the series because she's a very bland overpriced loli figure and well no combination of those descriptors will extract money from my wallet, shelf space from my hobby room, or box storage space from my closets.  Priscilla is on order and soon I expect Rinshia to be on order as well, but I might try and wait for a TOM promotion so I can spend out my points. (UPDATE: She went up on TOM just before the end of the Golden Week points promotion so I managed to get her for less than what I would have pai...

Hey I know things have been pretty quiet this year on the site, but there has been a lot going on. Between relocating my hobby room earlier in the year, exploration into a new hobby , stupid terrible Apex Legend Battle Pass grinding, and then this global pandemic, I've really fallen off the figure photography train. That does not mean my love of figures has diminished! I just haven't had the time, and with all of my pre-orders delayed and my life in basic upheaval the hobby has been on the back-burner while things simmer down here at home.  There's still no end in sight, but I'm ready to return to the site and hopefully with some nice photographs and thoughts about some of my favorite figures.  This week we have Attila from FGO, brought to you by Good Smile Company. First things first! This was a very hard figure for me to photography. Her overall shape is that of a plus sign, which made it hard to fit her all in the frame at once in my space here. Thankfully...

Finally, after many months of waiting, a figure is here that demands to be pre-ordered! Azur Lane's beautiful St. Louis has been rendered in 3 glorious dimensions and will be available from Alter, sometime during or after July 2021.  I say sometime, because as many people many know Alter is notoriously known for being late on figures so much that they are refered to in memes as "lAter. Still, there's a date so that means there's a real possibility that this amazing looking figure will be in your home soon for the low low price of 15,460 JPY after discounts from Amiami .  Also available is the standard version which if money is no object you would be a fool to not buy, but for those of us on a budget or who don't feel like the rigging is worth the extra 14k, the Light Equipment Ver. seems like the obvious choice. From the front it looks like St. Louis will display from a good range of angles. She also has a really slim profile so she'll fit ...
