Reserve or Regret? Import round up for May 17, 2012Buy stuff! That's what I'm here to make you do. Does it work? I hope so because if I can't buy a lot of things, then I'll make you do it for me! Then you'll be the one with the empty pockets! Ha! So, what can you go broke on for today's Reserve or Regret? Good Smile Company has an anticipated release for Puella Magi Madoka Magica fans with the pre-order of their 1/8-scale Kyouko who is looking rather lovely with her flowing hair and outfit. Phat! Company has another Twin Pack from Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai with the pair of Rika and Yukimura. As much as I'm not a fan of the title, I'm always finding myself drawn in by those blasted glasses and lab coat. Speaking of pairs, ALTER pairs up with Gift again to bring a pair of "psychedelic" plushes of Shizuo and Izaya from Durarara!!. Griffon Enterprises has a couple of releases from the past. The company gives another coat of paint to their 1/7-scale Cattelya from Queen's Blade and dig up the 2008 swimsuit version of Haruhi from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. And if you want your eyes poked out, just take a gander at YAMATO's Sexy Robot 002 Human Face from their Fantasy Figure Gallery series. And there you have it. I hope you're throwing money at your monitor at this moment to reserve some of these products now so you don't regret it later.
