Description I'm not sure if I'm going to do these every month, but I was really happy with what I bought in October so I thought I'd put them all up together. There's still an Iskandar and Illyasviel figure on their way, though I doubt they'll be here before I go on holiday. It was  pretty exciting getting all of these parcels through the post. From Left to right 

Finally my Gil mochi mascot came! By far my favourite thing of the month, and possibly my favourite thing in my Gil collection. He's so soft and adorable. Definitely worth the money, and I'm very happy I got him for a lot cheaper than the extorinate secondary market prices he's fetching now.

The Heshikiri Hasebe Nendoroid to add to my ever expanding nendo collection. I don't know that much about Touken Ranbu, but I've liked this character for a while (for admittedly very shallow reasons haha). 

I'm not a massive Evangelion fan like some people, even if I do like it a lot. Rei is one my favourites and her figures always look really nice. This is my first cu-poche, so when I get round to opening her up it'll be interesting to see how she stacks up with the nendos. 

F/Zero Gilgamesh stap. I actually got this for free with the doujin! It was a really cool present, and he has a very cute look on his face. Unfortunately I've caught the strap and key ring collecting bug even more now, so I'm intending to put together a Gilcu strap cork board eventually. 

Ocarina of Time Zelda from World of Nintendo. I love LOZ and OOT is one of my all time favourite games. It's a pretty cheap mass produced figure, but I still like her. 

I've already shown my Lancer figure but he was probably my other favourite thing this month besides soft Gil. It's nice that they finally have something to torment. 

Gilgamesh DXF figure. One of the ones I didn't own, and I got him for a fairly good price. He actually looks a lot nicer in person than some of the online pics (even if he really needs a £100 scale from Alter, or Aniplex or GSC. I can rest easy when that day hopefully comes haha). 

Gilgamesh prize notebook - this was a pretty silly impulse buy (I paid over £15 for a thin notebook I'll never use) but he looks pretty so I don't really regret it. 

And then finally the Gilgamesh and Ozymandias doujin. This was a lot... racier than I expected. There's still some nice pictures in there though (Ozymandias and Gil playing video games and getting annoyed with each other was probably my favourite).

Good stash! I have the OoT Zelda model too. I really like it a lot! The paint job's a bit iffy cause it's mass produced but I do like the flexibility and the bonus Ocarina accessory is a nice addition. Just wish it came in it's proper box rather than the Wind Waker box that it came in lol.

Thanks! I think it's really nice for the price. For a long time I've wanted an OOT Zelda, and the original 90s one is a bit pricey and difficult to find so I was glad this came out. But I'm super excited for the Twilight Princess Zelda figma coming out next year, and the Link.

Nice loot!!! I'm so glad your Gil mochi made it safe and sound. They really are ridiculously soft, I hope you enjoy him ^_^ I actually have that same Gil notebook, it came when I bought some doujin. They've sent me a duarmuid one too, but I've been scared to use them because I don't wanna waste them on doodles or notes xP

Thanks! - Yeah, I was starting to get a bit worried. I did have to pay a hefty custom fee though. He's actually getting a nice holiday at the end of the week. It'd feel weird not having a Gil with me, as sad as that sounds haha. And it's a cool notebook, even if I don't want to use it either. It's just being put with all the other Gil bits and pieces. The Diarmuid one sounds nice. I just wish they went so merch crazy for UBW as they did with F/Zero, and there were more Cu, Medea and black jacket Gil stuff.

Aww, that's too bad ;-; I used to take my tiny Cu's everywhere with me, so I feel you xD And yeah, it would be nice if they could send out UBW trinkets with fate doujins. I keep getting stuff with Kiritugu or Diarmuid on it, and while I don't mind Dia, I realy don't like Kiritsugu, so I'm like stop, I have no use for this...

He can protect the large amount of Beauty and the Beast stuff I intend to buy haha. Plus, mochi Gil deserves to see Disney I think. Yeah, that would be annoying to be sent characters you don't really care for. I'm not sure what I'd think if I received something with Lancer x Archer - some kind of cruel ironic joke maybe haha. I really want these two straps myanimeshelf.com/upload/dynami… just so I can put the Lancer looking at Gil.

Such a brave Gil mochi, guarding your treasures. Yeah, it's just kinda annoying, it feels like stuff is being rubbed in my face xP And all those little pics are so cute, omg, I'd love a Gil and Cu one x3

He is. Even if he has slightly menacing looking eyes, he's too soft and cute to be completely bad. And they are. I also really like this set s.pacn.ws/640/qv/fatestay-nigh… Gil and Cu will need to be found at some point, but that Medea is adorable too

Me too. I think in Japan they are and you can buy stuff separately. Plus we have to contend with customs and shipping fees.

