I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED with this figure. Yeah... it's too bad i spent too much to buy this figure. I thought that it was great to have a figure dressed in a beautiful wedding dress. Because of that thought, i kinda got carried away and forgot all things i have to consider, like sculpt quality, detail, etc. Well, at that time i myself still a beginner in figure collecting world, so i think this was the first mistake i made in buying figure.

This figure is very unique. Bandai created an amazing work of art. But i'm not referring to the sculpt, but the color change feature. Overall this figure isn't really that great. A leaner, equipped with support, does not have nice eyes. But i can say one thing for sure: Haruhi looks sexy in this figure.

This is the first Shana figure i bought, and also the first bikini figure i bought. It's another nice addition to the collection. This Shana has a sexy pose, and also a nice feature. You can make her bikini transparent if you give her some heat, just like Haruhi Metamo.

This figure is my first nendoroid. As a figure collector, it's mandatory that i have to get at least one Nendoroid. It's actually very fun to play with the nendoroids, especially if you have more than one nendo.

I bought this together with Nendoroid Haruhi. Bought it in my local store, and i got it with some nice normal price. It's pretty much the same as Nendoroid Haruhi, bought to complete the collection and add more fun in playing with the nendoroids.

I bought this also together with Nendoroid Haruhi and Mikuru. I think this is the most plain nendoroid from all 3 SHnY nendoroids. But i like this Yuki because she came with a chair. It's nice property to add the enjoyment of playing with nendoroids.

Teana Lanster is my favorite character from Nanoha Strikers. And because of this, i bought her without knowing that she came from Movic. People recognized Movic as a bad manufacturer. And i can see why people doesn't really like Movic. I've seen so many flaws in this figure. Well, it's for the sake of Teana Lanster anyway.

This is the first my first full set of gashapon i bought. But i bought this gashapon set together with my friends. I got Miyuki in school uniform and Kagami in miko outfit. Not much i can expect from a set of gashapon. But i think it's great for a Lucky Star fan, and of course Kagami fan like me.

This is my first figma figure. I had no problem with this figma, it's just that it has smaller number of parts. I missed Yuki figma at first because i don't really like Yuki. So as my favorite character, i made figma Haruhi as my first figma trial. The only downside of figma is visible joint, overall figma is fun to play with.

figma Nanoha is my second figma. After this figma, i found out that there are some flaws in figma figures. Nanoha's hair and Nanoha's hand are some problems you can find in this figure. But i bought this figure because Nanoha has some weaponry attached with her. I bought her because i like to make some action scene with Nanoha.

A second Kureha added to my collection. I bought this because i find her in a good deal in Surabaya Toy Fest 2008. It's somewhat impulse buying because i got carried away by the "event aura". Well, i usually try to avoid buying figure for a character i already have but this time i can't resist the temptation. :P

As Shuraki got so popular between figure collector, i got carried away and eventually bought one of the Shuraki. I found this buried treasure also in Surabaya Toy Fest 2008. I think GSC did a very good job on making the Shuraki figures. And i think Liu Meifeng is the 2nd best Shuraki IMO. (FYI the 1st best Shuraki is Char IMO).

From this figure, i started worshiping to like Alter's work. I knew that Alter has some potential in making figures. Moreover, Alter dominated Nanoha series figures, like Rein, Fate, etc. Nanoha series itself is popular, and people is waiting for some nice manufacturer to create a great figures for this series. And this Reinforce proved that Alter is capable to do the job.

Another one of the Kotobukiya Shining Wind figures. I think this Elwing is a great figure compared to the other Kotobukiya's figures. Except her skin is too pale. But the main reason i bought this figure is because of her Shining Wind outfit. It's sexier than the Shining Tears version.

This is another Alter's masterpiece. It's huge haul really... I bought her in the 2nd release. I entered the figure collecting world after some great figures already sold out everywhere, like Alicia Florence (GSC), and this figure. I'm glad that Alter's gave me the chance to collect precious item like this.

I don't know why, but i feel like misfortune was playing with me throught this figure. Yeah, i got total of 3 unlucky events regarding this figure. The first is about shipment, i have to pay a total amount of IDR 750k because of UPS and custom. The 2nd bad event is her hand is broken. And the 3rd is also another broken hand. But overall, this Fate is the most enjoyable figma, because she has so many weapons with her.

