figma.BP Lelouch Lamperouge

After weeks of waiting, it’s finally here! My Lelouch figma.BP from Max Factory/Banpresto! I don’t usually go out of my way to buy figurines, but when I saw this one on preorder sale at HobbyLink Japan back in February, I knew I had to have it. Being the huge Code Geass fan that I am, …

Culture Presentation Seifuku
