Fate/stay night - Saber Armor Version x Haruhi

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 15 May 2008 13:25:00 +0000

Fate/stay night - Saber Armor Version x Haruhi
Released: April 2008
Price: 2700 yen
Manufacturer: Max Factory

Another figure arrived today, Figma
Saber yatta! I love to play around with Figma
figures, there is so many different poses to
experiment with. ^^;

I wanted to add Figma Haruhi today too, cause
the more the merrier.

Both Haruhi and Saber comes with
alot of stuff to play around with. Well,
figma figures always comes with stuff.

Saber comes several hands, faces and 2
really nice swords. Max Factory has done a
great job on both the paintjob and the
molding. Even the small details on the
swords are awesome. I love it.

Fooled around with Saber and Haruhi
for a while, it's hard to find a nice
pose, you really gotta use your
imagination. I'm probably gonna
continue to play around with Saber,
take more photos and so on.

Love my DS, almost sold it but thank
god I changed my mind. I just found
a bunch of stuff to play around with in
my house. I feel like I'm 8 years old again,
playing around with figures, it's awesome. ^^;

Fortune Arterial - Erika Sendo

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 13 May 2008 16:04:00 +0000

Fortune Arterial - Erika Sendo
Released: April 2006
Price: 5500 yen
Manufacturer: Wave

Yaay, Erika finally arrives. Fortune Arterial,
a really nice eroge with one of my favorite
character ever. She comes with a base
and a pretty big board with the name title
on it. Though, it's not the whole title, my guess is
that the other 2 figures (Togi and Kuze) will also
feature these boards. A small plastic piece also
comes and it's suppose to connect to another base.

Togi, Kuze and Erika will probably look awesome
when all 3 are connected. I can't wait.

She looks pretty nice, it's not a 10/10.
I will pray for a GSC nendoroid series and/or
a version from Kotobukiya. Wave isn't my favorite
either, though they have done a pretty nice work
on this too. You could say Wave and Alter are on the
same level, at least that's my opinion.

Paintjob is great, a few spots here
and there, nothing major. Molding is pretty much
flawless, great job. Love her pose too.

Had trouble with the face on this one too,
damn hair (and sun). She got pretty big eyes too,
which fits her, as she got big in the game too.
A bit hard to take a good picture on her pantsu,
but somehow I managed.

With Togi and Kuze, this will be one of
my favorite figureset, it will probably
take up 1 level in my detolf, but it will
be worth it.

Anyone played the eroge?
Did you like it?

Quiz Magic Academy - Shalon

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 13 May 2008 15:42:00 +0000

Quiz Magic Academy - Shalon
Released: Dec 2006
Price: 4500 yen
Manufacturer: Alter

Another figure from the Quiz Magic Academy
in my collection. This time it's the lovely
Shalon. Still haven't seen much from
Quiz Magic Academy, I need to at least
try the game on my DS, is it any good? ^^,

Pretty nice weather today, I'm pretty satisfied
with the photos, except that the swedish newspaper
" Aftonbladet " also got stuck on the photos.
It's a crappy newspaper I tell you.

I tried to take a photo with some
yellow flowers too, came out pretty ok.
Also, small Shalon vs big Shalon, both very
cute. Alter isn't my favorite company though
they did a great job with this and the other
Quiz Magic Academy figures. The molding
and paintjob isn't flawless but close.

Alter, continue like this!

She got a pair of lovely pantsu too. The only
problem with her face is that her fringe kinda covers
the upperhalf of her face, making it hard to take a good
photo of her face. But, she got a sweet face as you can
(almost) see.

Oh, and this is the first time I've seen a figure
been stuck to the base with a screw. Pretty damn neat!

Mabinogi - Nendoroid Nao

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 08 May 2008 15:16:00 +0000

Mabinogi - Nendoroid Nao
Released: Dec 2007
Price: 3500 yen
Manufacturer: Goodsmile Company

Another nendoroid in my collection.
This time it's the cute Nao from
Mabinogi. I haven't played the game
but it seems like Harvest moon mmorpg?

Goodsmile company really delivers
and Nao is flawless. The paintjob is
solid and all the parts are easy to
use. She comes with a big magic staff (I guess),
2 different faces, 4 different arms (not at the same time ^^;)
and the owl (which comes with 4 different wings).

