I do also have this, it's a little dirty because I've used it on my keys before changing what I had on them and my room is dusty as hell..

I think it's because of the rising popularity of the card game and the recent-ish movie, that I could find some stuff, which I'm not complaining about, my figure it seed freedom base and I love his outfit in that ehuue 🥰

gundam shop, I'd been to a place that sold that line of stands but they had sold out of Athrun so it was nice to see in stock there! From the same shop I got a random badge that turned out to be Kira, welp.

but woo, seed merch! 🥹 I rarely find some and it's a delight when I do.

but my partner begged me, any one but her 😂 those were in a different shop before I found the Athrun one and my partner was fine with that, after that dumb scene from the movie with seeing in Athrun's mind, they actually like Athrun a little more aha..

Also got an Athrun acrylic stand from the

I've been to quite a few cons and merch shops and that was the first time I ever saw a full athrun figure in person and it wasn't a little gache collectable so yeah, I couldn't help myself, I wanted it ;3; It wasn't expensive, actually quite affordable? There was Lacus (well, two different ones)

It's the same with a couple of the characters in season 3, but hey, I still enjoy the original cast.

sorry for the rant, I haven't had a good long anime binge in a while and I have a lot of thoughts aha.

Oh yeah, it was the same for Chelsea as well tbh, it felt she was just dropped in for the sake of it, I didn't like her character introduction, nor do I like her personality or design either, orz. It's just, everyone (well, most) got a nice bit of character growth and she's now just there <w>

I know not to have realistic expectations with the series and it did add comedy value in some places and the idea was to go from primitive to advance, idk, it just bothered me a bit, however it didn't take from the experience.

My only urk was that inventing got more and more rushed as you got into the series more, especially in season 3. To begin with in season 1, they gathered and collected resources, worked there way up but in season 3 it felt more like wham! bam! science! Here's your invention.
