Money is the root of all evil. Therefore we should spend all our money. Besides Mahoro and Haruhi, here are some nice pieces of polymers that I am probably going to cough up blood for in the near future…

First we have Kaiyodo’s Mikuru. Standing at 23cm in her waitress uniform, Mikuru’s angelic smile can kill a fanboy in less than 4.32 seconds assuming you have not already been vaporized by the heat rays located in her innocent eyes. Forget nuclear weapons, Mikuru is a one-girl weapon of mass moé-fication.
Pro: Mi-Mi-Mikuru Beam!!!
Con: May result in accidental death.

Cost: ï¿¥4,725
Release: Dec 2006

Navel Characters Collection. Six chibi-fied girls from Shuffle!, Tick! Tack! and Soul Link. SAGE-CHAN FTW!!!
Pro: Has SAGE-CHAN!!!
Con: Has Kaede and Sayaka. No Nerine. Not enough SAGE-CHAN!!!

Cost: ï¿¥3,800 for 10 random
Release: Feb 2007

To Heart 2‘s 1/8 Ma-aryan-senpai (Drill Ma-ryan Kick Ver.) from Kotobukiya. I can’t stress enough just how cool and awesome this figure is. If you played TH2 on PC, then you would know what I mean. Seriously, you can’t miss this and still call yourself a TH2 fan. Moeyo has a pre-release review of it here.
Pro: Best. Pose. Ever.
Con: PVC may possibly bend out of shape more easily due to the pose.

Cost: ï¿¥4,410
Release: Feb 2007

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu Figumate from Konami. More chibi-fied cuteness. Take a look at the Negima Figumates to get an idea on how they will look like.
Pro: HARUHI! WITCH YUKI! RYOKO! TSURUYA! MIKURU! (everything)
Con: Witch Yuki and Waitress Mikuru are “rare”, which means I’m probably never getting them.

Cost: ï¿¥4,200 for 10 random (your first born for a rare)
Release: March 2007

Also, I need to seriously start to consider how to pay for the DVDs I preordered on Amazon JP. The temptation to preorder things is so great when you are not required to pay up until they are released…

Oh well.
