I'm finally getting around to photographing some stuff I've had for a while and one of them is this: the Gyakuten Saiban (Phoenix Wright) Houtei Figure Collection. I bought a case of these figures so I could get the whole set. There are seven different figures in all (six normal plus one variant).

I didn't know what to expect from these; I mean, I don't buy too many trading figures because it's sometimes hard to tell if they're gonna look really good or come out really bad. This set is somewhere in the middle, but I suppose I should've suspected that because their pricepoint is on the cheaper end of the trading figure spectrum...

Phoenix Wright fans, here are some toys for you! Relive all your favorite moments from the game with this set of figures! Yell "Objection!!" and "Take That!" whilst knocking over rival action figures. The 6 figure set has figures from a range of Gyakuten Saiban games, some of which I don't know since I've only played one of the games so far.

With the popularity of Phoenix Wright rising in the US and with the next game in the series being localized, these figures will surely be sought after in the future. Get em now for $4.90 per figure (blind packaged - you won't know which character you have until you open it) at Play-Asia.com. Figures are made by a company called Ensky; check out the official webpage here. Or if you just want to see better photos, check out this website.

Last week I went to Hawaii to visit family and do some business. One of my favorite areas on Oahu is the Kaimuki area which has some great video game/anime/comic stores such as Toys n' Joys and Collector Maniacs. One of the newer stores is Mechahawaii which primarily sells gashapon and trading figures. Their selection is simply awesome and I've yet to see a store in America that can beat them. There were many trading figures that I've never seen before, and when I saw the Ys Figure Collection series, I had to buy at least one.

Looking at the box, I was surprised at the figures being offered. Besides Adol Christin, the rest of the figures are girls, two of which are from the latest Ys game, Ys VI-The Ark of Napishtim. As with most trading figures, these are blind packaged meaning you don't know which character you'll get. I was kind of hoping for Adol, but got Lilia who was next character I wanted.
