[Review] Prisma Illya 2wei! Manga Vol. 4 Limited Edition w/ Nendoroid Petite Prisma Illya by Kadokawa Group Publishing

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 08:15:00 +0000

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've haven't been too hardworking with updating my figurine blog these days and I've been cutting down on my orders, this is my final 3 order. I hope they won't come up with anything that I like or I won't be able to stop buying at all. Anyways, pre-ordered this from AmiAmi since last January 13th and finally got my invoice on September 27th, made payment and finally arrived today October 5th.

If you're interested to get it, you still able to order from AmiAmi, here.

This set is selling for 2,381 yen. *roll eyes at AmiAmi. They sell for 2,500 yen. I had a combine shipping with a friend on another figure set so shipping wasn't that expensive but currency went bad and the price was slightly higher but it's fine. This is not the most expensive figure I've got hehe.

The set includes:1) Nendoroid Petit Prisma Illya (after transformation)2) Newly recorded drama CD (approx. 60min.)3) Limited edition manga (in the special cover with exclusive illustration)

I was just gonna leave it MISB with the other pile but since a friend told me his nendoroid petit is missing a hair piece, I went slightly panicky and open mine to check. End up doing this review instead. Okay.

Cuts outer plastic. Take out.

The usual packaging. Nendoroid petit at 1 side and the other is the manga and CD!

Lets look at the manga first. First few pages (maybe 2-3 pages) are color.

And inside is black and white.

Now the CD.

Yet to turn this on. Maybe later.

Now to the nendoroid petit.

Takes a moment and *sniffffffffffffffffffffffff~ ahhhh the smell of new nendo.

Okay, sorry 'bout that. *takes out everything.

That's what you get. 2 facial expression! Yay~

*Takes off plastic. I usually take off and remove plastic but some part looks a bit too fragile that I was reluctant to pull the body parts apart, so just tore the plastic like how my friend, Pjal did with the ones I had last time. I'm not taking any risk in breaking it okay.

Cutest thing EVER! And the make is so nice. Smooth~ in comparison with the sets. *roll eyes. I find those are slightly poor quality. In a way of saying, the detailing for these are better.

Now attach it back and massive photograph it. With my smartphone that is.

Front back left right :)

The other facial expression.

So happy.

There, hope this help you peeps make decision to get it :) It's all worth it! Gawd I love this series! But I do not want to get the sets. Hmph~

[Review] Monthly Anime Style - Issue 1 with Nendoroid Petite: Taiga Aisaka - Final Episode ver.

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 08:51:00 +0000

My second purchase via Mandrake. Satisfied. Too bad they don't have SAL registered for shipping. EMS is a bit expensive. It took around 8 days for this to reach me from Japan. I've been hunting it via ebay and mandrake for months. I actually nearly got it via ebay which is sold for RM160++ with the magazine but I lost track of time, someone outbid me. I got this for less than 4,000 yen, I think.

Since the order I made is without the magazine, I can't review about it. Just the nendoroid petite hehe.

According to Good Smile Company product description.

The magazine 'Monthly Anime Style' is coming back... this time coupled with Nendoroid Petites!

Anime Style was a popular magazine featuring articles that delved deep into the work of anime studios and creators - and now it's coming back as "Monthly Anime Style", which will be a monthly publication and will feature a Nendoroid Petite relating to the special feature in each issue!

The first issue features special coverage on the anime 'Toradora!" - including never revealed secrets about the show and never before seen discussions with the main staff, as well as a number of original images. The Nendoroid Petite for this issue is the adorable Taiga Aisaka wearing the cute uniform that she wore in the very last episode of the series. The second special feature in this issue is 'Heart Capture Pretty Cure!' and will include articles exploring the work of the character designer of the series - Yoshihiko Umakoshi. This issue will also feature Mamoru Hosoda, Tatsuya Oishi, Ichirou Ookouchi, Ayumu Watanabe and even a brand new manga by the director of Gurren Lagaan - Hiroyuki Imaishi.

More info, here.

Here's some photos I took of the nendoroid petite I just receive today hehe.

Bubble wrapped!

No damage to box.

Taking it out.

Unbox.

More bubble wrap.

Remove from plastic.

Surprisingly, it's softer than the previous nendoroid petite that I have. I mean it's easier to attach and remove the parts.

More photos.

I think I'll regret not purchasing this. My favorite character. Satisfying indeed. Now to take photo with the others.

Last but not least, me and Taiga :)

Dengeki G's Magazine 2011 Sept. Issue with Nendoroid Petite Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko Erio

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 06:11:00 +0000

I apologize for the lack of update. Last updated in February. Oh gawd.

Image from AmiAmi

I've been busy with some personal stuff like losing weight and keep fit that I've stacked a bunch of nendoroids to a mountain of em. Heck, I haven't even got time to open my Black Rock Shooter (BRS) nendo series yet. *le sigh. But thankfully today I brought along this with me to work and took some photos with my handy dandy smartphone :) Oh yeah, on another note, my Canon Powershot A710 IS that I had for years is dying, well it sort of died but not entirely. Still can take photo but no views on the screen. Time for a new camera huhu.

So I placed my order with AmiAmi around June if I'm mistaken, I almost missed this or wanted to miss it cause I think I sort of had this withdrawal syndrome towards nendoroids. But I couldn't help it and made the purchase. This cost around 990 yen. But with shipping, it cost more. I think I got this for over 2k yen. Shipping cost is an ass.

