Figures...

Hello again,

As per my last few posts I've added a few recent additions. Although, I'm without a decent camera at the moment I did take a few extra pictures and I'd like to share.

First up; Non-Non. Based on the illustrations of Shunya Yamashita. This 1/8 figure by Yamato is by far my favorite. I've been a "collector" for some time and only recently expanded into the realm of Japanese figures. When I first saw this I said that I had to have it. When I heard the name Shunya Yamashita I knew I've seen it before. A quick wiki and google search gave me some great info and I instantly became a fan of his work. (Although, I still haven't gotten any of his books.) I wish to expand my figure collection with more figures based off his work. I think these will be the central part of my figure collection.




Again, I apologize for the poor quality of the photographs. I hope to correct that soon.

Back to Non-Non. This is a superb figure. With a great amount of detail and an almost flawless paint job. There are a few areas where the paint goes beyond the intended point, but it's only noticeable at very close views. Still, the pose and overall workmanship is quite stunning.

The next figure is Fuka Ayase from the comic Yotsuba&! This 1/8 figure is by Kaiyoko. As I mentioned in the post when I got her. I won her in a contest at Mania.com. I enter all their contests in the hopes of winning. Although, I can't call myself a fan of the manga it was a nice surprise to actually win a figure. She's really well sculpted with a nice attention to detail.




She's a welcome addition to the collection.

Anyways, so thats it for my FIRST figure review. I know they'll get better once I get into the swing of things.
