I unboxed a few figures from a few recent hauls, so I'll be spamming a lot of crappy, terribly lit photos of some of those. First is my Square Enix FORM-ISM NieR: Replicant ver.1.22474487139… Nier Complete Non-Scale Figure. I got two, so I could unbox one. I love this version quite a lot. I also own the Statuette version, but I sadly never got my double, so I never unboxed one. I also have the Nendoroid and two of the Taito child NieR Spooky Chibi Boy figures based on this NieR. I feel like I might still be able to get a second of the Statuette one, so I will try to do that. This one is gorgeous! So many nice details, and the face paint apps are pretty clean and detailed for such a small figure.

I took a lot of photos, because I love this version of NieR and was disappointed that I didn't get a choice when the game first released, to play brother NieR. Although, the original version young NieR is a lot darker, aesthetically, I like this "cleaner" version just as much. I always wanted to make a custom figure based young/brother NieR, but the outfit alone always leaves me just dreaming about it, and not ever actually trying. I don't know how to sew, and this outfit is pretty complicated; finding the right fabrics, the right texture at a scale I would prefer (1:6), would be a huge pain in the lower back. Not to mention his hair, that's one of the main reasons why I never attempted making a custom doll or figure based on my 2nd fav character of all time (Sasuke Uchiha!), because recreating his hair, just thinking about it gives me nightmares.

This is a beautiful figure, I am super happy I was able to get him, and was able to justify getting two, so I could really see all the gorgeous details of his intricate outfit and sabatons.

My June 2022 toy haul arrived a few days ago, along with a few figures I purchased quite a long time ago but finally made it to me. The first image is what was released in June, in Japan and just got to me. I might have to make a second post with the other toys that weren’t part of this haul, just to not have a million photos in one post (not like I can add more than ten anyway).

I am super happy with my figures this time. I love all the stuff I collect, that’s why I collect it. However, the first two S.H.Figuarts based on Sasuke they released, I found weren’t as accurate to the prototype. Which was a real bummer -- I usually expect known/stablished companies to keep their products accurate to their prototype. I specifically recall their Itachi Battle version of Sasuke having changes on his face, upon release. The proto was more visually appealing to me, but they ended up changing it. I find this release exactly as the prototype, so I am happy. I am a bit upset that the shop I got this from had a limit, other shops didn’t appear to impose. Sadly, all other shops had already been sold out by the time I was able to get him in my cart. T__T;;; I am hoping Amzn won’t oversell these (as they always seem to do, with figures I need and can only get from there), so that I will be able to get a second one from them. 

The Nier plush is so freaking cute, I am super happy I decided to get him. I was scared of shipping costs (rightly so, if I do say so myself, I wish Japan had SAL or regular Air mail available right now!). I hope I will be able to get Emil, although I already have the pouch version, these are so flipping adorable (the more gigantic head, is what seals the deal for me). Sadly, shipping costs kept me from adding him to June’s haul. I hope he won’t sell out completely, before I can get him somewhere. This is my first Kaworu Nagisa scaled figure, I got the “original” color version, because I love Kaworu with whiter hair like in the original anime (thusly the “original” color version in the figures name). However, I didn’t pay attention that the eyes are also a lot less saturated than the “regular” color version, and I’m a bit upset since I saw Japanese owner photos of this version. I still love the figure to pieces, but from photos I have seen (I am not unboxing mine), his eyes are not as red as they were in the original anime nor like the “regular” color version. If/when they do a rerelease, I hope I am able to bring the regular color version home as well.
