bnomikoWelp, I've fallen into the acrylic stand/proxy well and still haven't gotten out of it : p After my big March haul, I followed up with an April order for an additional 8 figures, 1 poster, 9 stands.
Acrylic stands
Jojo's Joseph, Jotaro & Jolyne (unlicensed), Dio and Bucciarati acrylic stands, plus a Joseph poster which I've already put up as a shelf backdrop.
Youko Kurama (Yu Yu Hakusho) stands (left). I love that these have him in modern clothing (and a ponytail!) which helps make them stand out against all the figures I have with him in his usual plain white outfit.
Yu-Gi-Oh! stands (right). I got the chibis to match a Yami & Dark Magician I'd gotten previously. The lone Yami one just looks great since he has such a dynamic pose. I really was hoping for more Seto Kaiba ones but didn't see anything that screamed "buy me."
All the stands, unassembled.
Figures
Biggest ticket item was this 1:10 Lum from Urusei Yastura. She's just super cute IMO. Not a fan of the series in particular but she was my earliest exposure to Rumiko Takahashi, so it’s nostalgia.
Assorted trading figures / toys (from left to right):
- Galaxy Express 999's Captain Harlock, Emeraldas, Tochirou and Tori-san. Harlock is such a classic character but most of his figures are... well, ugly. This is one of the better ones for sure, and I've been searching for it at a reasonable price for a while now. And if I get a Harlock, I have to get an Emeraldas too.
- Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji. I unfortunately had a bootleg of this (it's just impossible to find one in the US that's not a fake), so now I've properly replaced it.
- Toriko and a mountain of puffer whales. Mostly a throw-in as the whales were cute and cheap. Not sure what to do with so many...
- Jojo's Bucciarati and Sticky Fingers. Bucciarati is my favorite JoBro and I really wanted one of these trading figures to round out my collection. Getting Sticky Fingers was an unexpected bonus as these two were in a single lot.
