I can understand that kind of embarrassment, its something you'll have to get rid of or get used to, however, if you want to collect figures^^
Ultimately, it boils down to not caring about other peoples opinions about your hobbies. Used to collect warhammer many years back (mainly due to interests in the boardgame, the painting interested me fuck all :<), and i had some random friends comparing the things to toys, was annoying. But let those thickheads think what they want, its your hobby!
Yup, it is. Comes with a chibi version, its horribly cute :P
Im still waiting for a figure to appear of Eclair, but the figure creators seem to hate her... Hopefully the latest season will prove different seeing as she appeared a lot more in most eps.
