Kotobukiya, Machikado Mazoku, Yoshida Yuuko

Machikado Mazoku is one of my favorite yonkoma published in Manga Time Kirara. It also has a brilliant anime adaptation that makes it even more enjoyable to watch, primarily because of how phenomenally the voice actors did their job (especially Kohara Konomi as the main character). Anyway, I already wrote a review on the adaptation, which you can read here. However, I didn't have a figurine representing any of the heroines so far, so it was about time to get one.

13 Kihei Boueiken, ARTFX J, Kotobukiya, Minami Natsuno

Minami Natsuno is a character from the game Juusan Kihei Boueiken, known in the west as 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. As this is one of the greatest titles I've ever played, I can't imagine not having at least one figure with a character from this masterpiece. While I liked all of the characters, Natsuno was the one that stuck out to me the most, and I really liked her, along with her robotic companion BJ, who was also included in the set.

Hoshii Miki – 1/7 Angelic Island ver. – THE iDOLM@STER (Kotobukiya, 2012)

Six versions of the Angelic Island figures were produced - Hagiwara Yukiho, Ganaha Hibiki, Takatsuki Yayoi, Amami Haruka and Hoshii Miki, the one covered in this post. Each was sold for ¥7800. This is a slightly higher standard of figures than the cheap Pop Up Parade figures popular in Poland.
