I believe you are wanted at despair.com :) And wow that's quite a bit of Saber figures you are amassing. :) The GSC casual saber has a coyness that goes really well with her pose (as outfit for that matter) And yes, Kotobukiya Saber may be running towards the ground very soon. Hopefully its 1/8 stature would diminish that likelihood. Penguin saber grows on me with every passing second.. I may just have to eat my words on the outfit segment... :) Haha!

XD i liked the look of the GSC casual saber over the Kotobukiya one, even though the one by Kotobukiya is more "dynamic"... the GSC one seemed nice and something which i wouldn't regret purchasing, nor would it tip over and bend (my poor magical girl rin ;_;)... as it is 1/6th, it also compensates for the purchase of Alters 1/8th Casual Dress Saber :P (yes, i bought it, and no, i don't regret it... i just made a snap decision and went with it) that bikini saber still gives me a nose bleed though XD the “Great Art” eh?… hmmm… >.>;;

I'm afraid to catch any of the To heart series because I'm afraid of going on a mad figure buying spree if I fall in love w the characters. Zanber Fate? I LOVE it but am very concerned over balance issues which is why I haven't pre-ordered it. Of the Atelier Sai's SHUFFLE! 1/8s, I like Kaede (winter seikufu) best. :) <strong> Zyl</strong>: And I have you to thank for bringing me to kono minikuku mo utsukushii seikai where financial jigoku and figure tenkoku meets. :) <strong>Kefit</strong>: You took the words right out of my mouth! A Nemu figure's LOOOONG overdue. As for Max Factory's 1/8 Kotori, much as I LOVE Kotori, I found the pose rather subdued. :P But I suspect I'll just buy it on sight. <strong>Tsubaki</strong>: I haven't discovered the charm of trading figures just yet. :) But I supposed that's a good thing considering my financial constraints. I understand some trading figures would be nice to have around to accompany 1/8, 1/7 figures? <strong> Xellos-_^ </strong>: LOL! I don't know how to answer that. Well since the figures are by different sculptors and they have different perspectives when it comes to detailing? :P <strong>Crusader</strong>: Yes, my master.. wait a min. Yappari... so there's really something wrong with me if I think meido-Saber looks hotter than swimsuit Saber? Could it be that's why I also thought meido-Zyl looks better than miko-Zyl... oops sorry bro, slip of tongue... <strong>tj_han86</strong>: Sensei! There, now you know how responsible you are for this disciple. :) I'm proud to say I'm schooled at RIUVA. Heh. Not getting EB Saber though. The price is cutthroat though the pose is GREAT. I'm a little concern w the facial sculpt too. Something un-Saber about it. :P And hmm cancelling orders.. did you have deposits for them? <strong>Asuka</strong>: Awesome indeed! Although like you, I would have preferred say Fate over Nanoha in such a dynamic pose. :) <strong>Haesslich</strong>: Excellent point. The figure must at least be presentative of the character as far as we are willing to stretch our perception of her. I must have been reading too much limited meido works myself. :P <strong>Skane</strong>: I myself wouldn't get a tsundere Sakura since that's beyond what I'm willing to accept for her characterisation. :) <strong>Renji</strong>: Wonderful that you keen on the Great Art! :P Do check out <a href="http://www.hlj.com/top/Fig" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">HobbyLink Japan</a>. They ship worldworld. You may also want to check out <a href="http://www.amiami.com/shop/?vgform=SimpleForm&tid=10c168d1478&template=default/product/f_2.html" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Amiami</a> which is a Japanese site, faster updates but they don't take international orders.
