Kotobukiya's preview of Elmina from Shining Wind
I've come a long way when it comes to the Shining figure series. When I first saw them I had never played a Shining title. After being amazed by their beauty over and over, I finally started tracking down the old games and giving them some play time. This would never have happened had I not discovered the series backwards -- through the figures! This is one of the things I love most about toy collecting -- you never know what else you may discover you love because of your love for toys. This most recent prototype is Elmina, from Shining Wind. She will be 1/8 and most likely released next year. I think she's beautiful, even without paint. I wish I would wake up tomorrow and suddenly find that all the Shining figures ever made had appeared on my shelves in the night. Nerds have weird fantasies, don't we?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon).... So .. how about some Shining Wind figures of the boys? You know, like, Kiriya? I want him ;_;. Girls play these games too, you know! I would like some of the boys. God she's beautiful!!! I would totally love to wake up to every Shining figure series on my shelf. I would have no room, but I would be in heaven 4:00 AM on 05.22.2013 Preview Kotobukiya's and Tony Taka's Daisy-chanPrototype photos recently appeared of a new figure by Kotobukiya and Tony Taka.
