So who collects these models? Be it gundam mechs, or just lady figures.
How many do you have and do you have pictures of your collection? Typically how much do you spend on them, and how much would you spend?
I've just found myself firmly on the wrong (maybe right) side of the otaku line, after having spilled 200 beans on a chun li figure.
Awesome, beautiful figure, but still. What. the. fuck.
But nonetheless, I shall not regret! Ridiculously pricey, and expensive, but also rare as all get out; http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=794
A big fan of the sculptors works (also eyeing closely his Ino figure, and maybe the cammy one.)
The Chun Li one looks deadset accurate to the sculptors pictures. Every last detail of the figure is replicated, which is good.
The Ino one actually looks to be an improvement over the one in his gallery which is great. And its significantly cheaper than the Chunli model.
The Cammy one on the otherhand is some what inaccurate; the face on the one in his gallery is much softer... owing to the fact that he's modelled the eyelashes on, but the painted ones look... kinda harsh. I love the soft look... but, not sure about the sharper, edgier look. It's otherwise a pretty perfect figure though.
Something annoying about this model is that... there are black versions of it available off ebay for something like 35 bucks... and it looks pretty good. But it's black. In fact, I even prefer the face on the black one.
However, I get the feeling if I do get that version, I'll end up looking at it and wishing it was the standard color.
If I do go with that... I'm in... too deep. I'll have a figure collection! And I'll have spent ridiculous amounts! So what to do GAF? Embrace the inner nerd and display girly models proudly, or just live down an impulsive $200 purchase and nod knowingly as if it were some exclusive art piece if anyone asks about it?