It almost feels like summer now, so it's
pretty awesome to be outside and taking
photos. I haven't worked so much with the
sunlight so if there is anything I could
improve, please comment. ^^-b

Anyone tried the game? Is it any good?
It looks kinda cute. Oh, I also got the
Petit EVA 2 which I will post tomorrow
if I get the time. And, I need to buy more
space for my figures, I got zero space in
my display case. Anyone got a good suggestion?

Demonbane - Al Azif Nendoroid

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 01 May 2008 15:15:00 +0000

Demonbane - Al Azif nendoroid
Released: Feb 2008
Price: 3500 yen
Manufacturer: Goodsmile Company

Goodsmile Company delivers quality, and
they deliver cute stuff. This Al nendoroid
is ubercute, I love her so much. Heck, I love
pretty much all nendoroids, they are bad ass. ^^,

Al azif comes with a few things. She comes with 3
different faces, 2 red ribbons and that, um
helm or something? ^^, Also, that yellow blob,
he looks kinda pissed though. GSC did a great job on the
quality here, it really feels great. The paintjob is
almost flawless, the only problem I have is that the color
on the inside of the helm may create problems for Al's hair.

I want more of Al, mooore. Should really
pre-order the normal Al azif, but my wallet will
get a beat. Did anyone actually enjoy Demonbane? I
thought it was lame, but Al were <3.

Little Busters! - Natsume Rin

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 01 May 2008 15:02:00 +0000

Little Busters! - Natsume Rin
Released: April 2008
Price: 5000 yen
Manufacturer: Cospa

Been pretty busy lately, and GTA 4
got released 2 days ago. And, alot of
goodies has been delayed, damn you Toyslogic.

The godly Hobbysearch delivers always delivers
on time, thank you. My cute and big towel with
Rin on arrived a few days ago. And, here she is.

Yes, it's fresh from the package which means:
crease! Hopefully, all of them will disappear over
time. At least it's soft and sweet, won't use it though. Gonna
try and hang it somewhere, maybe try and use some space
on the ceiling.

Moetan - Pastel Ink Popup Binet

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:47:00 +0000

Moetan - Pastel Ink Popup Binet
Released: April 2008
Price: 8000 yen
Manufacturer: Goodsmile Company

Yay, another great figure from
GSC. This time, it's the moe moe
pastel ink from moetan. She is just
lovely ^^;. Awesome paintjob and great job
on all small details.

There is though several problems with
this figure. First of all, all the small
things she comes with, I had alot of problems
with that. Those long yellow bands that is
suppose to get stuck at her wrists
are just so annoying. I think, I sat with them
for about 10 minutes. Then, there is some random
thing sitting to her left behind her, that I had
a few problems with too.

Anyway, she comes with this big beautiful base with
alot of small details that I just love, just look
at that book. She also comes with another hand and
another blue boring base, which I really think as
waste of space, time and money for GSC to produce.

Now, I want my small nendoroid moetan and I got 2
of the cutest figures so far, I just want to hug and
cuddle with them. A warning though, don't as the
non-nendoroid would probably fall to pieces. ^^;

Fate/stay night - Nendoroid Hetare Saber

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:28:00 +0000

Fate/stay night - Nendoroid Hetare Saber
Released: Oct 2006
Price: 3000 yen
Manufacturer: Goodsmile Company

Finally got my hands on the
nendoroid Saber. The rest of the team
is arriving hopefully in a few weeks.

Anyway, Saber comes with a lion, 2 faces,
sword, steering wheel (for the lion) and a
transparent base. This is a fun nendoroid to play
around with, and oh so cute! I can't wait for
the other characters, you could probably play
around alot and take really cool photos.

The lion is awesome, though it feels a bit
cheap. But the details on it and the paintjob
is great.

As you can see, some of the photos are darker
as I turned her around. They came out pretty
good.

It was such a good day, warm and only a
few clouds. Let's hope these days continue,
as I want to take more photos of my figures
in the outside world. ^^;

One of my favorite nendoroids so far,
but Saber is pure epic anyway. More
nendoroid to the people, they are cute
and fun to play around with (photosession).

