Mina Majikina <真鏡名ミナ>

Finally got my first figurine!
1/5 scale of MINA MAJIKINA, from Samurai Spirits, manufactured by GoodSmile Company.

Took me half an hour pondering over it before I made this decision to bring her home.
I made a decision on Kureha and Mina, since they are both Archers, but I wasn't really in the mood to be buying anything that day... somehow Kokuhen-san spotted this babe and passed it into my hands. My hands shiver a bit as I took it into my hands.... OMG...



Last one left. Forget about pre-ordering, once the deadline is up (which it is up), no more orders means no more order.

Thinking through, even 1/8 scales figurines can fetch as high as SGD 99.00, so this 1/5 scale MINA isn't that expensive afterall - 7,400.00 Yen... plus the shipping and the profit margin of the retail shop... minus Kokuhen's member discount... the SGD price is "Okay lah~~~"

Besides, I live by one (of my many) principle - Live my life without regrets. I'd rather have this baby in my room, then NOT have this baby in my room. I would rather buy it then regret, then regret NOT buying it. I hate the scenario where I finally decide to buy it, then head down to the shop only to realise someone else has bought that last piece.

Gently took her out of the box...
Mount it onto the beautifully designed circular stand...
Place the little monkey (whats its name again?) on her skirt...Mount the Bow and String...
And there we go!

Beautiful isn't she?

Kokuhen-san kept pestering me to open a blog and "digirama" Mina. Well, I guess I will try my hands on some photoshop works. But first, must find a beautiful background befitting of her archer image... I was thinking Cliff edge or some Japanese green bamboo forest environment...

Well, watch this blog for more updates... I am slightly poorer, but I am definitely more happy. Can't wait for Kureha to arrive...
