Why do I always find out about figures too late?

And for the final Figure of the Month for the year, just making it in on the last day of the year in fact, I have an entirely NSFW review for you (you have been warned). Many thanks to Squee for the lending of his camera for this shoot, but unfortunately, unlike Kokoro earlier, I was still experimenting with the camera and did not have a bright background, hence the noise which I was unable to eliminate, as well as blur shots. Salvaging them in Photoshop did not help much, and some of them will have weird colors because I used the wrong initial settings, this was before the castoff pictures. But anyway, I hope the pictures are at least clear enough for your…enjoyment. Here is the moe figure from the original works of Yamadaya, the limited version of the hadaka apron succubus, Akuma-san 2!

Disclaimer: This is a special review, and she is not the Figure of the Month. Originally, I was set to do this in November, but during the November shoot, I could find no reason to take out Kokoro since she had a few small parts, and it really did not seem fitting for her during the urban setting. So in the end I delayed her photoshoot till this month, and I am glad I did. Many thanks to Squee for lending me his camera for this review, and great appreciation to Talim JP over at the Soul Calibur Forums for helping me get her from Japan.

And now here is a special review of Kokoro Limited, from DOAX2 – Venus on the Beach, by Kotobukiya (a Tecmo Webshop Exclusive).

Quite a few of you probably know by now that I obtained Air (pronounced as Ai-ru in Japanese, which I prefer to call her by instead of “air” in English) last week much thanks to Ken who stays in Japan and bought it for me, and his friend here in SG, who brought it back for me from there, saving me the shipping cost. A little background information for those who have not been keeping watch on my blog is probably necessary, since this figure is different from the normal.

Wee. Another preorders list. This time I update on the situation since my last preorder list post in June, and only from October to December, with some figure damage that comes in October from September as well. However I am unsure as to whether some figures are actually being released in September, since delays were all over the place.