Konna musume ga itara boku ha mou !! - Suzuhara Shino

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 13:39:00 +0000

Konna musume ga itara boku ha mou !! - Suzuhara Shinon
Released: April 2008
Price: 11,300 yen
Manufacturer: Matching World

Ah, I really like this pillow. Suzuhara is so
cute, and soft. ^^;

Like Komari, this is about 150x50 cm, so it takes
up alot of space in the bed. But, it's worth it as the
material is somewhat different from the Komari.
Matching world went with a more soft material on this one
and I appericiate that.

The details, motive and colors are all damn
fine, Matching World ichiban! Both sides are
awesome, but I'm going with the " less clothes, more skin".
I'm not to sure how I'm gonna fit the 2 pillows and
myself in my bed yet, any ideas? ^^,

Note: It comes with a set of sweet dreams. (b・∀・)b

Quiz Magic Academy - Aloe & CPU Shalon

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:43:00 +0000

Quiz Magic Academy - Aloe & CPU Shalon
Released: March 2008
Price: 5300 Yen
Manufacturer: Alter

My cute Aloe & CPU Shalon arrived 2 days ago,
and it's a fine set of 2 figures. I haven't watched
Quiz Magic Academy yet, is it any good? Anyhow,
I'm gonna take a look at that anime later on.

2 figures, we got the cute Aloe which comes with 2
different hands. One normal and one were she holds an egg,
I guess this has something to do with the anime?
And, the small CPU Shalon which is so cute.

When I took the photos, I later discovered
some small lights here and there, and I'm
not too sure how I can take a photo without
them? I know it has something to do with the
lamps, but not really sure if it's the strength of
the light or maybe the angle.

I also got pretty strong shadows, nothing
major though.

Anyhow, Alter has done a pretty good job on
this one. The paintjob is pretty solid, and it feels
good. Her face is the only part I dislike, I think it
feels so plain and boring. Everything else is fine.
The hair looks awesome too, I love twintails. ^^;

At least the underwear looks good, kinda hard to
get a good photo though, as she tends to fall over
alot.

CPU Shalon, kawaii desu ne~ About 6cm..

I'm really happy I ordered this, it's a fine set of
figures. Getting CPU Shalon to stay on her arms
were a pain though, but I got her to stay at last. (b・∀・)b
Now, I want a 1/8 Shalon PVC.

Little Busters! Dakimukura - Kamikita Komari

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 11:27:00 +0000

Little Busters! Dakimukura - Kamikita Komari
Released: March 2008
Price: 9000 Yen
Manufacturer: Cospa

Ah, my cute Komari pillow. I'm really satisfied
with this one. The material is soft and clean,
so it's really nice to sleep with. Though, she takes
up alot of space in the bed. The size is about
150x50cm which is big. But, I won't complain,
I like it alot. The worst thing about pillows like this
is that you can't buy alot of them, cause they take up
alot of space. But, I wouldn't mind filling my bed with these.

But, it was damn hard to take photos on it, because
of the size. Is there any good way of taking
photos on things like these?

Cospa did a great job on the details on
the pillow. It looks so great, even better
when you stand next to it. Many of you should know
that things like pillowcovers and towels often
got these crease in the beginning. So, the photos
came out kinda weird. Anyhow, I'm happy with my
Komari, and hopefully Cospa will release a Rin
Dakimukura, then I will be happy panda. ^^;

I will take photos on my other pillow later on,
which is more of a NSFW pillow. But, it's damn fine.
So, look forward to it my fellow otakus.

True Tears Sports Towel

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:42:00 +0000

True Tears Sports Towel
Released: April 2008
Price: 2500 Yen
Manufacturer: Broccoli

I recieved a big package this morning
and thought that it was gonna be my
pillow covers and figure, but no. Instead,
I got this True Tears sports towel. It's weird
how I can get the towel before my covers and figure
when it's EMS shipment on both and they sent the covers
and figure first. Anyway, this is a fine towel and
I'm not gonna use it. It will have to be put somewhere
were everyone can see it.

I took the photos this evening and with 1-2 lamps,
and the autosetting on the camera. The photos came out a bit
dark, but as this is just a small towel it's not a big deal.
Had a hard time holding the camera still too, as I don't got a big
tripod (yet). I also did a bit of a work in Gimp, I don't like using
programs after but sometimes it can save even the worst photos.

