1. Zolda
2. Knight
3. Scissors
4. Abyss
5. Ouja
6.Ryuki/Ryuga
7. Raia
8. Verde
9. Taiga
10. Gai

I'd probably list Gai much lower if I had Odin. Gai is not worth the exclusive price point to me at least. Abyss wins out because like Zolda and Knight you really get as complete a package as you'll ever need from box with accessories and even a stand.

I would argue that ranking a little bit, I found Ouja to be slightly less exciting than I had hoped, for a reason I can't pin down, I found Raia to more exciting than I expected, and while I like how shiny Gai is, he really isn't worth the going rate, except for the most hardcore of Gai fans, or crazy completists, like me. He is worth the original exclusive price, but since he goes for over twice that now, he certainly isn't worth that.

Odin and Ryuki/Ryuga rank really high for me, due to the inclusion of the contract beasts. Like Knight, they're complete in one box, no additional purchases needed for that character, and for really reasonable prices.


Thanks for all the kinds words, everyone, I'm really happy with how these photos turned out, and I appreciate everyone else seeming happy with them too. I keep wanting to do a gallery for Knight, but he has so many options and accessories, it's really daunting to start on. Also, I already tried it once, weeks ago, and all the pics turned out like crap.
