~Holo the Wise 「狼と香辛料」 賢狼ホロ~

First figure by Resinya (Cospa), and somewhat mixed feelings about it. Well, bemused is more like it I suppose. Originally liked this version of Holo the most even if she doesn’t resemble the anime version thanks to a rather chubby and round face. But aesthetically, this version was most pleasing to my eye so I decided to go for this one.

~ef 「Minori」 the first tale~

Almost didn’t manage to get this post up at all, thanks to the game popping up a cryptic message telling me my settings didn’t allow me to run this game. After spending a rather torturing 2 hours updating drivers and whatnot that wasn’t really needed, I finally came upon the solution in a forum. And now the clock on my PC tells me the local time in Tokyo… -_-”

~Ruka 「Ar Tonelico II」 瑠珂~

I totally loved Ar Tonelico when I got it, the game mechanics were interesting, the characters were sweet, and the soundtrack was totally awesome. Sadly, no figures were made of the characters (or if there was, I missed them and now I have to hunt them down!) in Ar Tonelico so when Ruka was announced, I pretty much had to get her since I guess I’ll be loving Ar Tonelico II as well ^^;

~Mizuki Sakaki 「Lovely Idol。らぶドル」 榊瑞樹~

Always wanted her since I watched the anime, even though it wasn’t really a great anime whatsoever. My standards were lower back then (duh, like I have standards now :p) so I liked it, and the trading figures of them that were released weren’t quite for me since I try to avoid trading figures. Initially slated for a Nov release, Mizuki kept getting delayed till this month and after the long wait, she’s finally here! ^^

~Feena 「夜明け前より瑠璃色な」 フィーナ~

Not really one to go for swimsuit figures, Feena ended up in my collection somehow despite a prior cancellation. Kinda dumb that I gave up on the early bird preorder, only to order her again when she was released. I think people mostly wait till release to sneak a peek at the actual before canceling, I just have to be dumb and do things in a somewhat reverse way ^^;

~Ikuno Komaki 「TH2AD」 小牧郁乃~

Hey there, with shino yapping about throwing in the towel and whining about how his pc is dying on him, and wishing that his photoshop would die so he wouldn’t have to deal with photos no more, I, the REAL Mr. To Heart 2, have taken it upon myself to do this post :p

~Alice Carroll 「Aria・アリア」 アリス・キャロル~

Got her since she was on sale, as well as I never did have anything Alice, even though I arguably liked her the most in Aria somehow. Never did try too hard to get the Alice by Solid Works since putting her together with the rest of them would prove to be somewhat difficult. So just made do with the Punit, and it’s a lot cuter too :p

~Bah Hambug~

~Hayami Kohinata 「H2O-Footprints in the Sand」 小日向はやみ~

Totally enjoyed the anime and by the time the anime ended, this figure was pretty much long gone from the normal places except for ebay. Thankfully, I was able to get her thanks to one kind soul who decided to give her up for me xD

~Hime 「怪物王女」 姫~

Kind of mixed feelings with this figure, quality-wise, Hime’s really pretty sweet. The bonus of having Flandre is a nice touch as well. Now if only Hime looks more like she’s supposed to -_-
