I have never bought trading figures online before, so I thought I'd give it a try.

My first time occured after I came across these Oh My Goddess - Beachside Trading Figure Collection.
The problem with these trading figures is that they are delivered at random, so if you're only interested in one figure, you'd better order more than one.

In my case, I only wanted that Skuld figure. If I got unlucky, I don't mind getting a Belldandy figure as consolation. The rest... well...

Anyway, in order to increase the odds, I ordered 3 at a time and waited about a week.

After waking up several minutes ago, I went downstairs and found the package sitting on a chest. I decided to grab it and take it into my room before my family knows that I buy swimsuit figures of female cartoon characters.

And here they are. Using a steak knife, I carefully cut through the tapes sealing the box and opened it. In it are three boxes as ordered. While I usually start from left when choosing stuff, for some reason I started from the right, from where I was facing.
Well then...


Box No. 1

I opened the first box and I got.....



... Peorth. One of the characters I didn't want....

Anyway... next...






Box No. 2

I opened and peeked into it's contents and I get....




..... another Peorth figure....... the previous one was in a black bikini while it's pink this time. Whatever....

At this rate, my luck isn't looking good and I might be getting yet another Peorth figure or one of the living fossil adult characters that I don't want.

Finally....






Box No. 3

I braced myself for the worst outcome when I opened the box. It's probably going to be an Urd, Lind or another Peorth... but wait.....










It's Skuld.....









I got the Skuld figure!!!!


I swear that I can hear a voice in my head saying:


"CONGRATULATIONS!!!! THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!!"


This figure is quite nice. The only parts to be assembled are the base, body and head. They fit together nicely and there're no small parts that will come off easily if you handled it the wrong way, unlike a gashapon (capsule figure).
After putting them together, Skuld stands at 10.8cm on my table (base included). She looks cute with her hair tied up in pigtails, with a pouting expression.



Anyway, that about wraps it up.
I got what I wanted, so it's finished.

As for the two Peorth figures, although the boxes have been opened, the content themselves are still sealed and unpacked. If I ever plan to sell these, I'm not going to lower the price due to the opened boxes. At least potential buyers will know the contents this time.

For those who are interested in buying these figures from me, you can contact me. It may be more difficult for those living far away, though.