Received this in August. Early August and left it to collect dust for few days cause didn't have time to do this review yet.

The Dengeki G's Magazine 2011 September Issue comes with Nendoroid Petite Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko Erio. And that's about it. Heavy magazine is heavy. No regrets though. I'm such a big fan of nendoroid petite compared to nendoroid. Size matter. The smaller the cuter. Well, that's just me that is. I think a bundled nendoroid petite could cost more than a normal size nendoroid sometimes. *sad.

Here's the single pack I got. Packed and shipped nicely.

So here's some shots I took of the magazine.

Some of the pages. There's some Black Rock Shooter goodness in there.

Now lets get to the figure.

Front and back of the box.

Lets take it out.

Woot? Bubble wrap? *plays for awhile.

Take out, it's divided to 8 categories.

Take em all out.

Assemble it.

You got 2 option for the hair and the cap.

The cap.

The hair and the cap doesn't go together cause you'll get this which is kind of weird.

Till the next review. Hope you enjoy reading and looking at the photos for this. Oh gawd, the numbers of MISB. Must open it!

Nendoroid Petite Harumi Hosono

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 08:51:00 +0000

I have time to take it out of the box but no time to review this yet. I just brought her outside the house for some photo taking :D

1st Nendoroid Gathering in Sabah

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 04:38:00 +0000

I was gonna blog about it this morning but my pages wouldn't want to load. Anyways, yesterday (10th Oct 2010) was our 1st Sabah Nendoroid Gathering. We have new collectors yay~ I think the people who collects a lot of nendoroid and are active collectors here is Pjal, myself and the owners of Hobby Densetsu. I mean seriously, are they anymore nendoroid collectors that I know of here? Show yourself! Join us at Nendoroid Sabah Club, our facebook page, here.

Our first gathering was at Kirameki Cafe. From noon till I don't know wut time. I was there till 4pm I think coz I was a bit tired. I nearly didn't go. Since I have problem transporting most of my nendos and since all of em are in box and some are MISB, I decided to bring puchi instead coz I've already remove em from box for last minute photo taking experience. I need a bigger container, seriously.

And since I got some Do-Tai nekkid body and toilet miniature furniture set, I brought that along. Oh and I brought my DIY pillow that I made for Sebastian. Wait! Those bath tub and toilet are requested by Pjal btw.

Hetare Saber ;3

Some of my collection.

Fun! Met some new collectors :D very happeh.

More photos, here.

Oh and if you're a Kamen Rider fan, feel free to join here.

I've been going back and forth to online figure shop sites and thinking whether I should get that BD and DVD Black Rock Shooter First Release Limited Edition that comes with Nendoroid Petite BRS and Dead Master.

As much as I want these, I am trying really hard to limit myself from pre-ordering it. I have already have an order for December 2010 release which cost around 1,600 yen. Adding this would add another 3k yen. Not forgetting heavy pre-order in August (due to delayed items) - October of this year.

Maybe it's best for me to skip this coz if I decided to pre-order, I might not be able to stop purchasing all BRS related items.

Though, for those who wanted to order this, may do so via these online websites:

Amazon.jp
AmiAmi
Animetsu
Hobby Search

Review: Dengeki G's Magazine August 2010 with Nendroid Petite Angel Beats! Tenshi

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 14:48:00 +0000

Finally I can blog! I've been trying to post this 2 hours ago. The line been crazy slow since yesterday. I'm sorry for the lack of updates, been bz catching up with TV series. Heck because of the downtime and since I'm now sleepy, I'm less motivated to write this post. But hey, I'll do my best in roughly reviewing the above mentioned.

It was my first order with Otacute. I was reluctant to proceed with my order at first coz I was getting not so great feedback from people around the net about their services. But decided to proceed with it cause I wanted to give em a fair trial. Oh yeah, btw the magazine is sold for 990 yen (tax included). I got this for USD20++ (including registered SAL).

My personal experience purchasing from this online site.

Unable to combine shipment for item unless of the same month. Pretty common, AmiAmi also doing the same thing.
Can't cancel pre-orders/orders after confirm. I think the only hobby/figurine online shop that I shop with that allows cancellation through the system is HobbyLinkJapan.
There's four (4) types of shipping available: SAL (unregistered), SAL (registered), EMS and FedEx. It's priced accordingly being SAL (unregistered) is the cheapest method but not so save and takes maybe around 2 weeks for item to arrive and FedEx being the most expensive. My usual shipping would be EMS (equivalent to Malaysia Pos Laju which is not so "laju" at times). My choice for shipping the magazine is with SAL (registered). It took less than 10 days to arrive.
Figurine pricing quite similar to the other online figure sites. No complain there.
Customer service response time, not as fast as I expected. So far I've enquired from AmiAmi and HLJ, they reply very fast.
Item condition, not bad. Will show some photos below.

Overall, the services they offer are quite similar with the other figure online website. I didn't have any problem with the shipment and my item arrived safely. I think it could arrive earlier, judging from local postal and how they manage things could be worst. Hmm, I guess I'm lucky? This time. Heheh~

Here's my package. Arrived 3 days ago. I've been meaning to blog about it but I was too busy with other stuff. Heck, I got plenty of pending figurines to blog about. Need to make time to take photos and organize the boxes. It's all stacked next to my computer table collecting dust. OMFG. Must put em in a cover away from dust!

The content:

Close up:

Broucher and stickers of Kaiyado products. In other words, Revoltech.

