I think we need a thread on anime figures.

I don't know if anybody else on this forum collect Figmas or another anime figures.

I have been building up my collection of Figmas and I am looking to add more.

I need your advice as to which Figma figure to get next (prices are in Canadian Dollars):

Meiya Mitsurugi - $50

Aegis - $50

KOS-MOS Version - $90

My first impulse is to go for KOS-MOS, but this figure almost twice as much as a standard figma. Other figma figures of the same box size cost about $60. So I don't now if it is worth the price.

Meiya Mitsurugi has a nice combat uniform so I am warming up to this figure.

Aegis also looks great with her weapons.

I wish I can get them all, but I can only get one for now.

Where on earth are you finding Meiya for the same price as Aegis? O_O

I have both Aegis and KOS-MOS, I can recommend both of them. Aegis is great because she looks perfect even with joints due to her design. She's also rather cute and sweet looking. I had her next to my computer as a sort of 'mascot' for a long time. I'm not as familiar with KOS-MOS since I've barely gotten to take her out of the box (there was a large rash of earthquakes where I live, and a few too many ladies took a shelf dive so everyone's been boxed since). She comes with TONS of accessories though, and is pretty tall for a figma, so that's most of your price. She's gorgeous though, the hair is amazing. And you can't mention KOS-MOS without mentioning DAT ASS.

If you want more than one, I'd say save Aegis for later, as she's the most likely to still be around and at about the same price. She's the only one who's had a reissue, so there's more in circulation.
