So I initially resisted the Eye Up Kamina and Yoko figures, there were a lot of other figures I wanted around that release date and I really had to talk myself out of them. I talked myself out of them because I was hungrily collecting the fabulous (and expensive) FREEing Haruhi bunnies and I purchased the majority of them around that time (Haruhi/Mikuru re-release and Ryoko first release). But now that Nia and Viral are announced, I can’t take it anymore. I’ve been particularly anxious for another Nia figure and I’m very happy that my wishes have been answered. I own the Konami Nia which is lovely but her pose is a bit awkward. Initially I was a bit surprised to see Viral got a figure but he is such a good character that he definitely deserves a figure and I’m glad Eye Up/upLark did a figure of him. That manufacturer wins for focusing on more then just the sexy female characters in their figures.
