This was a strange purchase. Manaka was the only nendoroid I bought last weekend that I wasn’t planning on buying and was the only thing I bought in the dealers room on Sunday. Also, I had never played Love Plus and probably never will unless it receives an English translation.

But there she was, at a fairly reasonable price. All of the Love Plus girls were for sale, but I was drawn to this one because of her ponytail as I have too many twintails in my collection.

Have any of you ever had that impulse purchase of a figure from a series you had never played, watched, or read?

So I was fairly excited when I saw a swimsuit version of Lynette Bishop from Winter WonFes 2012. But I got even more hyped when I saw a colored prototype of Ika Musume, or “Squid Girl” in English, from Shinryaku! Ika Musume.

Ika is undoubtedly my favorite character in the series. Perhaps the best term for her is “lovable loser,” but that’s a big part of why I adore her and her ridiculousness.

As for the show itself, Ika Musume is not going to be one of those ultra-popular anime. It’s funny but will never be as hyped as a certain show with magical girls and incubators. Just beware of the endless stream of squid puns.

I stole a variation of this idea from Tentacle Armada, which, by the way, has some amazing figure photos. I may or may not get every nendoroid on this list, but it’s nice to share what I desire, I guess. And because, hey, why not?

I’m not sure I like Mami’s smiling face. The mouth is too wide for my tastes. That’s why she’s frowning while drinking her tea. I’ve kept her beside my laptop for the past couple of nights, and whenever I look at her, it’s almost as if she’s disapproving of whatever website I happen to be on. Tonight, however, I get the feeling she doesn’t like being shorter than an 18-55mm camera lens. She needs to be just a head taller …

Every time a new nendoroid arrives on my doorstep, I feel the urge to take photos of the mailing box before opening it and photos of the nendoroid box before I open that, even before I handle the actual figure itself. I’ll post more photos later.
