If you haven't already heard about Love Hina, check your pulse; you might be dead already =P. Ken Akamatsu's Love Hina is currently the hottest manga AND anime in Japan. The original manga not only spawned the now wildly popular anime, but also several games across four systems: Dreamcast, Playstation, Game Boy Color, and Playstation 2.

As an extra treat for Love Hina fans, the latest volumes of the show on DVD come with Limited Edition Love Hina character figures! Each volume features a different character, which range from 14 to 15 cm tall, and also come with varying accessories. Gotta collect 'em all! Unfortunately, you can't, since some of the Special Editions have gone out of print. Others can still be preordered, however, from import retailers like CD Japan. To make missing some of these figure all the more miserable for you, we have a collection of pics to whet your appetite. Drool on...