Nendoroid Petite Tenshi/Kanade.

Oh my box got squashed a bit.

The magazine.

Not much about Angel Beats. I flipped it but forgot to take photos of some of the pages.

Taking out the nendo petite.

Taking it out from the plastic always gets me excited.

Parts laid out on the table. Oh this face is so cute. What's uncute is that her hand won't be able to do much. Notice there's 2 hoel on her hair? One (1) is for her ponytail.

Why do I have two (2) of that? *curious. I notice though there's hole on her body too. Meaning you could either put it on the body or the hair? @_@"""

If you missed out on this, you could get the Angel Beats! Nendoroid Petite set #2 which will be release in November 2010. Selling for 2,100 yen (tax included). Comes with Yui and Otonashi. More info via Good Smile Company website, here. But of course, you'll have a different set of facial expression and hand gestures.

I'm guessing this set Tenshi comes with changeable hands XD

And a softer facial expression it seems.

I'm happy to say that I'm glad I didn't skip her. This was worth it! I'll try to take a shot of her with Yurippe when I have time ;)

Till my next post, I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post ;)

Review: BooBoo Kagabu- limited Edition Manga with Kagaboo Figure by Kadakawa Shoten

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Mon, 24 May 2010 04:14:00 +0000

I received this a week ago or so, ordered it from Animetsu for RM100. It's always good to order comic/magazine base products from local seller, I think because the price is sort of fixed? Well, you don't need to worry about shipping price that's for sure.

The Kagaboo ( かがぶー ) non-scale PVC figure from the “Lucky Star” ( らき☆すた ) doujin “Boo Boo Kagaboo” ( ぶーぶーかがぶー ) by Eretto ( えれっと ) from the doujin circle Utsura Uraraka ( うつらうららか ) which was released by Kadokawa. This is bundled with the manga “Boo Boo Kagaboo Bootto Limited Edition” ( ぶーぶーかがぶーぶーっと限定版 ). Sold for 1,890 yen (tax included).

I love this kinda package I think because it's compact and the figure is pack inside. Unlike those magazines which doesn't have the same size as the figure box hmph~

The front and back cover of the box.

It'd totally be nice if you could have an army of Kagaboo like the front cover. But I'd be totally crazy if I wanna do that. I know somebody with an army of nendoroid petite Kaito *uhuk~. Oh and notice the back? You get a preview of the figure. This is just like the Nagato Yuki (nendoroid petite) packaging. Only I missed out on the pre-order, hence had to get it triple the original price from e-bay *sigh.

Unboxing it. The content?

The comic book.

It's like a full almost 90 pages of color! I'm telling you it was insane. But hehe I haven't gone through it, yet.

Oh, and this, I forgot what's the content though hehe. But it's black and white.

Now the figure.

The only thing that came with the figure is the figure itself and the base. But then, if you wanna make it stand, you don't really need to use the base hehe, except for scratch prevention. I don't think any part of the body is detachable, I tried but scared might damage it, so I didn't detach anything hehe. Don't you think it's the cutest thing EVER!? I love it regardless.

July & August Nendoroids

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 07:51:00 +0000

Good Smile Company (GSC) doesn't seem to show any sign of break, just when I thought they're slowing down. I was so wrong.

Today, announced the pre-order for Manaka Takane Nendoroid (release in August 2010) figure from Love Plus and Francesca Lucchini from Strike Witches (release in July 2010). I've already did both blog post at Animetsu Blog, just click the link.

Manaka Takane comes in four (4) different expression and selling for 3,500 yen. I want this!

I find the expression is so damn cute.

GSC will also release the other two (2) characters Nene and Rinko in the future.

Strike Witches Francesca.

As cute as the facial expression is, I'm skipping this coz I dun really watch Strike Witches. Hmm somehow this reminds me of Sky Girls. I have no idea why.

To buy or not to buy? *thinks hard. Lemme check my order list first. Won't wanna go over budget again now do we? Besides, I'm waiting for Revoltech Toro and Kuro in October. Gotta save some $$ for that.

Review: Angel Beats! Yurippe Nendoroid Petite

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 07:52:00 +0000

I did a post about the content of this package previously at Animetsu blog, here.

Today, I'm very happy to say that I've added her into my collection list ;) It arrives today, but I had to go post office to collect it myself. Bummer!~ Thank gawd for AmiAmi's 50% off EMS on shipment, I saved a lot. I've ordered two (2) sets. One though is for Pjal. Come on collect it!

Anyways, going to post office around noon is not farnie. Parking is not farnie. I was driving in circles (I think I turned more than 5 times), and look for parking near it instead. Nearly did an illegal parking but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Mind you, I'd go to the post office for package collection not to say often but I think too many times but I doubt any of those people at the counter would recognize me. But for the first time, the dood at the counter mistaken me for a japanese. Oh ogie, I was mistaken for a korean before during my last visit in 1997 but to be mistaken in your own country? That'd be the first time. He'd ask for a passport instead of my ID. Weird. And he repeated wut he said twice. "I thought you're a japanese". Oh ogie, I'm not deaf. I can hear you just fine.

And this is the biggest box I ever receive from ordering. Ogie maybe not the biggest but the widest maybe? Iono. Lemme let you guys see why I'd say that. I mean I had a box filled with three (3) nendoroids boxes before, this were wide and surprisingly light. I'd expect something heavy LOL.

