Final Fantasy 7 Remake - Cloud Strife

Yay! Cloud finally arrived. I don't really have much to say about this figure...I didn't expect his sword to be so big (even though it's common sense. I am also still really bad about checking measurements...Anyways, I think his sculpting is okay. There's something about his face I don't love, it kind of looks like he's wearing makeup?? But I'm happy to have a figure of him in SOLDIER gear! My FF7 shelf is so full right now, so I think I will take a day to empty out all of my shelves and redo it all!

Decorating Melty's Shelf

Not a new figure but my Sumikko Gurashi Cake Shop miniature complete set came in, and of course I had to immediately open everything and put them on a shelf. I bought these months ago with the intention of having a sweets shelf shortly after I ordered Melty and pre-ordered this Honkai Elysia figure. I'm very happy with how it turned out! It's so cute! Though, I'm rethinking the lighting setup on this particular case this was set in--the LEDs are towards the back, so IRL and in photos it casts a dark shadow on my displays. Makes it very hard to photograph, and also...I just feel like it doesn't fit the vibe of the figures (which are mostly Mikus, nendos, and other cute girls.) Maybe the backlit lighting would suit better my Berserk and random male FF figures (like Sephiroth and Vincent) but sadly, the shelves on this unit are too small to fit them T_T

I guess I'll shop around and see what I can find that's not an LED strip. But I really hate dealing with wiring....

Shingeki no Kyojin - Levi - Artfx J

I completely forgot that I ordered these a while ago! These two Levi figures took a long time to arrive as I chose Sea Saver shipping for them. Both arrived nicely, the shipping box sturdy and well packed. I had trouble with putting these together honestly because all ODM wire things all looked the same....Took me wayyy longer to get set up than it should have but whatever!

The tree Levi figure is kind of awkward to take a photo of because of how his body is twisted in an action pose. It looks very cool and is definitely unique, so I'm pretty pleased with him. The Fortitude figure (the bloodied one) is SO beautiful. NGL I bought this one purely because he looked bloodied and beat up :3 There's just something about beat up 2D men....♡

Xenosaga - Kos-Mos

Waifu brainrot ♡ KOS-MOS is another character that I've loved for years, since I was a teen. Maybe I'm biased but these figures are beautiful! The sculpting of all her intricate details is so well done and pretty, I love spending time just staring at her.

Vampire Miku - L - 8,000 jpy

Not gonna lie...I just bought her because she is cute and dressed in girly kei. I don't particularly like the DECO*27 song she's based on but I can never pass up character figures that are dressed in specific JFashion styles.

(Shining Hearts) Melty de Granite - 1/8 - 11,000 jpy

She finally arrived! I chose to get ther via sea saver shipping to see how long it would take and if the nearly $30-$50 difference in shipping price would be worth it. It took about three months to get stateside, and the shipping box was pretty much perfect. I expected it to be beat up a little bit, but it was fine and the figure box within was in perfect shape due to SOLARISJP's immaculate packing. So was sea shipping worth it? I think so! Or, at least for figures that I am not foaming at the mouth to have right this instant. In the future I will probably use it more. As an exercise in patience.

Now, onto Melty's details. She is so stinkin cute! Her sculpting is fantastic for how "old" this figure is, the detail in her hair and the ruffles in her hat and dress are very pretty. Her pose is one of the cutest I've seen with her sitting on an ice cream cone. And the base is just as cute, it's a plate with a cute little stamp of her familiar on it. Melty's color scheme is right up my alley. The only slightly negative thing I have to say is that she lacks in shading, so in some areas she may look a little flat, but that's something I am willing to overlook because this figure is to my taste, a cute dark & pastel witch with a sweets motif.

(Original) Raqel - 1/6 - 17,819 jpy

Isn't she cute!? She's from 2011, and was one of my Holy Grail items that I was really fiending to get. I finally broke down and ordered her after a while. I wasn't going to because I'm starting to run out of space in my room, and the space that IS available is set aside for other releases this year but you know...I couldn't help myself. So right now, I've just thrown her on top of a shelf but I plan on moving her into a lighted one soon because her outfit is dark, so it's hard to see the details without any lighting.

I am a sucker for gothic and girly designs. My favorite design points for her are her cute platform heels and the headdress. I also love the checkered floor base and the mirror. The only thing I hate is that when you view her from a certain angle...All you can see is BOOTY CHEEKS. I don't wanna have to explain that to my mom.

(NieR: Replicant) Emil Nendoroid - 6,000 jpy

Baby boy!!!!! I finally got my hands on him. He is my child I love him so much. I was crushed by [REDACTED] in NieR. I'm so happy he's mine now. I missed out on the pre-orders and couldn't find him secondhand for a decent price for a bit because of scalpers getting rich off of the Automata hype. I got lucky when I found him for sale randomly at retail price. His nendo is cute (imo!) But it was kind of hard to maneuver his cloak without his arms popping out or the cloak itself shifting. Probably the hardest time I've had with a nendo. Despite drawing and having other hobbies that require nimble fingers, I always have a time with nendos.

He comes with a tiny lil Lunar Tear flower, and some extra hands and arms that I absolutely did not want to deal with. One day I'll get better at dealing with nendos.

(Boku no Hero Academia) Toga Himiko - 1/7 - 25,000 jpy

She finally came in after being delayed like twice! This Himiko Toga figure is SO cute, I love that she's perched on a pile of stuffies and other cute stuff. I didn't realize that the chains were...actually chains so I had to drape them around the figure myself. It was a little hard because I'm pretty clumsy with my fingers. She came with an extra faceplate of her just smiling :) but it was boring and I like her weirdo face more.
