Looks like we have another otaku who is obsessed with Idolmaster figurines. Remember in my very distant post that a particular otaku actually bought 29 boxes of Idolmaster Petit figurines? Well here I am wondering whether it’s the same guy, and this time this particular otaku(same or different guy) is showing us his many Revoltech Figurines of Idolmaster.

You know, when I saw zenical’s Tower of Unopened Figures as well as Great Wall of Alter, I kinda thought that that was too many figurines already. But to this guy, her collection is probably not even worth mentioning.
