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*
