For what it's worth, the hammer is rocket-powered.

Did you miss the part where I said it was planned to be a blade weapon type Shinki? :P

The hammer is also spiked. Spikes are kinda like blades. Did we mention that it's rocket-powered?

All joking aside, once you have a Strarf in your hands, you'll see why no one's giving her up. You'll also likely put off your custom until you get another Strarf. She really is that great.

Any suggestions on making it into a scythe? (or maybe adding a Scythe blade to the back of the hammer for a two-sided weapon)

I only got a Valona and I noticed, at first I wasn't the biggest fan, I just needed her for the Type 1 Body but I hate wasting the other parts of her. (The blades and tail were quite easy to add to Waffe Dolphin and now I have "Stingray", The head will show up in my "Masurao" Custom.)

But I mean, even my favorite toys get attacked by dogs and children invading my space, so I'm shocked people don't have any broken ones they're selling so they can use the money to buy a new one.

With all due respect, does your space happen to have a "door?" Using this "door," you should be able to keep at least dogs away from your prized possessions. As for children, perhaps a higher display shelf is in order. I believe that most Shinki collectors have ways of keeping their stuff safe from natural disasters like animals and human children. We know what kind of money we had to drop on our collection, and we'd hate to see that cash go to more waste than it already has... (Just kidding, girls! I don't think you're a waste at all!) Your best bet is to wait and see if anyone decides to give up the hobby... It happened once before over at TFW2005. Will it happen here? Not likely, but you never know.

Do you have any comic or other hobby shops in your area? If so, check them out. The original Strarf and Arnval were released in the States through Diamond shipping, as well as MaoChao, Howling, and Benio. I just got a Benio the other week from a guy who runs a hobby shop in New York and was still looking to get rid of some stock. If you have anything like that near you, it couldn't hurt to check...

I found no Shinki figures at the Hobby Bench.

I tried 2 different Atomic Comic Stores but that was back around Christmas Time.

I really wish All 4 Anime carried them, they finally started stocking Figma Figures, they're a bit behind on getting new stuff.

You should see if the stores will special order them for you.

They'll do that? I mean, at the store I work at it annoys me when someone asks to special order something we don't carry, and most of the time we're not allowed to special order anyways.

Some stores will and some won't. They will usually check their distributors to see if they can get the item or not. It doesn't hurt to ask.
