I'm not a big fan of the quality of the S.H. Figuarts series, but I am a fan of the details and accuracy (and the packaging!).  That's why I decided to go ahead and buy these three figuarts.  They look so good that I'm tempted to open them and display them.  I might just do that anyway, though, since they look a lot more sturdy than the Sailor Moon figures.

I thought it would be cool to have a star from the Mario franchise that would light up and play sounds, so that's why I ended up buying this.  Unfortunately, I've never actually gotten this to work.  I think I need some special batteries, and I've just never found them.  At least it looks nice (even if it doesn't work).

When I bought this, I was really hoping to get Luigi.  I ended up getting Princess Daisy though.  At least she's cute.  I think this was originally a "Wonder Ball" kind of toy where the figure was in the middle of some hollow chocolate.  I wish I had bought more of these.  She's such a tiny figure (probably no more than 2" tall) that she's just plain adorable!

I love the Super Mario Bros franchise and this was too cute to pass up.  It actually had candy at one point, but of course I ate it.  I don't remember how much I paid for this, but I don't think it was too much more than $3.
