What The HECK Did I Just Inherit? Figures Galore

 At my friend's workplace he shared with three other artists, someone's brother had donated a bunch of those anime/manga/hentai figures you see lining the shelves at shops like MiniQ, Razor Concepts and even BookOff, and since no one was "into" the genre, no one knew what to DO with them!

Glancing briefly at the full bag and seeing some decidedly risque and scantily-clad figures in the bunch, my friend remembered my obsession with artist Shunya Yamashita, (and in particular the lingerie-clad statue of his character "Shouko-san", which I gushed about here), and thought, "HEY, ya know what? Z would DIG these!"

Dropping by the other day to go grab lunch, he reminded me about that bag of dolls and told me to see if there was anything I liked. His co-worker waved his hand and said, "Dude, you can take them ALL! It's just taking up space!" My friend nodded and said, "This has been sitting here for MONTHS and you're the only one who's even remotely into this kind of stuff!" And so it was that I hauled home that whole bag of ziplocked goodies!

Spent a whole AFTERNOON sorting through the contents, and after trying to figure out what went with what ( and only partially succeeding), I took the time to arrange them all to see just exactly what I had, and was ASTOUNDED at just how MUCH figures were stuffed IN there!

Will you LOOK at this MASSIVE haul!!!

I recognized some FINAL FANTASY and DRAGONBALL Z characters, but I gotta tell you...MOST of these characters, I had NO IDEA who they were! And STYLES- Man, this load of collectibles really ran the GAMUT of genres: Figures went from the Sleek and Cool, to Sexy and Alluring, toVery Shoujo Manga-esque…and even to the zany, KOOKY, and totally WTF!

 

I must say, there were quite a few figures that I really loved that will probably make its way to my CD.DVD shelves, but I have no clue what to do about the REST of it! This is the first time I'm going through Action figure OVERLOAD, LOLOL!
