For this figure photoshoot review, I decided to pick the most expensive purchase in my collection so far. She is Tora no Ana’s 1/6 scale figure of Donne Anonime a.k.a. Namae no Nai Onna who was released in May earlier this year. I am not very familiar with the character, but she is a bounty hunter from the Nitro+ eroge Satsuriku no Jango.
Before proceeding any further, please note that this review is meant for mature audience only.

It’s time again to look at my figures haul for the month. I guess I have been overspending this month. That is always the case when I venture into auction or get any unplanned purchases. I normally try to stick to my pre-orders unless a great deal comes along. Of course, it’s getting hard to plan with pre-orders recently when just about every figure on my list are getting delayed.
Anyway, here’s a look at my figure arrivals for this month.

Oh gosh … I must be getting real lazy. It’s been more than a week since my last post. The fact that it’s been fairly quiet on the figure scene doesn’t help either. I have been wanting to do an afterthought post on the summer animes for a while now as well, but just ain’t got the mood to start writing. Hope I can pen down my thoughts before the end of the week.
Anyway, that aside, this is a quick post about the updated look at the painted prototype figures of Ichiban Kuji’s K-ON! figures. Here are the figures.
