Crossovers have been a real hit in Japan lately so it's no surprise that these were made to celebrate the anniversary of the two shonen magazines. I've been eyeing them for a while now, but I really don't know the characters well enough to want to buy them. I know there was a similar set made of girls at a festival. I'll stick with the Shonen Jump crossovers myself. I probably don't need as many DBZxOne Piece figures as I have on preorder, but I find them hard to resist. There's also a DBZxOPxNaruto set coming that I preordered without actually having pictures of. Hope we see something before it's released.

These are really cute!
I'm a little surprised that this collection doesn't seem to include any representatives from Shonen Magazine's Tsubasa-RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- (ugh, capitalization), considering how inexplicably popular that is with all sorts of demographics-- or Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Sunday's Hayate the Combat Butler. I guess it's nice to see the more popular, "in" manga step aside for the older, completed series. Personally, I think they should make a figure of Buff Manly Man Ataru from the fifth UY movie. Hoorah, redesigns! |

Fairy Tail != older, completed series.
These are nice... I kind of want one. What's the scale? |

I've got quite a few of these crane figures thanks to con dealers usually selling them for 12-20 bucks. A little step considering how cheap they are (if you're good), but quite the bargain if you suck.
The quality does fluctuate, but you can get some surprisingly well made stuff. I have quite a few nice SEGA made Asukas myself. They're nothing compared to the Gothloli Koto, but they're also half the price. It never ceases to amaze me how well done some of the cheapo figures can be. Oh there are plenty of awful ones too, but that's true for anything. These look nice. I'll keep an eye out for them. I still need a nice Lum. |

Oh...gosh. That made me green with envy. I've always loved Love Hina series and Naru is my fave. So far, that's the only action figure (or doll figure <3) I'd want in my whole anime life
I didn't realize they were still making some more old anime figures. Guess I should check this more often. |

I can't stand love hina so I don't really like the naru one but I really like lum it's really nice and well made. Plus ten is a cute accessory.
If I see lum she might look cute on my book shelf seeing as I don't really have a large collection of figures and I can't really see myself having one. Only a few to complement my manga and anime  but these really caught my eye because they were well made.

I really hate to be the annoying spelling nazi that no one likes... but it's graffiti. I know, I would rather have it be 'ph' instead of an 'f', but not everyone can have want they want in life 
On a second note, I want to take those figurines home. NOW. I haven't even watched the serie(s). Darn you japanese and your fancy flying mach---- I mean crane machines!! |

Those look great. The only Love Hina ones I have are:
Mitsune Konno - 1/6 Scale Otohime Mitsune - 1/8 Scale Both are Cold Cast Resin Statues done by Epoch for Tokyo Mint LLC. They are both Limited Edition (600 Castings each only). They are the Pride and Joy of my Statue/Figurine Collection. |

HAHAHA! Thanks for giving me a good laugh on a Monday morning. 
Edit: And then my fiancee pointed out that maybe Rob wasn't being sarcastic there. She said, "*I* wish they'd put more girls in uniforms, rather than in lingerie and open jump-suits." |

Gidget would be proud; I'd die to get my hands on Narusegawa; oh joy are the days of old where the lovely harem manga had me gleaming with joy and laughter! |