It's a pretty small towel, but oh so soft,
23.0 x 19.5 x 1.5 cm /160g.

Did anyone watched the anime? I loved it.

Anime 2008 ~ My watchlist~

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:01:00 +0000

The year is flying by really fast.
We are already in the middle of april, and
of course alot of new anime is aired.

I've started to follow a few new anime,
and I can say that it seems that this " batch "
is better than the start of the year.
If there is any anime I missed, please comment
and give any suggestions as I don't want to miss
anything.

Allison to Lillia

MADHOUSE

A fine anime that probably will offer action,
mystery and drama. The animations aren't topnotch but
" cute " and fits perfect. The anime isn't a
big deal, but still worth looking out for.

Blassreiter

GONZO, Nitro+

One of my most wanted series this year, and how
did it turn out? Alot of cg's, alot of action and
awesome animation. I'm not a big fan of cg's, but Blass
does a good job with it. It's a bad ass anime with bad ass
characters.

Bus Gamer

Frontier Works

I didn't have my eyes on this, it just popped up
from the underground. And boy, this is a great anime
in my opinion. One of my favorites at the moment, it's
still unclear if it will be able to hold onto the cool
and dark atmosphere. The characters are great, and the
Noname team got an awesome mix of 3 guys. I'm gonna
follow this to the end.

Code Geass R2

CLAMP

I think everyone knows this one. Will probably
be one of the better shows this year.

Druaga no To: the Aegis of Uruk

GONZO

I love how this anime is a parody of the
shounen/fantasy ones. It really makes fun of every
element that exist in these kinda shows. The anime
itself isn't that great, but thanks to the parody and
animation, it's one you need on your watchlist.

Itazura na Kiss

TMS Entertainment

Itazura doesn't seem that special, but I'm gonna
give it a few more episodes. It seems to be the normal
girl falls in love with guy that are superior. The
animation isn't that good either. At least the female
protagonist is cute.

Kamen no Maid Guy

MADHOUSE

Had this on my watchlist since last year, and it turned
out to be so-so. Another new anime that has a pretty
low quality on the animation. The design on the other hand is
pretty neat, though Kogarashi is ugly like hell. Will give it
2 more episodes.

Kanokon

XEBEC

Furries, cute furries. I liked this alot though
it will have a crappy story, but who on earth watch
this kinda anime for the story? The animation is lovely
and the characters are cute (females). Will be finishing
this, hopefully the twinlolis will be appearing soon. ^^;

Kurenai

Brains Base

Kurenai, one of the more serious shows. Awesome anime,
I already love it. Interesting base of characters and
seem to have an epic story. Animation is clean too, a good
job on this one, BB. Should be on the must watchlist.

Special A

GONZO

Special A, the first episode wasn't that good. It didn't
introduce something new or at least tried to remake something.
I know that alot of the new anime isn't remarkable or
unique either but, at least they got a good base of characters,
great animation or story. This lacks pretty much all of it, I will
still give it 1 more episode to see if it deliver something else.
This and Itazura na Kiss is the worst so far.

Soul Eater

BONES

BONES, yay. Eureka 7 and now this. Soul Eater got
one of the best animation so far, I love it. And,
Soul Eater got the best OP so far too, TMR is
awesome. This anime got it all, from bad ass action,
cool characters, and cute witches/magical cats ^^;.
It seems to have a pretty ok story too, nothing in the
top 10 but it sure works with everything in the anime.
And, Soul Eater is a bad ass. Put it on the must
watchlist.

Toraburu

XEBEC

XEBEC got Kanokon and this now. 2 of the best ecchi
anime so far. I think most of us knows Lala-chan
and her adventure. At least those who has been
reading the manga. Like Kanokon, beautiful girls but
lacks a great story. On the watchlist, cause it's
so cute. ^^;

Vampire Knight

Studio DEEN

Um, a bad ass vampire anime with beautiful vampires.
Does this work for the hardcore fans or the girls? I'm not
sure, but I liked it. It seems to have a perfect balance
with comedy and action. It will be interesting to follow
the extremely cute Yuki and bad ass Zero. On the must
watchlist too. Oh, and this got an awesome OP too.

