Monthly Do Want: February edition
by DickMcVengeance on 03/02/2009 9 comments

The snow is still falling in many parts of the Eastern seaboard, and so why not take a few minutes and sit down with your credit card, laptop, and some nice hot cocoa, and take a look at this past month's "do wants!" from all your favorite editors here at Tomopop.

So, cuddle up in your snuggie and click on through to see some of our do wants for the month -- I assure you there'll be some surprises! Also, we want to hear some of your most wanted items. We might end up buying some of them too...

Colette Bennett wants Black Rock Shooter Miku

This is the worst I have wanted any figure in a while. Anyone who knows me well knows I still have the remnants of a goth girl deep within, and to see this dark version of Miku coming my way soon was almost more than my poor heart could stand, not to mention Black Rock Shooter is in my top ten Miku favorites. I rub my hands together in anticipation for the photo shoot once I get my hands on her!

Pedro Cortes wants Lily Saber

Lily Saber is still on top of my DO WANT list.  I haven't wanted a statue of character this much since I first saw the Eye-Up Kamina. Lily Saber's design is one of the best things I've seen in years, and GSC has somehow managed to make her look even better.

Eva Duenas wants Yamato's Shugo Chara! figures

It's hard to admit that I seriously love these super-duper girly shows. There are people who love Shugo Chara! and people who love it and won't admit it. There are plenty of Shugo Chara! merchandise but I'm most excited for this because they have Ikuto! I'm pretty sure it's obvious now that I seriously favor male figures. I'm looking forward to undressing him.

Rio McCarthy wants Hot Toys' Police Officer Joker

There have been several incarnations of the Joker, even from Hot Toys, but with the announcement of the Police Officer version I have officially just found my new favorite. It was tough for me to get one I wanted more than the Bank Robber Joker, but this was one of my favorite parts in the movie, so it's an absolute must have. I am going to be doing anything in my power to try and get my hands on this bad boy!

Andres Cerrato wants Perfect Grade Gundam Astray Red Frame

I thought that there would be next to nothing that could get me to put in so much work into a perfect grade kit after my experience with the PG Strike Gundam.  Leave it to them to make a kit with so many extras that I must absolutely have it.

Topher Cantler wants Nendoroid Megurine Luca

While the twins might be a little less welcome on my Vocaloid shelf, there's most certainly room for a Megurine Luca Nendoroid. Two Mikus and a Kaito are waiting to welcome her to the family, and I can't wait for pre-orders to open. That said, where the hell is Meiko already? Fogetting something, Good Smile Company? 

Bryan Coffee wants Alphamax Shiranui Mai

I'm still lusting after this Mai figure, especially considering the fact that I now have a Kasumi and a Chun-li in my collection. Adding Mai would complete my trio of hottie fighting game females, and with it's release date being just one day before my birthday, it'd make for a great birthday present.

Now if only I had rich friends who have no problem spending money frivolously...

Emily Smalara wants Alter's Touko Aozaki

Nothing this month really caught my eye until I saw Touko here. She's everything I like in a figure, from the pose to the style to tossing in an accessory for the heck of it. She breaks the mold of generically posed figures, and the low price certainly doesn't hurt a bit! 

Brad Rice wants Coraline PVC set

Isn't it shocking? I'm not listing an anime figure! I'm a big fan of Neil Gaiman and Coraline, and so I'd love to get my hands on this set, just because I love the art style that they went with so much in this film -- it's a mix of innocent and disturbing, and hits all the notes just right. And you know what, these figures capture Coraline just perfectly.

So, now I invite you to tell us about your wants for the month. Oh, and if any of you want to be our sugar daddy and buy us these figures, please let us know!
