The order I placed during the free shipping promotion at HLJ has arrived. I tried to get figures from a wide range of manufacturers to sample their style and quality.
Closer up photos of the boxes:
Airi by MegaHouse
Fauna by Alter
C.C. by Alpha x Omega
Ikaruga Satsuki by Orchid Seed
Kureha Nendoroid by Good Smile Company
Asakura Yume by CM’s Corporation
I’m looking forward to doing reviews on them all!
Shopping for Figures
Figure Haven: August 2011 Shipment
Satsuki Ikaruga by Orchid Seed
Figure Haven: March 2010 Additions
Wao, sweet loot! Fauna and NendoKureha look pretty great, and getting figures from different companies seem like a great idea to see who’s good at what.
I also especially look forward to reading a review of Ikaruga Satsuki because she probably has the best last name ever…!!

Woohoo, nice! Looks like you really took advantage of the free shipping >=D

Whoo ^^ Nice Loot ^^ My favorite is Fauna (I love her). What do you think about Satsuki ?

That version of Ikagura Satsuki had been on my to-watch list due to sales for months, so tell me how she is
I suspect you might be displeased with Asakura Yume.
Fauna! I like that series of models, it’s lovely

Series of models, that is.

@polymetrica: Yeah, sampling different makers is good if you have some extra money for it. I don’t really know much about Ikaruga Satsuki, just bought it because it was on sale and looked like a decent figure from Orchid Seed.
@Snark: Yah, otherwise EMS shipping costs is a killer. =/
@Leonia: Hmm, my initial impression is that I like the overall design and character, but there might be something off about the hair. I’ll have to take a closer look at it first since it’s still in the box.
@Guy: Sure thing, although I’m not sure when I’ll get around to it – maybe next week? =D
Yeah, that Asakura Yume might not be up to my standards – once again I need to take a closer look at it first though.
Fauna is pretty nice; love Alter work as usual. I actually haven’t look at the other figures in that series yet.

Nice loot. My favs are fauna and Asakura, but the entire loot is awesome!
