Figma Takara Miyuki and the Lucky Star Gang

And she’s here! The innocent, walking tower of moe that is Takara Miyuki from Lucky Star!

With this, my Lucky Star Figma collection is complete!!! At least until they decide to release the rest of the Lucky Star cast as well. Then I’ll cry for joy while my wallet just cries.