I always said that this figure woken up my figure collecting instinct. I bought her right away after seeing her announced, regardless of whoe she is. Many people alwasy complain about her size, but i think she's still a great figure with so many details on her. She got energetic and sexy pose. A must have for a figure collector, eventhough she's somewhat expensive.

Another figma i bought to play with. figma Konata isn't really my favorite, but i feel like i have to buy her because i can't let Kagami suffers from loneliness. Too bad she got some problem with the parts. Her front hair, is loose, and her peg connector is also loose. Meh... Because of those problems i had with figmas, i started to lose hope on figma, and decided to stop buying them.

This is the almost the worst figure i ever had. One of the worst Kotobukiya figure. The sculpt is so rough, that you can see seamline around her hair. I think Kotobukiya should handle thair sculpt carefully, before they mass produce this figure. Anyway i decided to buy her because of Shining Wind appearance.

A nice figma here. I bought her because she has her guitar with her. A nice addition to figma collections. With this you can play a little bit more creative because you have more properties with her. This figma has no problem (for now), so i think Max Factory really improved in making their figma.

My 4th Nendoroid in my Nendo collection. She's a cool nendoroid, compared to the other nendo. Except the black version is cuter than this red version. Anyway it's still a nice addition to my collection. It's been awhile since i got a nendoroid.

This is my first maid figure in my collection. I've been looking for her actually. She's one of the nice Kotobukiya To Heart maid series. I'm also still looking for the Kousaka Tamaki maid version. But this one is still a nice addition to my collection. Moreover, i like her with her maid outfit, and maid outfit is my favorite moe.

I don't know why i bought this pre-owned Al Azif, but i think i got carried away by "event aura". I can see that she's cute, so i think i bought her and safe her from the stack of unboxed figures. She's a bit expensive for a pre-owned figure though.

Airi is one of this figure i bought in Toy Magz Fair 2008. Before i bought her, i already knew that this figure is pretty popular. Also i bought Airi to check out Megahouse's quality. Well, i got tendency to only buy from popular manufacturer like MaxFact, GSC, Alter, and Koto, and not trusting other manufacturer other than those 4. She's a nice figure i'd say. The only thing i concerned about her is her loose ribbon, that's all.

A nice and cute figure. At first i didn't know that Chrono Gate is a name of manufacturer, because i saw Kotobukiya's logo in the back of the box. After some research, i found out that i have a very great deal of this figure. She's nice and cute. The only thing bothering me is her right hand that cover her cute smile.

The god of figure! All hail Alter! All hail Hayate! All i can do now is worship her. She's the greatest figure and the most expensive figure i've ever bought. And on top of that, she was released at the global economic crisis time, so i think people would spend most of their budget for this figure.

A nice Suzumiya Haruhi figure from Alter. This is my favorite because she has a nice quality and a dynamic pose. Alter really made a very good job, and i can see their figure are improving more and more overtime. I think this is the best Haruhi figure, before the extravaganza version released.

I've spent total : IDR 17,582,000 for this year. Wel'll assume that this year average exchange rate is IDR 10000 per USD and IDR 110 per yen.
Some noticeable statistic :
Most expensive figure : Yagami Hayate (Alter) - IDR 2,000,000
Cheapest figure : Lottie Gelh (Chrono Gate) - IDR 150,000
Unworthy figure : Ignis The White (Orchid Seed) - IDR 1,175,000
This year favorite figure : Suzumiya Haruhi (Alter) - IDR 800,000
Out of the price figure : figma Fate Testarossa (Max Factory) - IDR 750,000
Heck, there's so many spending for this year because of the figure. That's not all, i haven't included games, camera, and computer spendings.
EDIT: Layout's done! Enjoy!
ouch for that ignis the white... 1 mil but only 3/10 :O
ReplyDeleteYeah, i was still a beginner who doesn't know anything about figure at that time.
ReplyDeleteWell, it'll take me about a decade to get this many figures. Oh well, nice! Looking forward to seeing what you'll get in 2009.

ReplyDeleteThere are some other people that have more collections than me in this year. I think i'll get less in 2009.