I went back to my office straight after I collected my package. Somehow I know that if I went and get some vegetarian lunch at Gaya Street, I'd be disappointed coz it usually sold out fast. I'm left hungry with no lunch. But it's ogie, I'm sort of fasting/on diet. Hehe.

I'd brought the box back to the office and open it direct. I mean I'm overly excited and curious at the same time. Wouldn't you do the same?

Here's the box. Since the pathetic me dun have a ruler, I'd use the pen instead, to show you how big the box is.

And these fits two (2) sets of those Angel Beats! bundled with Dengeki G's Festival Vol. 6 magazine mind you.

Now open the box. Front and back view of the content.

As you can see, the front view is as described at online figurine sites while the back is a series of product by chara-ani that will be release in few months.

Now you can see, that back thing is obviously the magazine. And yes, it's that thin. It's A4 size with additional 1 inch to the width. The magazine is a roughly 70 pages of introduction/interview/character introduction and etc. I'll walk you through some of the pages with photos aight.

And yes! I intentionally took the photo about Shiina-san! Gosh I love that character, well apart from the others of course. Oh yeah, not forgetting the interview pages an d notice the band pages? OMG those are kewl as collection figures *uhuk~. You know? *hint K-ON! Even though they're not the lead characters in that series, they're one kewl band! Be cafeful wut you wish for, it may came true and I'll be broke till I know it.

Oh another great news is...

A set of three (3) gonna be release soon. No idea when though. Lookie lookie! Shiina-san YATTA!!! I hope I won't miss out on Tenshi's nendoroid petite figure in June.

Now lets get back to the box that comes/bundled with this thin magazine.

The front box were the one above (way up there). And the back cover is actually this.

Opening it.

Yes, it's a small box inside a box. That's where the dakimakura and nendoroid petite is.

The dakimakura of Tenshi (damn vivid colors). Maybe I should custom make one to fit this *uhuk~

No, sorry, I'm not able to open this at work coz my office is filled with busy body. LOL.

And last but not least, the nendoroid petite.

Waw, most of the time they'd have the detachable version instead of detached ones, isn't it? Or I must be dreaming? Took it out of the plastic and detach the whole thing.

Detaching the lower body part seems a bit tedious. There were plastic on it so I had to take it off. Putting it on back is also tedious. I must be sweating a lot not being able to fix it properly.

And...uh oh! Her hand (from the wrist) is detachable too. OMG! Does this mean I could hmmm. Lets keep that thought to myself first.

The base, the usual nendoroid petite base and stand.

And finally the figure ;)

Oh gawd, looking from this view, ehem~ see what I mean about the lower body part. I ain't fixing it right yet. LOL. I'm sorry. I was excited to review it ;) Gonna pair her with my other petites when I get back hehe.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post. As much as I enjoy playing with it. Can't wait till the other characters to come out! Gotta get em all!

Review: Ritsu Tainaka Nendoroid

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 12:22:00 +0000

I've mentioned in my previous post about going through a totally stressful process in getting her (imagine camping at japanese sites), related post, here.

I received her a week ago but only manage to take her out from the box. I was bz the whole of last week that I'm too exhausted to even blog.

Now I have a total of three (3) characters from K-ON. I haven't get into Yui and Mio yet. I had those since January and took some photos but yet to blog about it.

Back to Ritsu.

Here's the front and back box cover.

Opening the box. No funky smell. Unless you get the box closer to your nose.

Took it out of the box.

Whoa, so much plastic in there.

Take everything out and put it on the table.

As you can see, there's the usual three (3) facial expression, the drum set, the lower body (sitting, for the drums), extra hair without hairband, hand joints, arm joints and head bump. The stand looks exactly like Mio's.

Factory default, before I start detaching it with other facial expression and hand joints.

Detaching the hair from the face.

Look! For the back hair, you can see got metal thing? That's a magnet btw.

It's for the head bump, like this.

Oh yeah before we proceed, she's wearing hipster. You guys should see Mio's, stripey~

I was taking this photo and thought of something. I brought her outside and took this.

Ritsu: "Why? Why no rain?!"

I only took one coz the dogs were bugging me #_#

Anyways, here's what I took in my room with the head bump.

Two (2) different hair styles.

I follow these pose from the box.

And that's about it. Out of those three (3) characters that I have from K-ON, I seem to have some kinda attachment towards Ritsu. I don't know, I took Mio and Yui to play before, but it wasn't as satisfying. Or maybe I wanted to wait till I got the complete set? Hmm, I did this post coz someone was rushing me to do it. But only manage to do it today. When I'm FREE!!!

Here are some of the photos I took of her with Mio and Yui. I just gotta do it.

Come to think of it. None of my nendoroid have a microphone. Wait, right? I want a microphone. I even wanted to make them play with Megurine Luka but somehow I got a little lazy unboxing.

Next part, was testing their facial expression and joints with each other. Surprisingly it fits to each nicely. Except Ritsu's hand joint to Mio's body. It's too loose. But I manage to hold it up ;)

Somehow I enjoy putting em together like this ;)

My favorite pose for Mio.

Add it with my DIY pillow.

Hope you guys enjoyed reading / browsing through the photos.

Can't wait till Mugi and Azusa release.

Review: Marisa Kirisame Nendoroid

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 08:58:00 +0000

I've been thinking so much lately about this. I wanted to get all the Touhou Project Nendoroid if I could but, it's too far to reach. *cries. That being said, I'd like to thank Animetsu for making Marisa Nendoroid as my first exclusive nendoroid. I got her at a very good price. My next would be Sanae. I couldn't get Reimu and Sakuya yet *sigh.

