Black Rock Shooter Capturing My Imagination

I can’t explain it, but for some reason I’m finding myself more interested in the Black Rock Shooter (Wikipedia) character design. I think it’s the combination of massive guns and cute, but I’m usually not a fan of cute-styled anime/manga characters so there’s got to be something else going on here. And now I’m starting to think I should track down a few of the various toys that have been released (search Amazon.com*) . . . but damn, some of those toys are pretty pricey.

Take a look at the RAH Black Rock Shooter action figure (mentioned here) and the Black Rock Shooter Animated Version Statue (mentioned here) for just a few examples of toys and statues that are out there already. Cool stuff!
