Well, sure, there's no denying that most of these figures are very cute. But to be honest, I think I'd find it rather...creepy...to be surrounded by dozens of scantily-clad plasticine anime girls. Those idealized representations of female sexuality, staring at you eternally with those longing eyes...*shudder*. I suppose it's yet another aspect of fandom I'll never be able to wrap my mind around; I don't do much better with the idea of cosplaying, actually. Razz

My figure collection is a tad skewed toward naughty. Embarassed (Although I only have one Ikki figure. I can't afford to collect all of them. I plan to add more Ryofu figures but that's it.)

My sister's figure collection dwarfs mine easily so not all girls are prejudicial about such things.


What figures does she collect Richard? Anime figures or just misc figures from other shows? As for the Ikki figures, I am ashamed of you!! I mean only one figure?! You are disappointing me my padawan. I mean with all the Ikki avatars I supply you I'd expect you to have at least 2-3 figures. You have made me a sad panda Richard. A sad panda indeed.

I find anime figures rather creepy. I'll never collect them myself. They're just staring at me every day and night like they want to strangle me in my sleep with a shoelace......

I think it's pretty insane that FMP:TSR didn't get shelf worthy. Putting it in the same boat as Black Blood Brothers isn't even funny.

Don't listen to this review. TSR is amazing and, like Fumoffu, a lot better than the original FMP. While I do agree it's more enjoyable if you are familliar with the characters, it's definitely worth watching even if you aren't.

For people like me who have been BAWWING since they stopped releasing GitS: Stand Alone Complex, this is the show for you; excellent visuals, sound effects, fight scenes, characters and story. It's non-stop entertainment that you don't have to be a mech fan to enjoy.

Definitely worth buying.