This came together with Nendoroid Chiaki and Luka. Refer to my previous post, here.

On another note, I'm happy to say that the Nendoroid Ritsu I've ordered from AmiAmi is reaching soon. It got off KL on Saturday, so I'll be receiving it on Monday. I hope. And it's gewd to know that I manage to get one for Pjal via HLJ. Thank gawd they restocked.

Anyways, lets get back to Marisa Nendo shall we?

The front and back box.

So far so gewd, now opening the box.

Gewd, no weird smell.

Taking it out from the box.

Laying it on the table.

I even detach the body parts.

As you can see, there's only two (2) facial expression here.

This is one of those things I gotta do.

Drawers!!! Is seriously cute. Compared to the usual hipster. *sweat.

Factory default.

I somehow could imagine something with this. Hmm, must find time to make diorama.

Witch hat, most probably can fit any nendoroid's head. Oh yeah, notice there's some shade of pink on the white ribbon. It's not photoshop. It's naturally like that. I think if it were entirely white, you can't see the detailing.

Back view of the figure.

The back ribbon is detachable.

Broomstick.

You can change the hand joints. Some with holes to hold different items.

When I was gonna change to the other expression. I notice this on her hair.

Last but not least, my favorite expression. :D

Every nendoroid characters are unique in their own way, no less in this one. I love em dearly ;) I just hope I could collect every single one of them. Especially the ones from this series. Unfortunately, I'm not that rich *cries.

Sorry if this post sound less interesting than my other post. The heat melted my brain.

The troubles in getting Nendoroid Ritsu Tainaka of K-ON

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:14:00 +0000

Getting her is not as easy as getting the other characters via pre-order.

They released this last February 2010 and since the whole licensing issue which affected my order with local sellers (a lot of local orders were canceled), I've been monitoring every possible website that re-opens this for order but it keeps disappointing me.

So, two (2) days ago, miraculously it was open for order at Hobby Search. The things I have to go through to get my brother to go home just to order for me to found out that it's sold out. I was partially depressed and decided to give up on it till that night, Pjal called me and informed me that the orders are open at AmiAmi.

Mind you, I was busy preparing dinner at that time that I dropped everything and went on making my order with my dad's laptop. I'd made separate orders for myself and Pjal and mind you, I got the confirmation the next day and made my payment for both with different shipping address. And the stock for Nendoroid Ritsu Tainaka went down till it's sold out in less than 30 minutes. It was crazy!!!

I'm guessing it would work since it worked the last time I made these kind of purchase.

But I guess it was too early to be excited when I receive an email this morning as follows:

Thank you for ordering with AmiAmi.

This mail is to inform you that your order 4711822 has been canceled for exceeding the purchase limit:
[Nendoroid K-On! Ritsu Tainaka]

If you have any questions, or concerns, please feel free to contact us here.

But I paid it yesterday already. So what happens now? *sigh.

This is the suckiest thing EVER! I hope this matter resolve soon.

Either Option 1: A refund or Option 2: Proceed with the order *sigh. I pray hard that it's option 2. At least it's easier. Going through refund phase is just too troublesome. *sigh.

Let us pray for a miracle.

An update: Option 1 it is. I got my refund already *sigh. Sorry Pjal.

Review: Megurine Luka Nendoroid

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:29:00 +0000

I actually did a review post for animetsu last nite and posted it this morning, click here. So I thought, maybe I should just rewrite the whole thing for my blog post. Now I'm not sure anymore. Or maybe this whole thing is caused by exhaustion? I'm exhausted. I think more rest. I think one of the reason is the fact that my mum told me there was a snake in my brother's bathroom *sigh. I couldn't sleep because of that! RAWR!

Anyways, back to this character. This came together with Minami Chiaki Nendoroid (just in case you missed out on this post, click here). Took me awhile to blog about it coz I was sick or too bz with other stuff.

Here's the front and back cover of the box. I wonder why there's no sticker on these.

Opening the box. Now this part, see how "busted" it looked? I swear the postal service put some heavy shite on my box. At least it's not as bad as what happened to my Minami Chiaki Nendoroid box.

Letting the air out. No strong smell. This is good.

Took it out.

Laid out on the table.

It's your usual 3 facial expression. I love her expression. There's some hand and leg joints that comes with it. The usual stand and Tako Luka!!!!

The stand. Pretty common.

Detaching the default character.

Hair also can detach.

Pantsu.

She doesn't stand well without her skirt. I mean on the base/stand.

Love her expression. I'm gonna spend some free time taking photo of her with Al-Azif with singing expression. Soon!

Actually, those are the only shots of her I took. Coz, I got so distracted by how cute Tako Luka is.

Look at that cuteness.

This got me excited. OMG, does this mean I could fit it onto nendoroid petite body?

Before we get to that, lets detach it.

To my disappointment. The face/head doesn't fit to any of my other nendoroid petite characters. *sigh. Heck! Out of 5 that I took out, none of em fit any of the other ones *cries.

Look at that size. I think the left one belongs to Nagato Yuki Petite and the right one is Tako Luka's face.

See, even face up or down, you can see lotsa difference in size.

But, at least kurimu gym uniform fits to Luka. MWAHAHHAHAHA.

Last but not least, I just gotta do this.

Coz it's super cute! Erm, too bad nyoron's head can't put on anybody's head. Her head can't stand on it's own. Hehe.

