Actually, my wallet’s empty at the moment. I’m using my credit card… 8o
And I did cancel some other order to fulfill this one (Shilfietta Lashia from Atelier Sai)

Daiki quality I can trust. Atelier Sai has so far been disappointing to me. (badly made action figures of the Original bubblegum crisis quartet)

Also, I notice that all Atelier Sai figures have the same generic face regardless of the different anime they come from.

The black Mai is also in the same colour scheme as the event-only black and gold Kasumi which were bootlegged and sold as originals in SG. But this is MAI, the original bouncing, fighting game babe. (Chun Li never bounces)

Hence, I decided to invest in her.

I think there was a purple colored event-only version as well. Luckily for my wallet, she ain’t available online. 8)

Your Toushirou fandom is truly exemplary, sirs. Alas, my (lack of funds in) wallet has ruled the day on this one… ;_;

I can’t resist. Already place a pre-order at HS. Luckily, they only allow 1 per customer. Else, I probably get a pair again. I’m too much of a Mai and Cobra-Kai fan to not buy this one. :)

I large scale and larger price. Daiki seems to have developed a trend!! I pass because Their Cow-Girl pvc has “Milked” away to much cash! :)

I’m probably with you on this one Shingo. I love the Black Ver., but considering the price I will likely have to pass on this one due to my preorder of the original, but damn, I really want this one too. The page on Daiki’s website is like a crack dealer poking his head out of the alley as you walk by, “come on man, you know you want it.” So maybe with crack it’s real easy to just keep walking, but this is Toushirou, much more addictive.

I’d make some sort of witty response post, but that figure just struck me 100 times in the space of a second and my internal organs are now busy rupturing inside my body.
