Well, I've experimented with some potential accessory purchases with mixed success. I picked up the Re-Ment Cafe Table and Chairs set, two of the Re-Ment Donuts to Go! blind boxes, and a full set of the Orcara Fruit and Drinks.

I'd had high hopes for the Re-Ment accessories (Wizard donut diorama PLEASE!), but they're not quite Figuarts-scale: everything is a little too large. In the image below, the Re-Ment items are the table, chairs, Puchi Donuts bag, and everything on the orange tray. You can see that the chair is a little too big for Zangetsu. His feet don't touch the ground, and the seat it a little too deep; I had to pose Takatora in a slouch. (Duke and Marika's designs complicate sitting, so I didn't attempt it.)

So the donuts weren't quite a success. The beverages from those boxes are cool, but look cartoonishly large compared to the New Generation Riders. From the images I've seen, one of the ten different donut blind boxes contains mini-donuts that might be the right scale, but I wasn't that lucky. (One of the two boxes I picked up was the only one in the set to contain no donuts.)

The Orcara miniatures (everything you see on the table that's not on the tray) are a much more appropriate fit to Figuarts size. Not perfect, but close enough that I don't really mind. I bought the entire set (about $25 on Amazon with shipping!) and I'm really very pleased. I only put a few of the items from two of the boxes into that photo. The boxes in that set include melon, peach, banana, apple, mango, pineapple, grape, strawberry, pears, and a few I don't recognize. These tend to contain both the full-sized fruit and then one or more sliced versions. The beverages - aside from a GIANT bottle of some kind of peach juice - are much closer to Figuarts size, and no less nifty or detailed than the Re-Ment beverages.

The downside for Gaim enthusiasts? The set doesn't contain orange, lemon, or cherry! Gaim, Sigurd, and Duke will be so disappointed.

Nevertheless, I'm going to need to set up a Gaim display with the Orcara miniatures. I'll take more photos if anyone's interested. (Also, forgive the low quality of this shot. This is my first time at something like this.)
