My July Haul

Jul 9

Posted by lovelyduckie in Hauls | 12 Comments

I’m really excited for this haul, it has a few items I was anxiously waiting for. In particular I was happy to get my hands on Toushiro since his release date feels like it was forever ago, and the GEM figures tend to skyrocket in price after they release. Plus I needed Canaan to match my beautiful Alphard! During this haul post I’ll take some pictures of my less expensive items. I’m hoping to give the prize figures a full review at a later point, but for now, just a few quick pics so this post isn’t so boring. The bigger items I’ll do a  full review of at some point soon.

Starting in the Lower Left Corner (Bottom ->Top)
Guts Black Fencer Limited ver. Bloody Color (Art of War)
Canaan (Good Smile Company)
Kobato (Kotobukiya)

My May Haul

May 14

Posted by lovelyduckie in Hauls | 7 Comments

Its been a long time since my last haul! Although this past year it seems when I do get hauls the theme of One Piece seems to be showing up more and more! I just can’t resist figures of these characters! I’ve REALLY been looking forward to this figure of Luffy, it’s a nice change from his original release look (that I also love). But as excited as I was to see Luffy, the #1 item I was looking forward to was my FREEING Miyuki! I now finally have the whole gang! To think I almost ended my set at Konata! Lucky Star and One Piece continue to be my largest figure weaknesses :) I’ve taken pictures of a lot of the individual figures in this haul below. I couldn’t do everyone because I ran out of shelf space to place the figures on afterward. I’m currently re-arranging the room so I can put in another bookcase.

Miyuki – Lucky Star - FREEing
Rei and Asuka – Evangelion – SEGA
Luffy (Strong World) – One Piece – Megahouse
Hiyori – Bleach – AlphaXOmega
Scarlet Witch – X-Men – Kotobukiya
Kagami Figma (Summer) – Lucky Star – Max Factory
Nami (Strong World) – One Piece – Megahouse
Zoro (Strong World) – One Piece – Megahouse
Shirou - Fate: Stay/Night – Max Factory
Usopp (Mild) – One Piece – Megahouse
Sanji (Mild) – One Piece – Megahouse
Robin (Mild) – One Piece – Megahouse
Chopper (Strong World) – One Piece – Megahouse
WANTED Wall Scrolls – One Piece – PLEX

ARIA Hauls + My Now Complete Set

Apr 7

Posted by lovelyduckie in Hauls | 10 Comments

That’s right! I’ve already reached my ARIA figure goal! I remember when I first started collecting figures someone on my forums posted their ARIA set and I thought they seemed lovely. But a fire was really lit under me to collect them all after I fell in love with the art books and manga. I was able to afford finishing collecting the set sooner than I expected because I came into a little extra cash :) I put most of it toward my car, and the rest towards a couple figures. I achieved my goal using Yahoo Japan, eBay, Tsuki-Board, and a proxy contact that picked up one of my ladies in a shop in Japan. Overall Athena and Aika proved the most difficult for me to find.

Last Week’s Haul

Mar 4

Posted by lovelyduckie in Hauls | 8 Comments

I couldn’t put these goodies in the same image because each photo is one day of packages! Although on this haul I seem to have gotten unlucky doubles, I was accidentally sent two Tsukasa Figmas, when one should have been Kagami. And for manga this is my 2nd copy of volume 3 of Nausicaa of the Valley. But no big deal, both places are giving me what I actually ordered soon. Also remember the Nagi mixup I was talking about before? Well as you can see I got the Nagi I was looking for! Not to mention the first of my Toy’s Works ARIA figures arrived! I really like them, they’re definitely not my highest quality figures, but they have a certain pleasant presence that makes me smile. I really can’t wait to have them all lined up on my shelf. Also, that mousepad was a dumb purchase, the image looked lovely, the price was good, so of course it’s a cheap piece of crap. First time I’ve regretted a purchase in a long time. Pictures below of some of the items in this haul.

Haul Post and a New Collection Goal

Feb 18

Posted by lovelyduckie in Hauls | 9 Comments

SEBASTIAN! Both in nendoroid and delicious figure form! Also CLOUD! Oh what a manly haul this is! Henrietta is a delightful find, she cost $55 with shipping, I pretty much paid the original retail price for her (definitely no more than a few dollars over). I enjoy Gunslinger Girl, but I’m not a frantic fan of the series. But something about this Henrietta figure has a beautiful sadness to it that made me put it on my wishlist. I get the same feeling off this one that I get from my Kotobukiya Chise.