Wagaya no Oinari-sama

ZEXCS

I'm not sure were to put this anime, but it seems
to be something between a mystery with furries and
a small part of comedy. Hopefully, it will maintain
the serious act throughout the whole anime as it was
great. Animation were great, Ku-chan kawaii~. Must
watchlist on this too.

xxxHOLiC: Kei

CLAMP, Production I.G

Most of us should know what xxxHOLiC is. I liked it
and will be following this. CLAMP, you are awesome.

Kite Liberator

Lantis

Same as with Bus Gamer, I didn't knew about this.
And, gosh what an anime. After the first OVA was
finished, I wanted more and I can't wait for it.
The action is bad ass in this one, with an cute female
protagonist Monaka. Here, the animation is topnotch
in my opinion, it's just so beautiful. The design is
awesome too. On my must watchlist.

My blog - Update 1

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:31:00 +0000

Puuh, been working with the blog today and still
going strong. I will focus on making the blog
a bit prettier with more pictures, and less
textlinks. I will also change a bit of the
codeparts, but nothing major.

Oh, and a small note. A few of my things
has been shipped now, so look forward for new
pictures next week!

Wagamama Capriccio - Melissa Seraphy

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 17:41:00 +0000

Wagamama Capriccio - Melissa Seraphy
Released: Aug 2006
Price: 5300 Yen
Manufacturer: Goodsmile Company

My first figure out in the nature. It was a pretty fine
day in my backyard, no direct sunlight and no clouds.
Anyway, Melissa is an old figure, so I didn't take
alot of pictures, just for testing and suggestions.
Melissa is damn cute, with or without her pumpkin.
Though, she looks better without it. (b・∀・)b

Her pumpkin is pretty cool, I like it. It was pretty
hard to get it off the first time, but it was worth it. ^^;
Everything seems like it got good quality and the
job is superb on it. Being my favorite company, GSC really
brings the best things to the table.

She looks better without the pumpkin, though she
can't stand without it on the base. Gotta have to find
something to support her from behind. Small details on
the panties, and I love the color. The little ribbon
is awesome too, great paint job.

I can't wait for the nendoroid Melissa to be
released, omega kawaii. The only problem I had with
taking pictures outside was the stupid bugs everywhere.
And that my cute Melissa got her shoes dirty.
If you don't own this figure, buy it now! It's a
gorgeous looking figure and with the nendoroid coming
you can have some fun.

Little Busters - Multi Can

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 19:29:00 +0000

Little Busters - Multi Can
Released: March 2008
Price: 900 Yen
Manufacturer: Cospa

Another Little Busters thing from Cospa. This multi can
is something I'm never gonna use, just keep it as a small
decoration in my detolf. Cospa did a better job with this
one, as this is pretty much flawless. Even the details are
perfect. This little baby is about 9.7 x 9.4 x 9.4 cm, so it's
not that big either.

This one was quite annoying to take good photos on.
I used daylight on this, and was going to use a small
lamp on the right but I didn't felt that it was a must.
It was hard to get the details too, as it's kinda special.
But, I somehow managed to take a few photos showing it.

I like these small stuff, they are cheap and often got
beautiful details. Perfect as a decoration.

Little Busters - Kudryavka Cup

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 18:54:00 +0000

Little Busters - Kudryavka Cup
Released: March 2008
Price: 900 Yen
Manufacturer: Cospa

A nice little cup from Cospa, with the cute Kudryavka
as a motive. I really like this one, it was quite cheap
though it's not flawless. I can't really expect it to be
perfect as it's massproduced. It's about 10.9 x 7.5 x 7.5 cm
so it's not big, but it's perfect for a cup of tea.

And as the Little Busters fan I am, I need every
little thing with the LB logo on. ^^;

(also known as Etrian Odyssey DS game). Wave has done
something neat with this one, I really like the design
and feeling from this figure. It looks awesome.
Comes with a sword, that you can either point
forward with her, or to the back. I use it to the
back and it looks awesome. ^^,
Watch out for it though, it can probably damage
an eye or two. (>・∀・)>

Good work on those details. This figure doesn't have
a single flaw (yet), though I'm not really looking for
it. This is one of my favorites now. The paintjob and
molding looks like a great amount of work too.

A bit dark, but you can't miss her
badass face. Lovely red eyes. Ah, I should
have used my reflector on a different spot.

