I recently bought my very first, and I mean VERY first expensive action figure. It was OCC #4 Kamen Rider OOO Sagozho Combo. Before looking at the pics, I feel the need to explain some things.
I am really a fickle buyer. I will never buy these kinds of toys because I only buy what I really need. Sure I want a lot of things and I have the means to obtain them but I can pride myself in self control. So what caused me to buy this?
I was in Bangkok with some friends. It was already the last day and I had a lot of Baht leftover. I figured I had to spend it before leaving. So the I did what I finally would not do back home in the Philippines and decided to blow it all on a cool looking toy. I really had no idea what I was buying. I just scanned what I thought was the best looking and within my budget. I finally decided on OOO since that was the only decent toy I really knew and was within my budget. I was feeling so giddy. I just handed over a ton of money but I felt happy.
So I opened it and played with it. I was sorely disappointed to find out it was so much cheaper here in the Philippines. I also became curious about just how many kinds of toys there are and what the brand names are. So after a little research, I was overwhelmed by how many there are and how good they look. This toy just opened my eyes to the wonders of toy photography.
To be honest, I am now starting to crave all the other OCC combos. There is that inescapable impulse to mix and match the head, torso and leg parts just because it allows you to.
I also bought a Geki Yellow Figure. I had some more Baht to spare and I thought, what the hey, she is my favorite Female Senshi
