Haul from Japan

A few months ago, I went to Japan and discovered the existence of Book Offs, stores with lots of second-hand figures (and other stuff) in very good conditions for really cheap prices (some of the figures in the photo were less than 300 yen).

I was very surprised when I discovered modern prize figures actually look really good, specially Taito's, and since they were so cheap, I couldn't resist.

I'd say Sega's prize figures (the two girls at the top with water guns) are not as good, but they are the only figures of Summer Pockets characters in their casual outfit in existence, and I really wanted them because they almost never wear the school uniform in the game since it is set during summer vacation.

In the other end of the scale, Taito's Aqua Float Girls are just great detail-wise. I guess they can make detailed figures for cheap since they are wearing less-complex clothes (and just less clothes overall). Other Taito figures are pretty decent too.

Furyu's noodle stopper figures are also very detailed for the price. Very close to Taito's, maybe a little bit better. I seated mine in a 3D-printed bench with the logo of the game.

Then there is Ryza, the only scale figure in the photo. A lot more expensive than the rest combined, but still cheap since it was second hand. I was suprised to find out it was unopened when I got home. Maybe it said so in the sticker at the store, but it was in Japanese.

I had to play a game of Tetris to fit all of this in my suitcase.
