School Rumble Eri Sawachika

Watch out for this one. Playfully standing with her arms crossed behind her head, this School Rumble : Eri Sawachika Statue 1:8 scale (over 7-inches tall) plastic statue, features wind-blown hair as well as all of the amazing detail work you’ve come to expect in Japanese imported anime figures, from the ribbons in her hair to the designs on her shoes.

Being a sophomore in high school can’t be easy, especially when you’re the object of every boy’s desire. That is the case for Sawachika Eri of the anime/manga series, School Rumble .

Eri is half British and half Japanese.
She comes from a wealthy family and is very popular with all the boys at her school. She is great friends with Tukamoto Tenma and has to deal with her weird infatuation for Karasumara Oji.

Considering her flawless beauty, she has a hard time speaking Japanese and constantly pronounces words incorrectly. It’s too bad that with all her looks, she still can’t get the boy she likes, Harima Kenji, to notice her. He is too busy trying to get Tenma to like him!

From her introduction onwards, Eri is characterized as having a dual nature. Talented, beautiful, wealthy, and popular, she is admired and envied by her classmates for the glamourous lifestyle that many believe her to lead. In reality, however, Eri uses this image and her outward confidence to mask her inward feelings of loneliness and insecurity.

Her social status makes her unapproachable to many of her classmates and leaves her somewhat isolated from her peers.

Even at home, her parents are away on business more frequently than not. The process by which Eri grows and matures, as she starts to develop deeper friendships and searches for love, forms the backbone of one of the main plotlines in the story.

Born into wealth, Eri is the daughter of a prominent English businessman. Her mother is from Kyoto, Japan. Although Eri was born in Japan, she moved to England for her early schooling before returning to Japan to attend high school. As a result, her knowledge of kanji is limited, causing her to occasionally make humorous linguistic mistakes.

Eri’s most striking features are her amber eyes and long blond hair (which she usually ties into pigtails), which signify her mixed British-Japanese heritage. While she is often admired for her looks, her origin is occasionally the subject of derisive remarks, such as during the class trip to Kyoto.

Harima’s nickname for Eri is “Ojō (お嬢)”, as a somewhat mocking reference to her status. This is not to be confused with “Ojō-sama (お嬢様)” (lit. “lady”/”miss”), which is a formal title used by Nakamura and the rest of the Sawachika family’s household staff to address Eri. “Ojō” is the short form of “Ojō-sama”. Because Harima isn’t trying to be polite, he doesn’t use “sama”. In the English dub, Harima would call her by the name “Rich Girl.”

Dragon BallZ Piccolo Action

From anime and manga Dragon Ball Z, this is a Dragon Ball Z : Piccolo Action Figure . This is a rare figure. Piccolo (Pikkoro) was first introduced as the reincarnation of the evil Piccolo Daimao in chapter #167 The Tenka’ichi Budokai Disturbance (Haran no Tenkaichi Budōkai) first published in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on April 4, 1988, making him a demon and archrival of the primary protagonist named Son Goku. Right before his original body was destroyed by Goku, King Piccolo reincarnated himself into the form of an egg, which then hatched into his reincarnation, Piccolo Jr.Piccolo has shown many unique abilities throughout the series. Due to his Namekian physiology, Piccolo can expand his arms, move fast enough to not be seen,regenerate lost limbs of his body so long as his head is still intact, and possesses superhuman hearing and strength. Piccolo’s Chōkyoshinjutsu Super Large Body Technique, “Super Giantification Spell” in Viz media) allows him to become gigantic to the point where he is capable of reaching mountain-like heights, though it is unclear if these are his restrictions. He also has the ability to conjure objects such as garments and a blade, including his specialized outfit mentioned above as well as a very large sandglass. Among Piccolo’s known psionic skills, he is able to communicate telepathically with select individuals.
Thus, this enables him to read minds and mentally contact others nearby. In one instance, he alerts Trunks and Goten of Buu’s proximity to the dimension where the two were training.

Like many other characters in Dragon Ball, Piccolo has the ability of flight through the technique called buku-jutsu (lighter than air).
He also possesses an attack called the Bakurikimaha (爆Exploding Wave?, “Destructive Wave” in the English dub), which is fired with one hand being supported by the other. One of Piccolo’s most powerful attacks is the Makankosappo (魔貫光殺砲, Demon Screw Attack, “Special Beam Cannon” in the English dub and “Light of Death” in Viz media) an attack that is expelled from Piccolo’s index and middle fingers. Unlike most energy-based attacks in Dragon Ball, the potent Makankosappo pierces its targets like a drill rather than enveloping them or exploding on contact.

Piccolo’s ultimate attack in the video games he has appeared in is called Renzoku Sen Kōdan (連続閃光弾, “Hellzone Grenade”), which involves firing off many orbs of energy that float around the opponent.

Piccolo then squeezes his hand to make all the orbs converge onto the opponent, exploding on contact. Piccolo also possesses the ability of “Scatter Shot” in which he fires many different chi energy blasts shot from one hand at the same time.

Piccolo is also seen possessing an attack called the Masenkō (Demon Wave), which Piccolo teaches to his pupil Gohan. Another move Piccolo is seen to have is the Gekiretsu Kodan (Violent Grenade, “Light Grenade” in the English dub) which is conjured by putting his hands on his chest, gathering energy and then releasing it outwards.

One of Piccolo’s less frequently used techniques is the ability to fire energy rays from his eyes (similar to “heat vision”), which he first uses against Krillin’s energy attack during their match in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, then later against Goku in the finals, and again when he trains Gohan in the Saiyan Saga.

Sailor Moon Ami Mizuno with Pajamas

From anime and manga Sailor Moon (美少女戦士セーラームーン, Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn, officially translated as Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon), this is Sailor Moon : Ami Mizuno with Pajamas Figure .

Ami Mizuno (Mizuno Ami, or Amy in the English versions), is a genius schoolgirl who can transform into one of the series’ specialized heroines, the Sailor Senshi. Ami’s most-emphasized character trait is that she is enormously intelligent—in the anime and manga she is rumored by other characters to have an IQ of three hundred, while in the stage musicals this is stated as a fact.

She is adept at English in both the musicals and the anime. Her peers view her with a mixture of awe and distaste, misinterpreting her inherent shyness as snobbery, and so she tends to have a difficult time making new friends. Ami is depicted as sweet, gentle, and loyal, as well as slightly insecure.Anne Allison describes her as “a smart girl who needs to relax”, calling her “conscientous” and “studious”, “everything Usagi is not”.

Early on in the story she relies heavily on the approval of her mother, teachers, and friends, but as the series progresses she becomes stronger and more confident in herself. She is generally the most sensible of the main characters, and is often the only one embarrassed when the group has a dull-witted moment.

As the story begins, she attends Azabu Jūban Junior High along with Usagi Tsukino and, later, Makoto Kino.

Special powers
Sailor Mercury has the power to manipulate water and ice.

For the entire first story arc, she uses her powers only to create dense clouds of mist, chilling and blinding the enemy while her allies prepare more direct attacks. In the manga she usually does this without speaking, while in the anime it is given the name Shabon Spray.

In the updated renewal manga, this power is renamed Mercury Aqua Mist to match the live-action series, in which she has an offensive beam attack by that name, capable of destroying weaker enemies.

She uses a total of five attacks in this series, most of which are variations on the first.