This is definitely an exciting collection regardless it being a vocaloid character. Which in any case, I don't collect any, this happens to be the first? Oh wait, does handphone charms count?

Nendoroid Ein

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 06:18:00 +0000

Somebody can't wait for my post. *whistle. Anyways, this post is dedicated to KC XP

Hmm, believe it or not, I have zero knowledge of this character. I got it coz of the mask LOL. I know I sound so sick rite? Anyways, here's some info. I got over the net.

Plot Summary: A spate of mafia assasinations occurs in America, the work of the mysterious organization named Inferno. "Phantom" is their most strongest and capable assassin, however a lone tourist witnesses Phantom's latest act of murder. He unwittingly exposes the top assassin's true identity, a young girl named Ein. Witnesses are usually killed, but the man is captured and taken to be brainwashed into "Zwei", Inferno's newest assassin, with no memory of who he is. From this point on, Zwei is drawn into a world of conspiracy, deceit and violence.

Anyways, here's a trailer for Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom.

OMG! Ein in maido. I wonder if they gonna have that. Or maybe I should do a mix and match *giggles.

Lets skip all that whole details thing and proceed with the figure shall we?

The box front and back cover. I realize that the new nendoroid boxes doesn't have the sticker. Or maybe I miss it out cause it's normally very small. Weirdness.

Gewd thing my Ein is in superb condition ;3

Opening the box. Let the air out. Smell of PVC XD

Taking it out from the box.

Laid out on the table.

There sure a lot of hand joints.

The base stand.

Look, she wear blue boxers.

With the teddy bear.

I love pistol and knife! XD

Here's some shot with danbo.

Other weapon.

Holding pistol with support hand. Two of the hand are detachable from the arm.

Promoting Fujifilm ;) Sorry, wrong face for this LOL.

And photos with Sebastian Michaelis ;)

Ein: "Return my teddy or I'll shoot you".

Sebastian: "I'm gonna rip this teddy into pieces".

Overall, what got on my nerves was trying to make her stand properly. She keeps on falling everytime I put her on the stand. Soon I realize, I was putting her the wrong way. She stands nicely actually. Some of the arm joints looks weird but I get why it was that way when I attached it. The best part, you could hold Sebastian's cat vice versa to Sebastian holding the teddy bear.

Hmm, now, I wanna try to put her with maid outfit. Summon Kagami Kuro XD

Minami Chiaki Nendoroid

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 18:08:00 +0000

I first watch the anime in 2007. So, I thought this anime is somewhat interesting. I love the characters but not much on the storyline. I mean I can't remember the storyline better than the characters.

For those who never watch this, maybe should watch. It's a story about Minami Family, which consist of three (3) siblings, Haruka, Kana and Chiaki. If I remember correctly, the eldest sis, Haruka is very sweet and she plays a role like a monther while the second sis, Kana is retarded LOL. I'm sorry, there's no other way to describe her. In other words, she's an airhead. While Chiaki is the smart "I can't handle dumb people" kind of character.

Here's the Opening theme to get you started ;)

Anyways, I wasn't planning to talk more about the anime which everyone would probably already know, I'm gonna talk about Nendoroid Minami Chiaki that I just received from animetsu today.

This was pre-ordered last August and was released in January of this year. Pretty long time ago right?

Aight lets start with the box. Apart from the torn (*cries) box, a token of love from Pos Laju, the figure seems to be in good condition. Here's the front and back view of the box. Please ignore that torn box part. *sigh. I feel depress from looking at it. But I fixed it with a lil help from sellotape. ;) Oh and ignore the scissor hahahah, that's the closest scissor that I can find at that moment.

Open the box.

From that whole *Pos Laju treated my package like punching bag*, when going through this phase (of opening the box), most of the parts felt like ham choi. You know like those folded box that doesn't go back to it's normal condition? Yeah that were the case for the top part of my box.

Now the content.

Laid out on the table.

Your typical 1 body and 3 facial expression. Pretty normal.

Next is the stand.

For nendoroid.

And for the bear.

Doesn't this look like nendoroid petite's stand? Yeap it's exactly the same.

Aight before I get to the Chiaki and her expression. Lets look at her bear.

Another similarities with the nendoroid petite.

This is so cute. Btw, the head and hand is detachable. Unfortunately, the leg are not. Detaching head.

At this moment. *_* I is has a bright idea ;3

Lemme present to you *drum rolls.

Aren't these insanely cute? I'm sorry, I had to. My hands were itching to switch their heads hehe.

Ogie sorry, I lied, last photo of them? Maybe ;)

Now lets get on to Chiaki. The three (3) different facial expression.

Side view with school bag.

Detachable hair.

Remember the hole on the middle of the head. Remove the hair for the hat. Looks like this.

Last but not least.

Chiaki: "Yuki!!! Return the bear outfit come on!".

Yuki: *runs~

Overall, I so love this nendoroid. I personally love her character in the anime and the bear? It's like having an extra nendoroid petite to play with. Well apart of course, the torn bit from the box *sigh. This is a great nendoroid figure to add to your collection. Hmm, I wonder if they gonna make the sisters hehe~

I hope you enjoy reading this post ;)

Till my next post. I have like 5-6 nendoroid to write about. Who should I write about next?

Feb 2010 New Arrival

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:54:00 +0000

These came in today.

Look inside? Bubble wrapped.

What left me puzzled is, how could the nendoroid's boxes in the big box get slightly torn *sigh.