I'm pretty sure I have the same Lancer as you do Fate figures for the win. *has 6 Sabers*

FateStayFree In reply to shadow2k [2016-10-27 10:38:45 +0000 UTC]

It's a cute little figure! And I only have one Saber so far (the wedding chara form one). All of my money goes to Gil stuff admittedly haha.

shadow2k In reply to FateStayFree [2016-10-27 10:41:09 +0000 UTC]

I have...
GIFT Saber
GIFT Saber Lily
Revoltech Saber
Alter Saber Lily (I think it's Alter, I can't remember, I don't have the box for that one anymore)
Figma Saber (Dress ver.) 
and Figma Saber Lily (the one that came with the Fate/Unlimited Code PS2 limited edition, which I'm lucky enough to own as well )
I have no Gilgameshes, maybe I should rectify that.

Aw wow, you've got some really cool Sabers! The revoltech Saber is really nice. I've been meaning to get some more since there are so many to choose from. Probably the one I want most is the Nero Saber with the red parasol. I have a lot of Gils, and then this one Lancer, a Medea and a Rin figma as well as an Iskandar and Illyasviel on the way.

A Medea? Super jealous. D: I also have a Rider (Stay Night), the one with the separate chains (but I lost her mask), a Figma Rin, and an Unlimited Blade Works Rin (also Alter I believe). There's also a Nendoroid Petit Rider there somewhere.

While I get on very well with Medusa as Rider (it's that dress I think), I think Iskander was the best Rider. What a badass.

FateStayFree In reply to shadow2k [2016-10-27 11:12:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's the Hollow Ataraxia one. There is one in the purple dress but it's such a pain to find. Is the Rin the one with the swords on the base? 

And I love Iskandar. One of my top ten favourites. Ozymandias probably just edges him out as my ultimate favourite rider, but he was really cool (it's too bad my absolute favourite has to kill the majority of my other favourites as well).

"such a pain to find" I can't even find pics of her on Google Images XD Nah, the UBW Rin I have isn't the one with the swords, she was the one released with the movie instead of the series - I can't even remember if she was Alter or not (she was £15 from Play Asia as a promotion so probably not). 

I should read more about Fate/Prototype, I have to admit D:

FateStayFree In reply to shadow2k [2016-10-27 11:35:35 +0000 UTC]

I'll have to try and find you one haha. And ah I see, I'm sure she still looks really cool though! Rin figures also end up looking really nice I think. I like the Hollow Ataraxia magical girl Rin figures a lot, as well as her nendoroid (which I really hope gets a re release at some point). 

And you should! There's some really cool characters in it.

If they reissue the Rin Nendoroid I'm there. I'm fast running out of space for figures though so I would have to buy another cabinet. (my love for KOSMOS takes up an entire shelf in my current cabinet)

That's the only thing with anime figure collecting, you quickly really begin to run out of space. Luckily I'm doing out a spare room as an otaku/anime room, so I'll have a bit more space. And is that the character from Xenosaga?

Oh I know. They're spilling over onto my desk and my chest of drawers, but I still have at least three in storage too. I need to get a bigger house. >.> 

Yep, that's KOSMOS from Xenosaga.   Entire shelf of KOSMOS. (ft. Tales of Symphonia and Fate)

That looks great!  And I really like your Tales figures. I have a couple, but of Natalia from Abyss and Mint from Phantasia. Llloyd is one of my favourites though so I definitely want to get a figure of him somebday. And KOSMOS is a really cool looking character. I don't know much about Xenosaga but she works really well as a figure from an aesthetic point of view at least.

If you can find a copy, the Lloyd and Colette figures came from the limited edition of Tales of Symphonia Chronicles on the PS3 (along with a graphic novel which I haven't read which I think is about the time between Symphonia and Dawn of the New World). I'm sure you could find just the figure on Ebay too. Xenosaga is one of my all time favourite RPGs and I love KOSMOS' character design, something about the white and blue (and that long hair) just looks good to me. The figma KOSMOS v4 (with the huge gatling gun at the front) is my favourite of all my KOSMOS figures.

I'll have to look into it. The book sounds really cool tool. I do quite like collecting collector game editions. The one for Fate Extella came out this week and I've already pre ordered that one. Figmas are amazing. It'd be cool to just collect figmas - they'd look really nice on a shelf altogether. So far I only have 4 (Rin, Yukiko Amagi, Yu Narukami and Makoto Tachibana, as well as quite a few on pre order. So excited for Gil's in Decemeber haha). And I can see why you like KOSMOS. She has a really cool design. Usually I collect mostly boy figures, but she definitely really has some very nice ones.
