Next on the review pile for 2012 is Shining Hearts heroine Neris! She’s another one of those pesky Gemaga exclusives and the first figure from Kotobukiya to roll through the review queue. See how she stacks up below the jump.

Review: Alter 1/8 Ookami Ryouko
Next up on the review pile is Alter’s Ookami Ryouko from Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi. While I picked her up relatively early in the year, technical difficulties and aborted photo shoots delayed her review by months.

Review: Good Smile Company 1/7 Tohsaka Rin (Unlimited Blade Works)
Good Smile Company made us wait 18 months to get our hands on this 1/7 scale rendition of TYPE-MOON’s ultimate twin-tailed tsundere. Was she worth the wait? I think so. Find out why below.

Review: Alter 1/8 Buddy
Next on my review pile is Alter’s Buddy. Keen observers of detail will note that if my review queue were a proper FIFO the next review after Momohime should rightfully go to Clalaclan, but decided to bump Buddy up to the front for whatever reason.
