When I was getting Meiko Nendoroid petit, I tired my luck for a Deathnote Nendoroid Petit.
It rather hard to get shops that sell individual blind boxes. Originally intend for customer to try their luck, most local toy shops only sell blind box opened so they can sell the rare one for a higher price by some customer request.
I am alright with that if they do that correctly by indicating the figure to the open blind box and not to resealed it back carefully and sell it as unopened toy. This is exactly what I encountered that day.
I was unsure before paying for this boxes and I asked the staff are these unopened blind box. His answer without looking at me saying it was a blind box and he have no idea what's in it. With that assurance I went ahead with the purchase. I realized that they are traces of opening mark as I started to open the boxes. By then I was already on my way home. I was cheated and it was an unfair deal! Time for me to add that shop in AMK hub to my blacklist.
I got REM a Shinigami (死神, Death god) from the Deathnote.
Maybe REM can get revenge for me?
This REM figure isn't that bad. Some of you may not know that REM is a female although her feature look very much like a man. This figure look cute with the big cat eye.
REM's hairstyle remind me of the popular in the late 1980s to early 1990s much like Aaron Kok's hairstyle.
The pair of tiny wings are so adorable. However they drop out easily. I don't want to lose these small parts.
REM comes with movable arms. Want a Hug from a Shinigami?
REM was a "compassionate" Shinigami who gave up her life for Misa.
What will happen if Meiko meet REM?
Yikes!!
Better keep them apart. :P

I don't know you can find something like this at SG I am gachapon and trading figures collector too
Apparently they didn't make any marking on the box and so I thought it random and later when I open it I realize it was already open! My guess is that the rare one already sold some place or they kept some place.
@paikia
All the box they sell at SGD $10. I don't know if they are any rare ones. They open and seal back without indicating what is inside. It's just not fair. :(
I like try my luck too buying blind box
all hobby store I came they open and give mark or unopened at all
Anyway this one with testicles hair, cat eye and tiny wings is cute. Ha! Ha!
Angel L is a very rare one. I like to try blind box too but I must be given a fair chances not they open and took the rare and seal it back deceiving customers thinking they have a fair chance to get the rare...That is WICKEDNESS!
@Dennis
Ya I kinda REM too. REM somehow grow on me as days goes by. :)
@ Dennis
the honour is all mine colleague... =D
Im glad you like it.
@moemoekyun
I did!
@kluxorious
SGD $10...
Aaron Kwok's hairstyle... that was popular back then... but no chance to have it while you were still a school student hahahahaha
I wish to but I have a budget and to get the whole set is quite pricey for me...
@David John
I think chucky is still more horrible than REM. Plus REM has a heart of compassion. She do not kill anyone on purpose. She actually sacrifice her life for Misa.
I wanted to keep Aaron Kwok hairstyle but my hair texture can never do that. LOL
Didn't know REM was a she actually, even in the movie she sounded like a he....
Ah one more death puchi...
That kind of store really gets on my nerve. I have the same experience, but it's involving a re-sealed BluRay disc T.T. Kinda smooth on the outside, but scratched in the inside..then I know that I've been tricked
I also didn't know when I first watched the anime but later I found out. :)
@h4mster
Originally all nendo puchi are blind box but collector and toy seller buy in set and form set and then sell some extra away. The store already in my blacklist now.
I've wanted those DN puchis, but I don't have funds to buy a set. ><; So I'm determined to get my hands on a set of Fate/Stay Night puchis though
As for the opened blind boxes, it's really unfair. It would have been more fair if they opened a few and didn't put them back and sell them as blind box items. They'll be sure to encounter people who are wanting to buy the whole set. Oh well.
I am considering to get the fate stay night puchis too but not the whole set. If they have loose, I don't mind to get one or two.
They open the blind box to sell the rare and those common they seal it back and sell as random box. Really non-ethical.
You can't blame REM, I guess many also go for Misa except Light...
