These little friends of mine are always accompany me where ever I go. I fell in love with them from the moment I saw them on HLJ. I got them back in 2002 and they always near me since. Usually I put them near my PC monitor at home, I brought them also to my office a few years ago, now they're in my study room.
These figures are from Little Snow Fairy Sugar anime, produced by Yujin as trading figure collection, consist of 5 figures (color and transparent) so you need 10 to complete them as a set. But I only like those 3, the rest of them is stored in my parents house. They're name are Sugar (white costume), Pepper (green costume), and Salt (orange costume).
Everyone agree that trading figures can't be compared to 1/8 or bigger PVC figures in terms of quality. But in my opinion, these figures are top notch trading figures even until today when most of trading figures increase in quality. The design is great, their 3-in-1 design is cleverly done, one of the earliest design that combine several figures into one.


Each character (especially their costume) have impressive details, also very well sculpted. Their simple & clean character design is very perfect to be made to small trading figures like these. The paint job also good, standard figures quality. We can see several color tones on each of their costume. One of the low point is the PVC casting. They were not perfect but overall still excellent.



These figures were photographed at the same time with my Azumanga Daioh resin figure so they have similar quality problems. We can see the dim light quality and yellowish tone (because of the lamp), need to brighten them and add several tonal and color correction layers to make them look better.
