$50 US seems pretty reasonable for her. Here in New England we have a chain of retail geek stores called Newbury Comics (which ironically only sells music on their website) and they have a really good selection of Pop Up Parade figures (a massive shelf of them) and that's about what they sell them for, some are even selling for more since the retail prices have been climbing rapidly. In the past year these have gone from an average price of $32 to $40 with several averaging $43 and even a few standard ones priced just under $50. They're following the figma playbook, start low and climb, climb, climb. The first figma was only 2,380JPY, 16 years later and now they start at 8,000 JPY. In a few years PUPs will average $100 USD despite being the cheap alternative to more expensive scale figures.

Suck for the characters you really want, but if one just want something cool and pretty, we can always wait for some sales. PuP often are on sale at Amazon for between 25$can to 35$can.

What's really annoying is when they randomly decide to make what should be a normal figure a large one like Zero Two in her suit. "L" should be reserved for tall characters, not just random figures they decide to make bigger than the other figures from the same show.

Using my 15% off discount at the Crunchyroll store I can usually get the $32 figures for closer to $28.

Like for example, the upcoming Len and Rin figures. I pre-ordered a Rin because I'm a fanboy, but I would have prefered a standard version for half the price. Still, I see these as "1/7" standard figures so she would not look too out of place along my other Rins.

^ Yes, exactly that. I'd like to have a full Vocaloid set, but it's so annoying that they keep changing scales within the same line like that.

Anyway, got a big box from AmiAmi. Really weird stuff in this box.

Normally I wouldn't have gone for the headgear, but it was only 200jpy more than the plush so how could I resist? The stickers are going in a trading card binder, huge fan of Undead Unluck.

For an acceptable price, I got a used PuPL Elias!

Got a cheap "prize" figure of Mitsuri, one of my favorite Demon Slayer character. Not only is she super sexy, but her positive energy is healing. Both characteristics that are perfectly portrayed in the figure.

My only complaint is that the box is way, way too large for nothing. Off to the recycling bin it went.

[-Kanrabat-]

More Mitsuri love with a "noodle stopper" figure. I have no idea what is the purpose of a "noodle stopper", but she's smol, cute, sexy, and bad-ass. Just like I wanted her to be. Still, once again, the box is way too large for the figure so to the bin it go.

Also, she was ironically 10$can more expensive than the big one for reasons. Anyway, they look great together.

You're supposed to sit them on top of instant ramen to keep the lid down. I doubt many people really use them for that, but that's the origin. Normally they'd be in a sitting pose to hang over the lip, but that looks rather impractical.

Well, most of them sit...

I got what may be my only one Q-Posket figure. I don't really like them because like the Funko Pops, they all have the same face.

Regardless, I needed that Rin for my Rin army.

So I said I wasn't going to buy any of the Turtles of Grayskull figures because the exclusives are so hard to get, but then I saw Sla'Ker on clearance on Target.com, and come on, it's Slash, I had to get him.

All pretty nice stuff!

[Emerje]

Sure is!

I forgot two things I got from the Crunchyroll Store:

Undead Unluck - Andy Prize Figure
Undead Unluck - Fuuko Izumo Prize Figure

Damn do I love Undead Unluck! It and One Piece are the only manga I read and I've watched the anime twice now (subbed and dubbed). First of many figures I hope to get!

This arrived in the mail today. Been on and off on weather I wanted this kit or not but as it's getting harder to find I bit in. Not sure when I'll put it together.
