Stop Meee Please!

Despite the title, this post is nothing serious but just a list of my figures pre-order. I used to have a very limited budget for my very expensive, somewhat useless collecting figurine hobby, and I have not spent over 60 dollars on a single figure (well, not yet). But thing has changed since I got a decent paid interns for this fall (til Dec), so my budget has suddenly increased, and I couldn't stop clicking the "PRE-ORDER" button; stop me please ^^;

Anyway, here are the figures I pre-ordered so far. All the images are gotten from HobbySearch although I didn't pre-order there. Well, the cost for EMS shipping is still too much for me.

1. Ikki Tousen Kanu Unchou by Daiki Kougyo:

Ikki Tousen Kanu Unchou

This figure is my most favorite one in the list; that is why she goes first. I have never heard of the manufacturer Daiki Kugyo. I just hope the figure will look as good as the one in the picture. It will cost about 15,000 yen (about 145 dollars); it will be the most expensive figure in my collection ^^;

2. Suzumiya Haruhi by Daiki Kougyo:

Suzumiya Haruhi Daiki Kougyo Ver.

Another gorgeous figure by Daiki Kougyo. I guess everyone knows about Haruhi; and I think many of you have this pre-ordered as well. Again, I just hope the final figure looks as good as the picture above.

3. Gwendolyn by Alter:

Gwendolyn Alter ver.

Gwendolyn is the heroine in the PS2 game Odin Sphere. Well, I got the game about a year ago, but I am still in chapter one ^^;

4. Saber by Gift:

Saber Gift ver.

5. Queen Blade Leina by MegaHouse:

Leina 2P Collar Ver.

6. Queen Blade Nanael by MegaHouse:

Queens Blade Nanael

Actually there were few more figures I wanted to pre-order, but I want to save that money for a better camera (maybe a DSLR). To me, the fun part for collecting figurine is taking picture of them, and share with other; so I want to get a better camera. I will borrow a Canon SD850 from my friend, and if the quality satisfies me, then I will just get it rather than an expensive DSLR camera. Any advices on camera are welcome; my budget is about 500-800 dollars.

By the way, three out of the six figures are under mature rank, so I am currently updating the site to handle these adult contents.

Panasonic FZ 18 or the newer FZ 28 . The only choice (my opinion only) if you don't want a DSLR . It takes awesome crisp pics if you learn to use it corectly . I love it (L)

I wanted to buy all the figures on your list but i won't have the money so i just did order Gwendoline . But i would love to get Nanael and Kanu :o

Great choices :)

I think I spent way more than you and I am only on allowance, this sucks.

None of your figures are in my list though lol.

Well, I reckon regardless which camera u choose, taking good pictures depends on the lighting. If u can get the lighting right, any pictures will turn out great. I'm a camera noob so there is much more i need to learn. -_-

Nothing in ur list I want but that Haruhi is tempting. :3

That's a lot more impulsive buying there : P
None in my want list so far. I haven't planned to get anymore figures in the mean time, but it's still nice looking at other's collections and photoshoots. The non-scale Haruhi reminsd me a resin kit that highly resembles this pose.

i ordered the saber as well. the armour is just so beautifully detailed it's hard to resist not buying.

anyway the pre-order button is really evil. it's so harmless looking when u press it until the credit card bill comes end of the month. ^^;
