After over a year of waiting, I finally have the Alter versions of  Hayate, Fate, and now Nanoha from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. I know Alter has other StrikerS figures, but these three were the only ones I really cared about. They were also crazy expensive when you factor in shipping so I wouldn’t be able to afford the others anyway. Like Hayate and Fate, Nanoha also comes in a huge box. I managed to fit the first two boxes under my desk, but I have no clue where I’m going to put this third one.

Yay, my first figure post in over 3 weeks. Since my internship is over and I’m back in school, I no longer have a source of income. I’m also trying not to spend the money I already have because I’ll need it for my trip to Japan this summer. With that said, I probably won’t be getting many more figures between now and June except for the ones I’ve already preordered and perhaps a few irresistable ones like Tokido Saya. On the bright side though, I have 3 more figure reviews coming up after this one.

This is the last of the figures that I got in the 4 months that I was away: a nendoroid of Ryougi Shiki from Kara no Kyoukai. I wasn’t expecting this figure to be particularly good, but I liked Kara no Kyoukai so I decided to get it anyways. You can see the shots that I took from the front, sides, and back.

I watched the first three episodes of Tears to Tiara and I can’t say that I liked it very much, but this nendoroid of Riannon was just too cute to pass up. As with most nendoroids, she’s manufactured by Good Smile Company, which is getting pretty good with their nendoroid designs.

Besides the nendoroid school life playsets, I had never bought anything else from Phat company, so this is my first figure from them. From Phat’s official website, their name stands for “Pretty hot and tempting,” and this is their 4th nendoroid release, making them a relatively new company to enter the figure market. It seems as though they are a part of or partners with Good Smile Company though, so their figures should be of good quality.

Raspberyl herself is from the PS3 game Disgaea 3. She’s the most delinquent demon in the netherworld, and in my opinion, the most adorable too. This is what she looks like straight out of the box:
