Been looking at this listing for some time on eBay, and decided this’d come up in the November budget, if it was still around. At one point it got delisted for some days, so thought the shop must’ve got rid of it elsewhere, but it turned up again :D. Didn’t come with box, but the price was appropriately cheap. 

So here she is, in her smiley glory! Came a lot quicker than expected, as she was sent EMS. Wasn’t expecting that!

Here’s a side shot:

She’s in a bent-over pose, hence not everything being in focus in the first shot. Does give something to the figure, rather than being a “bog standard” Asuka. 

Due to her position, she’s also showing off one of her assets:

The blackish bits are a bit odd on her back though. I’ll be mostly looking at her from the front though. She’s nicely painted and sculpted, and I rather like this figure. 

Been looking at the Evangelion x Wonda-Chan figures over the last couple of months, but for the size of figure, they’re usually pretty expensive. But his one turned up in Mandarake for a good price:

One of the ones I almost bought off a seller had a broken peg, on receiving it, I could understand why – the pegs are long and thin, and her legs are naturally a bit too narrow to peg straight on. For anyone getting this figure, I’d strongly recommend heating her legs to make them pliable. 

Here’s her back:

And her cute butt :). Lovely paintwork, lovely colours. Decided to just buy her on her own instead of paying a bit more for the pair, as she’s the one I really wanted :). If I see the Asuka Wanda-Chan for a good price, I’ll buy though :). 

Have been thinking of getting a Valkyrie figure for a bit, but saw this colour variation on Facebook buy-sell group. One trip to Mandarake, and this one made its way over the sea to me, for at least half the price:

Compared to the other Eikoh figures I’ve got in this range, this one’s a bit on the disappointing side. Her blade was a bit scuffed up, despite her box still being sealed. Most of her is nicely painted, but she just doesn’t seem to have the same impact as the others. 

The back of her also looks kinda plasticky:

Won’t be looking at her back much, so it isn’t a big deal, but maybe a little bit of paint would’ve helped with the expanse of white. 

She has grown on me a bit since I’ve got her, so I’m not disappointed by her, and she didn’t exactly break the bank. 

This is a figure I’ve had on my Mandarake favourite list for some time:

His box was smaller than I thought it would be, but seems a decent size once out of the box. Here’s his box:

I do like his suit and his pose. And blue and purple. One more for the Evangelion collection 😀

I liked the other two so much… I went and bought the other two :P. The names of this pair are Takayama Maria (one in blue) and Hasegawa Kobato. 

Hasegawa came with the small bunny rabbit :D. Here’s a slightly more upwards shot:

Here they are from the back:

And a more top-down view:

Probably going to stick with the half-round bases (One came with a furry round base, and the other came with a round chequered, not furry base), and they’re currently sitting with me at the kitchen table until I get more shelving :D. 

Was browsing MFC and came across this lovely pair for sale. 

Had seen them previously on MFC, and wanted to get the set, and these came up at a good price, so had to buy. 

This one is called Mikazuki Yozora:

And the pink one is called Kashiwazaki Sena:

And here’s a shot from the back:

They both came with a furry base, but you only really need one for the pair. 

I like these two so much, that I’ve decided to order the other pair in this set from Mandarake. The seller I bought these from had previously sold the other two, so needed to source them elsewhere. 

At the time of writing, I haven’t chosen where to display them, but some stuff may move about so they get a good spot 🙂

After the debacle that was the Oni Musume III purchase from Amazon UK, I looked around, and found that my best bet was the blue version from Amazon US. This time it was a fulfilled by Amazon item, so I was a lot more confident it’d be the right one this time!

And it was…

The right one this time! 

Here’s a side-view showing more of her off:

And the money shot:

Nice butt 😛 Glad to finally have her, and it’s nice having the alternate colour scheme, as a contrast to the other one. 

Bought this from someone in France, as it was slightly cheaper to do so… and I feel it’s one of those figures that should have been in my collection already. 

So here she is:

Love the way she’s even got two different two different colours of eye shadow. The hammer has a little peg, which is what keeps it in position, and seems to be working well thus far – she hasn’t dropped her hammer, and it stayed in place when I moved her for photographing. 

Here’s a shot showing off the hammer:

And one from the other side:

Love the pose she’s in, the striking colours and the detail in this figure. Kotobukiya put together some really nice figures, and am glad to have this one in my collection.
