Squeee!

I actually won the auction and got the Figuarts figure! It's Sailor Venus. I still can't believe no one else was interested in her when she's genuine and had a low starting bid. Oh well, their loss. The other one I was following was Mercury. There's another Mercury up from another seller, and depending on how things end up by auction's end, she might be less than the Mercury I didn't end up trying to get. I'll watch that auction too, although I know I probably shouldn't get anything else before my birthday.

Mercury and Venus and Chibi Moon seem to be the main characters I like to get merchandise of. Pluto and Saturn, too, but they're much more difficult to get hold of. Years ago, it took me ages to get hold of a boxed Irwin America Pluto (which I of course deboxed once getting her). And Saturn was out of the question even then, sigh. They're also among the more expensive Figuarts figures. The Inner Senshi, or at least my favorites of such, have been out longer and hence are starting to show up at better prices.

I have to admit, it's tempting to try to get them all now that I snagged one, and I imagine I'll keep checking for good prices on genuine ones. Most likely, I will only get my favorites (if that) and stop there, though.
