Do I want them? Do I really?

[finem]

First off let me say:

FIIIIIINAAAAALYYYYY!!!!!

So then comes the question. Do I really need this? I mean, obviously I want one, but in the long run...it would just be one more thing to pack and cart around with me, and like...5 years from now will I even care that I have a Riku statuette?

And then there's Sora. He looks pretty good I guess,

Your inner fangirl has got the right idea 0__0 I wonder why they're all of a sudden bringing out this slew of Riku merch? Did they forget he was IN the game, then suddenly went, "oops, shit - our bad, don't worry, we're catching up now!"

ajk.bha.,dfmbnangl - Riku figurine is hot. YAY FOR IT BEING OLDER!RIKU! Young, dumbass Riku I could live without... but this one... OMG, DO WANT. YOU SHOULD GET IT. JUST SO I CAN LOVE IT VICARIOUSLY. AND SORA! HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THAT BIG OL' DOESN'T-QUITE-REACH-THE-EYES GRIN? IT'S CLASSIC SORA!

RIKU EVEN HAS SOME STOMACH SHOWING. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WOMAN, BUY HIM! TAKE HIM HOMMMMMME!

WHO CARES IF YOU END UP DOUBLING UP IN THE END, BUYITBUYITBUYITBUYIT!

In case you couldn't tell, I'm residing on the *devil* shoulder :D

[finem]

Oh fine, side with the fangirl...wait a second...

ARE YOU MY INNER FANGIRL?!?!? o_< *steals Lauren's thinking face*

Of course the next thing I should point out is that they would run me about a hundred bucks each, and while of course I want the sexiness that is Riku and doofiness that is Sora...$200? That's so pushing it. And let's not forget the hundred dollars I'm already going to be spending for the KH1 Riku and Sora figures and Org Mickey OR the hundreds I've spent ALREADY on other KH merch...

whoa man...I didn't realize it before but...I think I might have a problem. Am I ADDICTED to Kingdom Hearts?!

[israel_project]

OHHHHHHHH. I might be, y'know. I might have burst into being solely because of your deep and abiding love of Kingdom Hearts... in which case, in order to keep me alive, YOU SHOULD TOTALLY BUY MOAR. Even if they are... uh, hideously expensive... >.>;; That's kiiiiind of a lot of money... BUT WORTH IT! I CANNOT DENY THAT IT WOULD BE TOTALLY WORTH IT! And I mean, come on - WHO WOULDN'T WANT A BISHIE ADDICTION? You can just... drool all day ;*;

[caseyvalhalla]

I comprehend your dilemma and emulate it.

My primary issue is that what I really want is a KH2 Riku play arts (that being the freestanding poseable type) figure. I have a Roxas, I plan to get a Sora at some point, and if I have a Sora clearly I will need a Riku. This is not really optional. xD And it's only fair that they make one, finally, PLEASE, as even Kairi has an action figure and she barely does anything... action-y. That's like having a Namine action figure and never making an Axel. WTF

On the other hand, though, that statuette is really quite pretty. And the Sora one does look rather appropriately dorky. Hum.

[finem]

Right!? I have the same issue. I keep thinking that I should just wait for the Play Arts Riku to come out and then if I still feel the need for the Static Arts figures, I can buy them then...but who knows how long that'll be?! And then the statuettes might sell out...and I was thinking that the pair of them would make rather nice bookends...

*sigh* Oh Squeenix! Why do you make such lovely merchandise to tempt me so!?!?

[aura890]

I did the same reaction I understand your dilema but I have to say buy buy buy! even if it's not straight away! I have a distict feeling Riku will be the one that sells really fast you know? and maybe that'll give them the 'huh we should have done him earlier huh?' feeling! It's Riku! and it's oh soo damn great! my fan girl is happy as well.

[mildly_obsessed]

I JUST SAW IT TODAY. WANT, WANT, WANT! But I totally understand what you mean about "Do I really need it?" It's a very difficult call. DX

[finem]

it makes me sad...I really do want them tho. they really would make good book ends, and....I do have the money at present...(continues to waffle*

[beckychan]

I'm 100% with you on that. I look at my KH wall, and it's so full already. And I don't even have everything put up. And I'm still missing Valor Form, so I know I'm getting at least one more figure...

[finem]

Dude, I forgot about my Final Form Sora waiting for me at home...hmm....I don't have nearly so much stuff as you do, but still. You understand
