this one is not too bad
and Nendoroid – Black Gold Saw
Got this from the last trip but the poseable stand doesn’t seem to fit for Konata. The hair gets in the way so had to fit it in a way that Konata’s feet can’t touch the stand…
Not much experience with figures…wonder if it’s me or it’s a faulty product…
