and now for something completely different

In my otaku days I bought up a ton of figs and gashapon, all of which sat around collecting dust until I packed them up and stashed them in my closet at my family's place in Florida. So I was reluctant to start  collecting anything like that again. I lost interest in anime pretty much altogether for several years, and I even stopped buying BJDs. Well, that didn't last long. I started collecting dolls again, then I started watching anime again, and the next thing I knew I was trawling for character goods. Most of it I managed to talk myself out of. But I'd never owned a Nendoroid before, and while I had a hard time justifying the cost for such a little thing eventually I cracked.

I blame Attack on Titan.

I got my first Nendo in about a week ago, but I hadn't had time to unpack it and play with it until the past few days.

So small! Bonus Ayu looking derpy. 

The sight of all those little parties was really intimidating. I tend to misplace anything that isn't big enough to trip over, and I have cats that like to steal and hoard things.

Itty bitty arm...this feels kind of morbid, considering the context

I was surprised at how mobile this little guy was! I knew I'd be able to switch limbs out, but I didn't think I'd be able to move them much otherwise. I wish I was a bit more creative with posing.

One cute suicidal bastard

I managed to drop and lose one of Eren's blades while trying to switch out his face, but I found it quickly enough. Now he looks more like himself.

RAAAAAAAAGE

I have Levi on preorder as well, and once I've got them both I'll have to think of a fun way to display them. In the meantime, tiny rageface Eren is chilling with my SD boys. I don't know that I'll take up collecting Nendos as devotedly as I have BJDs. I couldn't handle the expense! But I'm definitely happy with the purchase.
