\nYour Rarest Figure | Click to enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n

Which is your rarest figure? We’ve seen the newest favorites, and the biggest wastes, but the rarest?<\/p>\n

For me, I’d have to say my 1\/8-scale-resin figure “Arima & Yukino” (from the classic-anime love-story “Kare Kano” or “His & Her Circumstances”), released by the now-defunct Tsukuda Hobby back in the late ’90s. If I hadn’t seen the anime, I would never have found it. But in January 2007, through sheer luck in the Amazon Marketplace, I stumbled upon it (original box included), and after several months of waiting for the perfect time, I finally used 3 Amazon gift certificates to afford it! Luckily, nobody else was looking for it, lol.<\/p>\n

Here’s the March 2007<\/a> photoshoot.<\/p>\n

P.S. Just for my own reference: Blog 044<\/a> and Blog 093<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
