You might have seen my thread from a while ago, detailing all of the mp100 figures and garage kits that exist, in which I happened to mention that my favourite mp100 GK is the schoolgirl Mob and Reigen by sculptor Torinos. Well, recently, the two of them popped up together on Yahoo auctions JP, unassembled, unpainted, absolutely brand new - and both of them, for a reasonable price given how rare they are. Now, I'm exceptionally stingy with money, and I'm disabled so I don't have a lot of it either, but my god, when I say I wanted them...
I was seriously on the fence about it. I let the listing time out, telling myself no, but the more the seller relisted them, that harder it got to resist. That's when I decided that if I could get together the 36,000 yen before someone else bought them, then I'd get them! I decided to work for it!
Since then I threw out a bunch of adopts and commissions, advertised my shop as much as I could, sold some old stuff I didn't want anymore, and then, by some miracle, I received a letter from the government telling me that they actually owed me some money, so I was PUMPED.
I had the money...!
I placed my bid, and hoped really hard that I wouldn't be outbid, and I got really lucky, because I won them!!! I'm so damn excited for them to come, I thought these GKs were forever out of my reach but I'm so excited to get to build and paint them myself!!! Once they get here from Japan, I'll come back and periodically reply on this thread when I make progress on them >:] I can't wait!!!