Comes with a black base. It looks really good,
though it seems to get dusty fast T_T.
I like these black shiny bases better than the
transparent one's. The wood bases are awesome too.

I haven't played Sekaijuu no Mekiyuu, but I just
had to buy this. Wave did a great job with this one,
I'm impressed. I'm hoping for more from Wave with this
quality, they aren't far from GSC.

Bought it from HLJ (HobbyLink Japan).

Little Busters! Tumbler - Rin / Komari

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 12:56:00 +0000

Little Busters - Rin / Komari
Released: Jan 2008
Price: 1900 Yen
Manufacturer: Broccoli

I love my new tumbler, I just love it. (b・∀・)b
This is probably something that only Little
Busters! fan will buy, but it's pretty
neat to have when you want to store your hot
or cold tea, chocolate or whatever you like.

It's made of stainless steel, and the bottom is
made of urethane, so it won't slip. It's pretty big
17.3 cm tall and you can have about 400ml in it.
The image with Rin and Komari is lovely, everyone
will be jealous when you got this with you (well,
at least the LB fans that couldn't find it). ^^;

It was pretty hard to take a good photo of this,
to much reflections and hard to get a nice light.
But, I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

More Little Busters! merchandise later today,
gonna go and fetch my multi-chan and cup, yay.

More goodies!

Finally my package from HobbyLink arrives. It only
took 21 days, which is in my opinion slow and
I have to pay a small tax. Hobby Search is faster,
no tax and pretty much the same prices.

Anyway, the following items arrived:

Little Busters! Tumbler
Al Azif Nendroid
Bushido Girl

Look forward to pictures later today or tomorrow.

Clannad - Kyou mini pillow

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:34:00 +0000

Clannad (Kyon)
Released: March 2008
Price: 2185 Yen
Manufacturer: MATCHING WORLD

Around 09:00 today, the doorbell is ringing. Way to early
for me, as I got in bed around 04:00. Anyway, I'm drowsy
like a pair of rotten oranges. But, I made it in time!
The postman stood there with my small package from
Hobby Search. And in it, this small cute pillow, which is
insanely soft. Kyou-chan, kawaii.

I love this pillow, though I can't wait for my
150x50 pillowcovers to arrive. Hopefully, Hobby Search
will ship them today or tomorrow.

NGE - Evangelion at School Petit Eva vol.2

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:10:00 +0000

Evangelion
Released: Oct 2007
Price: 4200 Yen
Manufacturer: Bandai

Woho, finally got one of my Petit Eva boxes. A
must buy for any fan, I just love it! There is
9 figures + 1 special in a single box. Some
sites say that you don't always get the secret,
if thats the case, well then I'm lucky. (b・∀・)b

The secret in vol.2 is this adorable Keel Lorentz (?).
I don't really understand why it says Keel Lorentz,
other than the mask that he also wears. Anyway, she looks
bad ass with the mask on. A good choice for a secret figure.

And as always, there is a few cute mini animals/angels
in each box, kawaii ne. (^ з^)

I'm really happy with the content in this one.
You can do pretty much with them, fun photos
and try different settings. I can't wait for the
rest of my boxes, also gotta buy the first one.
They are pretty cheap, I mean you get alot of stuff
and in my opinion you can have more fun with these
and nendroids, than you can with bigger ones (figma
owns though).

I also got NGE platinum box, Air artbox + dvd
and NHK ni Youkoso! artbox + dvd, pictures later.

Why Toyslogic, why?

Ah, Togi-chan kawaii. Fortune Arterial, nice game.

The end of march is here, and that means a sh*tload of
merchandise for me, or at least so I thought.

I looked over all my orders for this month and now
Toyslogic moved a few of them to april, which is
stupid. If it says 31 march, then release it 31 march,
dammit! Well, at least Hobby Search, Hobby Link and
Rightstuf are on the spot. Hopefully this week, I will have
a few things to show in my blog.

April is gonna be a sweet month aswell, I will
recieve even more merchandise this month (if Toys
isn't toying with me) and of course GTA IV will
be released, finally. And of course we got alot of new
anime airing, which will hopefully be better than the
start of this year. So far I liked 5 of the new series,
need more epic ones.

Anyway, good year so far.
