Last month, my friend gave me a $25 dollar Visa gift card for my birthday. I felt it would be awkward for me to walk in a store and purchase an item with it, so I decided to spend the money online. In other words- a figure.
I surfed various online stores for a cheap but OK quality figure. Shipping adds quite a bit to the overall cost, so I ended up looking for something in the $15-20 price range. ^^''
I came across this figure of Aya Hasebe by Kotobukiya on Big Bad Toy Store, which was having a clearance sale. Although I was unsure of the quality of Aya, I decided to buy her after acknowledging my budget.
I think her hair is a bit odd, but then I'm not familiar with her original appearance in Comic Party, the (series?) she's from.
I do the love her dress though. The details are fabulous.
That line on her left leg is a too obvious. It's one of the few irks of this figure.
Again, I just love her dress. It looks semi-transparent here. ^^
Tried some natural lighting here. Which lighting looks better? I'm guessing the natural lighting does, although I'm usually not home early enough to catch it.
Sorry about the math textbook by the way. I was in the middle of homework and listening to US election news (the figure arrived on November 4th) when I said screw it and decided to open my new figurine box instead.

Fate/stay night "Mini Figures"
Saber :)
I happen to be completely unfamiliar with Fate/stay night. What I know about it comes strictly from looking at anime figurines of characters from the series.
So why do I have these? Well, because my cousin bought them for me. Of course, I was delighted to receive free figurines.
I'm really inexperienced with taking photos of figurines. ^^'' This was actually my first "shoot".
These figurines came in a clear plastic bag, so I have no idea which company manufactured them or any other info about them. All I know is that they're from Fate/stay night because of Saber. 
The overall quality isn't too bad. There's some chipped paint here and there, but otherwise very cute ^^.
Cookies to anyone who knows where these Fate/stay night figures are from.
