I just got these beauties in from Japan and thought I'd share them with you. I'd have more pictures and better quality, but my camera battery was about to die, so I sort of rushed these in my excitement. I hope you guys can post pictures of cool figures you might have. :D

First, Vash the Stampede from "Trigun." He looks like he's ready to kick some ass. He has removable sunglasses and also the black cat that pops up in every episode of the show. His arms articulate, and his left hand can transform into his hidden gun.

Image

Second, Spike Spiegel from "Cowboy Bebop." Damn, he's cool. This figure is actually huge, and dwarfs the others in comparison. I could gush for hours about this one since I'm such a huge fan of the show.

Image

Third, Buster Machine No. 7...more commonly known as Nono!!! Groovin' Magic, baby, Groovin' Magic :D She's got two interchangeable hairstyles, the radar part of her hair can turn 360 degrees, and there are also attachable missile ports that go on her legs (not pictured).

Meh, Spike's ok I guess. Vash is my favorite though. I like the chain thing he's got going on (Chains=InstantAwesomeness).

And when I first saw Nono, I thought it was Asuka in some funky new plugsuit :lol: I should REALLY see Gunbuster one of these days...

Nono's from Diebuster. Also, all three figures are very yes.
He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man. There is no measuring Muad'Dib's motives by ordinary standards. In the moment of his triumph, he saw the death prepared for him, yet he accepted the treachery. Can you say he did this out of a sense of justice? Whose justice, then? Remember, we speak now of the Muad'Dib who ordered battle drums made from his enemies' skins, the Muad'Dib who denied the conventions of his ducal past with a wave of the hand, saying merely: "I am the Kwisatz Haderach. That is reason enough."

Bottom = GaoGaiGar, I found it for 12 bucks, it came with an Armitage III and Tenchi muyo figure, but they were pure shit.
you know who's in the middle, it's a pretty good figure too, Revoltech is great for small scale stuff.

And yes, this is how I have been keeping them, I'll stand them all up once I get my Optimus Prime and Mazinger Z crap

Brik those are all awesome. I don't quite like the chains on Vash though.
God, Apparently you all have been discussing Q since November. Catching up on the discussion is harrowing.

Diebuster is the sequel to Gunbuster, only it takes place 12,000 years later.

Seriously, let's stop this.

Does anyone else have anime figures they'd like to post?