This is the saddest thing that has happened to me. I mean this is the first time my figure box got torn, it's depressing looking at it.

These are my new items. It's gonna take awhile to review all of em.

Review: Dengeki Bunko magazine March 2010 Edition Vol.12 Nii-Ten-Go limited Ver. Serenia Appendix (Magazine)

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 05:07:00 +0000

The thing about ordering items for yourself is, you'll have to be the one to handle any matters that comes after the purchase. In this case, since my order was sent out before the chinese new year holiday, it reaches KL before the holiday and was sent out to destination the following working day. Which in this case, reach my location after the holidays, which fall on Wednesday (yesterday). I checked my package status via Japan EMS site and found out it was at KL but decided to call KLIA mail centre just in case.

Found out that it was already sent out to my location and I was anxiously waiting for the posman to send it to me. And this is the first time for me to experience this. Being called by the local centre to pick up my package. Gahh~ say wut? I think all their staff is still on holiday till next week since it's another holiday next Friday?

So there I was, at work, after the call, went to Pos Laju centre for the pick up. My mistake for going out around lunch hour. Thank gawd traffic weren't that bad. Reach there, I notice there were a lot of undelivered package and even though there weren't much people queuing up the line, most of them are picking up their package cause the mail centre had called them to pick it up themselves? I know everyone deserves a holiday but are they understaffed? Why can't they get it sent out efficiently? I wonder if courier service works that way too. *sigh.

Went back to the office after the pick up and start unboxing.

But before that, I notice that my box was opened by Local Custom. Not sure why yet but.

The content. Two of these. One is mine and another one belongs to Pjal.

The contents:

Consist of magazine, big poster and figure.

Lets start with the magazine.

Magazine cover.

So we found the reason why the box was open for checking in the first place ei?

No nekkid scenes there. Sorry to disappoint you custom people *uhuk~

Some sample pages. There's a total of less than 400 pages for this magazine. I think. And it's in japanese. Other than that, it's filled with color pages and some text pages (which I can't read).

I think there's pages about Shakugan no Shana too, but I'm unable to translate *cries.

And now the poster that comes with this set. Measuring at 594 x 841mm. Big poster. Heck! It's bigger than my roxy poster. Geh~ It was folder into small postcard size.

Now the best part of all. The figure that comes with it.

The box. Front and back, details.

This figure is from chara-ani. Not Good Smile Company. Surprisingly I couldn't find the proper information about it in myfigurecollection.net. It's roughly the same height as a nendoroid petite, which is around 5-7cm more or less.

Take out parts from plastic.

What's detachable?

Actually the skirt is detachable from the legs too.

You need not to worry about fixing the drill like hair back cause it's labeled.

The ribbon.

The base have two holes on it. For the legs. Not fond of looking at the legs. Doesn't look pretty. Why can't it be hanging like nendoroid petite?

The neck. Unlike nendoroid petite. But it's movable.

Now it's all fixed.

Notice the brochure behind it? It contains details / image of released figure. Like the one Toradora from toyworks.

Pantsu very lacey lulz~

And last but not least, a shot of comparison with nendoroid petite. In this case, I use nyoron~

It's even taller than my camera cover. Hehe~

Overall it was interesting, not as satisfying but interesting. I mean with doing a comparison, the overall painting wasn't as great but it's acceptable. And it's a cute figure too. Oh yeah notice the face size?

More details about this magazine, Dengeki Bunko official website.

Hope you enjoy this read. I know I enjoyed taking photos and reviewing it. Till the next figure.

SEGA Game Prize Nyoron set of 4

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 16:51:00 +0000

As you can see, I sort of screwed up my current layout coz was trying to change to a new layout the other day but am still not satisfied with the choice. Talking about back to basics and being uninspired to design is not farnie.

But we're not gonna get into that in details coz this post is dedicated to the above mentioned PVC figures. I can't remember when I made this order but it was months ago till it was released last January. I think it was release for quite awhile now but only got it shipped this week coz Pinky Street new series got delayed till March 2010. Oh yeah, and thanks for EMS 50% shipping! Definitely save a lot. But that only happens for the month of February. Heh~

Anyways, another trip to my dad's office yesterday to pick up my package. Hmm, I can't seem to change my address unless I inform them earlier? Or when making my order? No idea. They seem to have skip that part.

Here's my package. Small box only.

It took 4 days via EMS. Awesome! I was still at my dad's office parking area that time. Couldn't wait till I get home, I open the box in my car hahahahha.

What's inside?

Oh yeah, those cute Happy Tree Friends keychains aren't mine. I wish it's mine. Should have ordered some for myself but out of stock already. *sigh.

Out from the plastic.

Behind the box.

Instructions to fix the stand.

Take off from box.

There were a lot of tapes. And what I notice is the alphabet at the side (shown below).

I'm not sure if you guys can see it clearly. Near my thumb.

Content for each of the nyoron figure are the same, which is the figure itself, the base and the stick for it to stand. But I think you don't really need the transparent looking stick coz it can stand by itself with the hole for the leg on the base.

I'm gonna make a sample for 1. I pick maido ;)

Paint error? *points at hair.

What is attachable and detachable?

The head and body only. Everything else can't move or be detach.

The base.

Line up all 4.

Four (4) expressions and pose.

It works with GSC nyoron petite. I mean the head with the body.

Some size measurement comparison?

Overall I think it's okay, except SEGA version of nyoron looks tanned. @_@"""

So yeah, that's pretty much it.

