Four months after I placed my order, I went to the post office yesterday to finally get my Miku Hatsune nendoroid.
I missed the first release of this figure, so when I found out that there was a second batch coming, I pre-ordered right away, hence the long wait. (more…)
Well, since I decided not to get the Pixie Hiyori figure by Good Smile Company, to make up for it I decided to get a Melissa Seraphy Nendoroid. As you can see, she also carries around a cute little pumpkin. I think it’s the perfect figure to get since Halloween is just several weeks away. (more…)
Those of you who are really into figures will probably have already seen this 1/8 scale figure of Hiyori Pixie from Chu X Chu Idol by Good Smile Company. She has a retail price of 7200 yen which is roughly ~$70CDN and will be released in January. When I saw this figure the first thing I thought was “I want one”, but then I decided to reconsider. Yes, she looks cute, and yes, there’s a pumpkin on her head, which makes her even more awesome, but there’s something stopping me from buying her. (more…)
Ok, here is the last figure from my figure splurge, Konomi Yuzuhara from To Heart 2. Konomi is now the cutest non-nendoroid figure that I own and poses in a pink swimsuit for everyone to admire :)
To tell you the truth, I got this figure because of the cat. Wanting to buy this figure was also the reason I bought all the other figures that I got last week. One item in the shopping cart just lead to the next and before I knew it I had ordered six figures. That just goes to show how persuasive a cat can be…
Before getting this figure, I didn’t know anything about Tora Dora, which is the manga that Taiga Aisaka is from. I read the first volume a few days ago though, and it has some potential. Will be looking forward to the anime version that will be airing this fall.
Yakitate Japan isn’t one of those anime with much ecchi material, so I guess that’s why Alter decided to make a figure of Tsukino in a swimsuit ^.^
Zero no Tsukaima isn’t exactly one of my favourite anime, but I like tsundere characters like Louise which is why I got this figure.
School Rumble is one of my favourite anime and Eri is one of my favourite characters, so that’s why I bought this figure. I especially like the bikini she’s wearing and her body was sculpted fairly decently.
Ok, I said I would post some pictures of the new figures I got, so here’s the first set. I decided to open my figures by biggest box first and so I’m going to post pictures in that order too. First up is Meifeng Liu; as many other owners of this figure have pointed out, taking off and putting on her clothes is a real pain (that sounds kinda dirty). It took me about an hour to take off her clothes to get the plastic underneath out. I’m not a photographer so don’t expect good pictures, but here’s the first set:
This week I got all the figures that I ordered at the beginning of the month. As you can see, I bought 6 in total. I know that doesn’t sound like much to some people, but I’ve collected 9 figures in 1 year, so getting 6 in a couple weeks is a lot for me.
