Naruto: Wall Scrolls: Itachi Wall Scroll

Note:  Please check the Sales/Trades post to see if this item is for sale/trade.

Estimated Price: ~$5
Purchased:  Unknown
Source:  SalesmanB2B

This is another wall scroll that I bought from SalesmanB2B.  I had to have it, of course, because it is of Itachi.  It's also a lot longer than most wall scrolls since it's a full body shot.  This isn't my favorite picture of Itachi, but it's not as bad as other pictures I've seen.

I believe this is a bootleg wall scroll.  There aren't any logos, trademarks, or copyrights on the wall scroll like on official merchandise.  Also, as you can see from the picture, it is made of a very shiny material.  I've never seen an official wall scroll made out of any kind of fabric that was shiny.  The fabric also doesn't feel as strong/sturdy as the material used in the official wall scrolls.  Nonetheless, it was a great deal and well worth the money (though I will no longer be buying from SalesmanB2B in the interest of supporting the official merchandise).

Naruto: Figures: Naruto S.H. Figuarts

Note:  Please check the Sales/Trades post to see if this item is for sale/trade.

Price:  $39.99
Purchased:  September 3, 2014

I think I was looking up Sailor Moon S.H. Figuarts future releases when I discovered that Bandai was making a Naruto S.H. Figuarts figure as well.  Of course I had to have it, so I immediately put a pre-order for it!

I haven't opened it yet because I'm afraid it will break like Sailor Mars.  I also learned from the Internet that it doesn't have a stand, so I may have to buy one.

Even though I don't exactly have the extra cash for Sailor Moon + other anime merchandise...I couldn't pass these up!  They're just so cute!  They are like the Sailor Moon Desk Figures since they don't seem to fit on my glass rims very well.  Apparently I need new glassware with thinner rims.

Naruto: Figures: Naruto Collective File DX

Note:  Please check the Sales/Trades post to see if this item is for sale/trade.

Price:  $19.99
Purchased:  July 13, 2014

The seller that was selling my Sakura Collective File DX figurine was also selling this at the same time.  Since it was only $20, I decided to go ahead and bid on it as well.  It also was a great deal (even better than Sakura!); I think I bought it for the same price as when it was actually available.

I think this figurine was new (though it's hard to tell when buying merchandise that's no longer produced);  Only one of the seals on the box was broken (just from age it looks like).  The tape on the plastic encasing in the box also looked unopened.  That's no longer the case, of course, now that I've opened it.

I was searching for Megahouse items on eBay when I found this listed for only $30.  I immediately put it on my watch list and put my bid on the last day of the auction.  eBay said there was another watcher, so I was afraid I was going to lose this.  Fortunately, no one else bid on it, so I got this for a steal of a price!  I remember it being only $20 on Toys N Joys, so $10 more isn't a bad deal (though it further goes to show that I shouldn't wait to buy figurines--they get expensive once they're no longer mass produced!).

Other than being a little worn, the box is in great shape.  The figurine is in perfect shape, and is quite beautifully made.  I love that it has some interchangeable parts (though I wish that there could be a little more variety).  Overall, I'm quite happy with the purchase!

Naruto: Manga: Rock Lee SD 1-6

I love the Rock Lee and His Ninja Pals anime series, so I decided to start collecting the manga since the series is now over.  These were essentially free (except for shipping charges) since I had a lot of points on CDJapan.  One day I plan to read these...and hopefully my Japanese reading skills will get better during the process.

Naruto: Figures: Naruto Collection Vol 1 (Set of 12)

Note:  Please check the Sales/Trades post to see if this item is for sale/trade.

Price Estimate:  ~$20
Purchased:  Unknown
Source:  Unknown website

I bought these because I found them for a reasonable price.  I mean, only $20 for 12 figures?!  Who could resist a deal like that?  The figures are small, but they're also decent sized.  The adults are probably about 3-4" tall (excluding Zabuza who actually comes in two pieces since he's too tall for the box).  I think the Naruto figure in the second picture is probably my favorite.  I love how his scroll is not attached, so it's fun to set it up (even though it's also easy to lose).

I bought this in the hopes of getting Sakura...and wasn't so lucky.  On the other hand, Tenten has a plastic shoe that fits on the tips of her fingers, which is kind of fun.  Like my other Premium Heroines figure, Tenten is very nicely detailed.  I kind of prefer her white outfit over her green outfit, too.

Naruto: Figures: Sakura Gashapon

Price Estimate:  ~$3
Purchased:  Unknown
Source:  Probably the anime convention Animeland Wasabi

A dealer had a few buckets full of gashapon balls, and I was fortunate to find this particular figure in one of the buckets.  She's nicely detailed, though I'm not sure what set she comes from.  I don't remember how much she was, but I'm guessing she wasn't more than $3.

I bought this because I liked the picture on the phone charm (though I don't particularly care for his picture on the cardboard).  I've never put it on my phone because I didn't want it to ruin it and I haven't had a phone for a while that has a place to put a cell phone charm.

Naruto: Figures: Shippuuden Shinobi Collection

Price Estimate:  ~$37
Purchased:  Unknown
Source:  SalesmanB2B

I remember buying this set of figurines from SalesmanB2B and thinking that I got a good deal, but now I'm not so sure they're authentic.  They came out of their boxes and the boxes were flat, which I thought was odd.  The boxes also look like they were printed off a cheap printer; the ink is not very dark and it looks very low quality.  If they are actually bootleg, then I unfortunately spent around $40 on them (which was probably about the price of the actual figures).

I accidentally broke the peg on one of Sakura's feet.  She still stands fine on her own, but she's not very stable.  Unfortunately the peg is stuck in her foot, so I can't fix it.

I bought this bag, of course, because Itachi is featured on it.  It's a nice sized bag (maybe 5" x 8"), but I've never used it for anything in fear of ruining it.  I probably bought them from Toys N' Joys back when they had a website, but I don't remember how much I paid for it.

Sakura looks a little funny in this patch, but it may just be a consequence of my camera.  This is not one of my favorite pictures of her, but I liked it enough to buy it anyway (plus I love Sakura).  I don't remember where I bought this or how much I spent on this, but I'm guessing I didn't spend more than $3.

Sakura looks just so darn cute in this patch!  I love the details on it, and she looks particularly cute in her chibified form.  I don't remember where I got this or how much I paid for it, but I'm guessing I didn't spend much more than $3 on it.

This patch is similar to my Itachi patch, so it has very nice details.  Sakura looks particularly nice in this patch, which is why I bought it.  I don't remember where I bought this or how much I spent on it, but I don't think I spent more than $3 on it.

Itachi looks really funny on this patch, but maybe it's just my camera.  This is one of the better chibi versions of him, which is why I bought it.  I can't remember where I bought it or how much I spent on it, but I'm guessing I didn't spend much more than $3 on this.

I like patches like this because they generally have more detail than others.  This isn't my favorite face of Itachi, but it's also not one of my least favorites.  I can't remember where I bought this or how much I spent on it, but I'm guessing I didn't spend more than $3 on it.

Sakura's my favorite character, so I naturally just had to have this figurine.  It was a little expensive at $14, but it was definitely worth the money.  The details on it are very good.

I won this from a contest on Cartoon Network.  It's one of the few contests that I've actually won!  The packaging is a little lame (I guess you can't expect much more for an intended children's toy), but the headband is actually very nice.  It's too small to fit nicely on an adult head, though.