Review: Kagami Kuro Nendoroid

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 10:54:00 +0000

Talking about delayed post huh (I had it 9 days go)? I finally got time to open the box and play with it.

Anyways, I'm gonna skip the whole story about what Kodomo no Jikan is all about and get straight to the figure itself. Besides, you could read it up from neko magic or Good Smile Company about this figure.

Official japanese website: http://www.kojika-anime.com/ .

Just like the other nendoroid, except some I bought after the release, this particular nendoroid was open for pre-order last August 2009 and released in December. It was suppose to release on November but was delayed. I'm guessing it got something to do with mass producing of nendoroids. I feel so broke it's not farnie.

I never regret getting this figure. Just like my other nendoroids except Sebastian Michaelis and Nozumo Itoshiki, I got this from Animetsu. Unfortunately, it's out of stock, maybe whoever wants this can outsource to any local store or online shops?

Okay enough of that, lets proceed to what's sweet about owning a Kagami Kuro nendoroid shall we?

First of all, I gotta say that I never watch the anime prior purchasing this figure, I just thought she's cute with those big cat ears ;3 I love.

Anyways, front and back box.

Opening the box.

Thank gawd, no weird glue smell, it smells normal YATTA!

Take it out.

All laid out on the table.

So far so gewd. No major defects. Just some tiny scratch and minor bad paint, no biggie.

Like for instance this part of the ear. See, the scratch doesn't look that visible rite?

Some other parts.

The stand is normal and round. The leg holder, hmm what's that extra thing?

Holding Kuro.

What a cutie ;3

You have the cat ear set and the ribbon. Both are cute!

She even look cute without the fringe. Hehe~

Flippable cellphone. Kewlness!

Her back view.

How to remove her tail?

Her bag. I mean if you put on her head. Her hair covers most of the bag which only viewable from side.

Back hair view.

This has gotta be my favorite expression. Too bad I dun have a chair to seat her. Oh wait, I do, I'll take photo of it next time.

Distracted *uhuk~

And this one for Pjal XD

Bad paint on yuki's leg and the arm part a bit weird.

"Ring Ring, Hello?"

Overall it's very satisfying and since I've ordered Usa Mimi, I'm thinking how and where I'm gonna get Rin to complete em. *thinks.

I so totally love this one.

Churuya-san meets Churuya-san petite ;3

noreply@blogger.com (Mas Light) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 14:57:00 +0000

Somehow I lost my memory when it comes to remembering when I ordered her but I swear it was after nendoroid Mio. I somehow didn't list down the dates when I pre-ordered her from animetsu. But I know that it's around after August of last year? And after the long wait, she came home to me. I though had to pick her up at my dad's office. And it's been pouring all day today.

Well since I requested Jason to hold on to my Mio nendoroid till the other nendoroids arrived, I get four (4) nendoroids home today. So happy. Was confused when he gave me two (2) tracking number at first though. I get it now hehe :)

Oh and this is new.

Pos Laju Pack. Somehow this looked so kewl. Please ignore that part.

What else is new?

Animetsu sticker and stamp WOOT?!

Ehem, I wonder if Jason gets tired of writing addresses XD maybe should print it? *giggles.

Back to the boxes. Lets open the smaller box first.

Newspaper? Bubble wraps?

*ignores nyoron. *high, plays with bubble wrap. Pops em bubble wrap.

*roll eyes to the bigger box. Maybe got more bubble wrap.

*Opens box.

Hmm, the usual stuff. What?!!?! No bubble wrap?

But got what?

TADA!

Mio, Kagami Kuro and Yui. We'll talk about them next time ogie?

Oh behind the invoice. T&C. Ahah! I saw touhou character there ;)

All combined?

Ogie, since nyoron was first. I'll talk about her first.

Front and back view of the box.

Side view.

Authenticity. Shiney sticker.

Lets open the box.

OMG! What is that smell? It smells like paint tinner. Left it for awhile.

WARNING: excessive sniffing might cause nausea. (LOL kidding).

There were nine (9) points in total. Wuah so many. Normally there's only five (5) or so. Hmm, how odd, one of it seems to have glue on it.

Mass production cause defects? Iono @_@

The parts.

More parts.

The base/stand looks decent. Didn't they usually put it in a plastic? It doesn't seem to be in this one.

Hmm this is pretty common rite?

Erm, paint defect on hair? ;-\

Oh yeah, notice there's two (2) ribbons? I was wondering too.

I later found out that it's not a replacement if you lost the one of it. But it's for the sitting pose.

Notice how easy it is to fix it?

Some hand parts.

Churuya-san and churuya-san petite parts.

Aight now some random photos.

They spotted cheese.

How to share this?

It's mine!!!

Er wrong utensils. You come near I slash you.

Drool drool drool~

Ogielah give up.

What are you doing?

Lets do it together!

Sorry I had to, look at the pantsu difference.

Same height liao. YATTA! Almost.

- THE END -

Oh yeah, here's what I think of the nendoroid nyoron. Hmm.

First, was confused about the skirt. Why issit soft? Iono. Then, the parts are a bit loose. Weird, I got used to the tight kind of parts. Actually it's gewd that it's easy to take off, just need some time to get use to. Hair difference between those two (2) is obvious. The nendoroid have a darker hair. Everyone knows that. Petite still look cuter. I love the hands got holes, can hold stick like items.

So yeah, pretty much it. Overall it's just nice to have it as my collection. We'll see how the others will do ei?

Now I have eight (8) nendoroid.
