When I saw that a second series of Full Metal Alchemist trading figure was going to come out in Japan, i bitched and moaned because they go for an insane amount on eBay. They are blind boxes, so they charge more for them, and a full set could run 50 bucks.

At the end of my bitching, I noted that the tidal wave of popularity this show is causing in Japan is about to hit the states soon, and I hope that they release the figures here, fairly cheaper.

Well it looks like my prayers have been answered:

The first group shot is series two, and those individual shots are some of the figs from series 1.

But best of all are the last four picks. FULL SIZE FIGS. Not only of Ed & Al, but of Winry too! I had heard mention of figs, but hadnt seen pics, or heard any details on size, and all that junk. These pics make me extremely happy.

Not only because I am getting these, but the fact that they made Winry. Far too many times recently, in Japan or the US, they announce figs from an anime series, and i get two characters. And thats the line up. TWO FUCKING characters. This pisses me off to no end.

Namely: the recent .hack//sign figures. There are WAY too many characters in this anime to release a line of TWO figures. Dont pull that bullshit with me.

These FMA figures, I assumed I would only get Ed & Al, since they are the main characters, and it actually wouldnt have upset me that much. But these pics showing me that they are actually taking another step and releasing Winry? Fantastic. Exceeding my expectations with anime figures is shocking and makes me extremely happy.
