DO WANT DO WANT

...I've been feeling sort of terrible. So I'm sorry for not commenting on your memes and posts, guys, I really want to :(

Ironically, I'm getting bitten by plotbunnies as well, while I'm not in the mood to write them down.



I'm not one to like SD gashapon, normally. B-but there are exceptions. Mention CLAMP no Kiseki and I'll kick you in the balls. Long, bitter story. I'd like to own the military Jade in this collection even if it's for the hilarity of a rappig as his accesory (ooh, is it Cute Jade? Would I be getting 2x1 Jades?). Granted, I would prefer the one coin figurines any day of the week if I could only buy any, but... a tiny rappig.

But that's not the point and the reason I'm making this post. IT'S THIS, MY GOD, IT'S THIS. SO UGLY YET SO CUTE. GUESS WHICH TWO I WANT. MERCHANDISING INCLUDING THEM I CAN'T BELIEVE IT I THOUGHT CAPCOM FORGOT ABOUT THEM WITH ALL THE GODOT ILLUSTRATIONS AND GYAKUKENJI PINK TEACUPS AND BULLSHIT.

Now I want some with female lawyers and sidekicks and detectives to make them company (so wanting a Trucy and an Ema). And also, they should make a hobo!Phoenix for time paradox purposes.

...Oh wait, I forgot you only get Japanese merch in my city's shops for shounen manga and Final Fantasy. Booo!

Oh! Those little SD Abyss figurines are adorable. :> My friend and I ended up buying a bunch of them at the last con we went to. My friend did try to get Jade, but we ended up getting just a bunch of Tear and Luke (and one Guy, lmao). Guess that's what you get when you're fishing in the random toy boxes. I really like them though - I got long hair Luke, short hair Luke, and maid Tear. They're crazy adorable, and the extra little accessories double as possible cellphone charms. They're pretty nice quality for little itty bitty figurines too. ♥

And I have most of the Abyss one coin figurines myself (which I also got at the same con). I'm just missing Guy. I love the Tales one coin figurines like crazy. They're really lovely, and the amount of detail they have for small figurines is really nice. I seriously go crazy over them, pffft.

I've only bought a random box of figurines once (for CLAMP, a couple of years ago), and I was lucky enough to get exactly the one I wanted! I would try my luck again for these ones because no matter what I'd get, they're still cute as hell. It's a shame they're only four characters (not counting Mieu and the random rappig), though. There should be Anise and Natalia ones as well. Asch and Ion, too.

The One Coin are some of the prettiest I've seen in any fandom. It's a shame they're so expensive and rare/impossible to find where I live, eBay aside.

I usually tend to have the exact opposite kind of luck, pffft. First time I fished in the Abyss one coin figurines, I wanted to get Luke or Guy, but ended up getting Ion, who is the secret figure. Same thing happened when I got a Phantasia one - I wanted Suzu, but I got Dhaos. Was pretty funny.

And yeah! :< I'd love to have a little figurine of Anise and Natalia too, fff. I think they just went with some of the most popular characters and ran with it.

Oh man, those figurines are going to be the death of me, I swear. Pffft. I tend to get them at cons, where they've been popping up like crazy. On average, I'd say they sell in the box at cons for about $7-$9. Which isn't too bad, and is pretty common for one coin figurines anyway. But out of the box? Oh dear god. Those things can run for $20+ on average, which is pretty ridiculous. Good for me though I suppose, if I ever wanted to sell mine. *hit* I got my main Tales collection out of the box since I didn't want to deal with trying my luck with a whole box of the figurines again. I did that with Symphonia, and it only worked out since I had friends go in on me with it. :'| Still. $260+ for figurines is pretty silly. *hit*
