Just realized I never posted this one yesterday *facepalm* Still very sore from my fall so I decided to take it easy with yesterday’s shoot. I chose one of my Cardcaptor Sakura figures I got out of Sarge’s comics years ago. The bulk of of my Cardcaptor Sakura stuff is actually in zilla’s nursery and this figure just happened to catch my eye yesterday while I was in her room bink hunting (I don’t know what she does with her binks but she has over 100 of them and I can never seem to find them).
As much as I have always loved Cardcaptor Sakura it always kind of seemed to me that it got raw deal merchandise-wise. There is a lot of merchandise but most of it is lesser stuff like gashapon, prize figures and various odd stuff (I have lunch boxes, wands, a board game among other things) I wish there had been nicer figure releases outside of resin kits. Today’s figure is probably one of the better prize figures, unfortunately even the other figure that got released alongside it was a bit odd (the pose was odd and the sculpt seemed off). It’s really not a bad figure for a prize figure, it’s also fairly large probably around 1/6 scale really not a bad value for the $15 I paid for it years ago.

I AGREE 100%! I own the play card book, the art books, and the wand. I also have a couple prize figures. Honestly I would probably pay up to $200 for a better Sakura figure. Although if it’s $200 it needs to be something magnificent 😉
I have the official clow book, it was buried in a lot off of Yahoo Japan the random stuff that came with it is kind of mindboggling. There was some type of flash cards designed to teach you English, a bunch of small figures, bags, old calenders etc.
Clamp’s series never seem to have enough figures for my liking. There really needs to be more Chobits, Rayearth and XXXholic figures out there.
