Look, it's my video game husbando

[kyogres]

I got the best thing in the mail last weekend. I have been anticipating this figure since it was first announced last... March? April? The wait was painfully long, but it is finally here!

That Luke is awesome *3* I really want the Millia from Alter that's coming out...I've still yet to play a Tales game but this line is beautiful

[kyogres]

Yeah, the Millia figure looks awesome! I just wish I knew more about her. Why has Tales of Xillia not had an English release yet? D:

You should play one! Abyss and Symphonia are both great! I haven't played the others yet, though I'm planning to buy Graces when I get the money and I may eventually buy an X-Box just to play Vesperia. Stupid Tales games. Why must they make one for EVERY console?

[riolulz]

Oh God I agree about the console thing!!
I'm planning on getting Graces F for the ps3, but a firm release date for the UK hasn't been announced yet, and I'm debating getting Tales for the Abyss on 3DS when it drops in price, since pretty much 80% of 3DS games seem to be going on sale on amazon.

Uuuuuuuugh I would also kill for a Kratos figurine. Especially an angel one ahhhhhhh [/fangirl]

[kyogres]

YESSSSS! <3

Though, at this point, I'd honestly be happy with any 1/8 scale Symphonia figures.

[nagasasu]

Omg, are you a Tales fan? How did I forget this?!

[kyogres]

I am! Though the only one I've finished is Symphonia (so no spoilers for the others, please). I'm a little over halfway through Abyss right now, and I plan to pick up Graces and maybe Vesperia when I have some extra spending money. Why must there be a Tales game on EVERY system? My wallet cannot handle this. XD

[nagasasu]

OMG OMG OMG ARE YOU A ZELOS/RAINE SHIPPER TOO?!!!!!

I've only played through Symphonia too, since I only own that and the one on GBA!

[kyogres]

Not a hardcore shipper, but I do like the pairing. (Though not quite as much as I like Zelos/Sheena.)

Phantasia, right? I still need to play that one too, though it's kind of at the bottom of my priority list since I prefer console RPGs.

[antoj]

Not familiar with the character, but that is a very pretty figurine. *_*

How much do those generally go for?

[kyogres]

The 1/8 scale ones are usually around 5500-6000 yen, which translates to something like $80 with the current exchange rates.

The popular figures don't tend to depreciate in price though, I guess because they are only available for a few months? A few of my older anime figures have doubled or tripled in price since I bought them. (Not that I'm planning to resell mine or anything; I just found it interesting.)

[antoj]

Oooh. That's not too bad considering the detail he has. So how tall is he then?

I can see how that works though! It definitely makes sense to me anyway.

[kyogres]

I don't have a ruler handy at the moment, but I'm guessing around 8" tall. Here's a size comparison pic with a Pokedoll.

Long-haired Luke looks a lot more sarcastic.

This is a really pretty figure. I don't know the game, but it looks like they did a great job.

[kyogres]

Oh, he is. Long haired Luke is kind of a brat, and that's putting it nicely. XD

He slowly matures throughout the game though. He ends up cutting his hair halfway through as a symbolic gesture, to prove that he's trying to discard his old self.

The company that made this figure (Alter) has the best figures! There are a few Alter figures I've been tempted to buy even though I haven't watched or played the series they came from.
