I used to not be terribly interested in getting higher end statues than the stuff you can win from UFO catchers, if mainly because they're, y'know, so damn pricey. But I resolved to get at least the Shionne one when I found out about it earlier this year because: 1. she kinda sorta means a lot to me for obvious reasons and I want some form of her in my office and 2. it's the first such figure since Arise came out that isn't one of those gawdy ass Qposket ones that seem to exist mainly to make you think, "be grateful this character wasn't Funko'd." Anyway, fast forward to September right before TGS and I dunno what it was, but I got it in my head I wanted to grab one for Selvaria from Valkyria Chronicles given my profound love of that series and now, a few months' worth of hunting for the exact one I wanted at a fair price later, here those two are, as well as Rinwell, who I obviously also hold dear as one of her English parents, and Daiwa Scarlet because I'll forever love the eternal horsey brat. I've gotta buy another showcase to house them in because my existing one is mostly full of games, but in the meantime, it's fun to learn that Selvaria is canonically taller than Daiwa Scarlet, which, knowing how Raita likes to draw women, yeah, that checks out.

Yeah, she's a fun one! Depending on the version you get, she even comes with a little Hootle, which I got. It's super cute and I can't wait to have it all properly out soon. :eggbug-relieved:

She's not too terribly expensive right now if you ever decide to pull the trigger, especially with the exchange rate. I think I paid like 9000 yen or so and I kinda suspect she'll get cheaper over time since I don't think she's the most popular character here. But I super feel you! It's only since I've gotten here and don't have to deal with importing now that the temptation has really flared up and I genuinely fear for my wallet if Tokimemo statues are gonna get made for the anniversary next year. 😩
