This maniacal otaku bought no less than five of the newly released 1/7 scale 八神はやて / Yagami Hayate figures, each in the region of ¥10,000, marking him out as an otaku’s otaku indeed. Stacked, the boxes reach a height of some 2m. Is he perhaps trying to communicate something?
Observers are speculating as to just what he needs five of them for; one to admire, one to save, one to show off, and… ?
Let us not pass comment on his lone Index figure or his choice of computer… Is he as bad as the Hiiragi grand collector?
The figure itself does look rather spectacular; it’s more or less out and should go down from ¥10,000, a reasonable sum given its size and detail.

Money waste or clear obsession ? You decide
any, it is a life style!!!
So far I've only ended up with 2 of that Index figure, with a pre-order for the re-release still extant.
Feeling a bit of jealously at him having 5 copies of a figure ^^;
Just three to go and you can have your own article: "Quen Index Mania".
Ah, but but such otaku-obsession fueled extravagances should not be affected by such worldy desires, but rather affection for the figure in question...
I can't help but suspect most unnatural figure cravings to be most worldly in intent...
I assure you mine, at least, are of the most pure and virtuous caliber ^_^
preparing for Christmas maybe?
One to showcase;
One to handle;
One to keep close at hand for immediate replacement in case of damage;
One to hide at family home for added safety;
One to put in a safe box at the bank.
And one for the little boy who lives down the street.
Jeeez, and I thought I was nuts for buying 5 Tandem Twin Lynx girls just because of colour variations between them all.
*ponders*
Maybe he's gonna try to sell them on e-bay later?
Face Palm...It's ok to buy multiple posesable figures, but figures for display...ughh...no way. Not unless he's hoarding to sell them for the future.
Why did he only buy five?????
If they are 1/7 scale, he should have bought seven!!!
Point well made!
Two to use for SoF photos.
Also, I must know: how does the book float?!?!
of course it does; it's magic
This is nothing compared to me (well in Lego Star Wars), I have 12 AT-TE sets ($99USD) and 8 Republic Gunships ($130USD).
Well, multiple elements of military hardware are needed for any serious army. There are no clones of Hayate Yagami in service. ;-)
Eh, waitaminute, you could make a diorama of the Republic side at Geonosis. All you need now is to modify the Star Destroyer kit into an Acclamator.
ZOMG EPIC TOWER... xD
And I haven't got my Hayate yet... D:
I'm buying all the C.C figures that would be sold here this christmas... Though it would be released on Feb 2009 I already paid for 3 of them...
how much money does these 2ch anon otakus have?
one more to fap at it
I guess he will sell most of those for insane prices at Yahoo Auction or Ebay once the figure is sold out.
wtf.. becoz of him.. some of hayate fans did not manage to get one of it.. arghh
5 for wat siak?
1 for display,
1 for saving,
1 for take go out showoff,
1 for handle
LAST ONE FOR WAT? PCC? ,,[],,
Hayate's so-so in my book, but Reinforce Zwei is teh delicious.
Rein has a pole up her butt lol.
I've just got a box and this thing is massive.... How is this guy going to store all five of those boxes...
I can understand the obsession, and because it has such great detail. But 5?
And I thought me buying just one is bad enough. This guy's 5 definitely 5 times worse than me.
wow,this person is supre rich!,I can only afford mangas in eng and fansub anime!
1 - for display (main unit)
2 - for standby of no. 1 (spare unit)
3 - for the lulz (too much money to burn)
4 - to rub it into others who didn't managed to get one
5 - to mark oneself of being a true, selfish and strong ethical egoistic O-T-A-K-U.
One to fap with ???
