I’m beginning to wonder, with all the price cuts this particular Nintendo BOX Figure Collection Part 5: Mario vs. Donkey Kong is getting, why hasn’t it been sold out? Bear in mind people, this is an entire collection of Mario vs. Donkey Kong figurines that you’ll be getting, not some randomly shipped item. And it’s yours for a brand new price of just USD 9.90.
I bought mine quite some time ago at the original price of USD 14.90 and I can tell you that even at that price, it was already a bargain.

With just nine days left to Christmas, I would say these Street Fighter figurines, done by Kaiyodo under their Revoltech SFO series, have been released just in time. Even though the Ken figurine comes with a nice red fireball, the Zangief figurine is borderline awesome with a likeness and poseability not unlike his on-screen counterpart.
Street Fighter fans owe it to themselves to order these figurines and have them shipped using courier services in order to reach before Christmas. For those interested check out:
Or still not convinced? Let these pictures change your mind:

I don’t know why people collect/ogle over these type of figurines, after all, they are merely physical representations of virtual buxom women found only in video games and anime. But hey, since the following figurines (two different versions of Kasumi from the Dead or Alive video games) are selling for a discount and since some of my readers are of the same inclination mentioned in the previous statement, enjoy:
Both figures are from the Mon-Sieur Bome Collection of figurines produced by Kaiyodo, a company well known for their Revoltech figurines. The two Kasumis are approximately 200mm in height. The best part is that both are now at half price! What was previously being sold at USD 49.90 is now available at USD 24.90!
