This Miku figure by GSC originally came out back in November, but it wasn’t released in North America until much later which is why it took so long for me to get it. I normally would have ordered it from Japan but all of the preorders were already full so I ended up ordering her from the States.
Rin and Len Kagamine are the two latest additions to my figure collection. Pretty soon I’m going to have more nendoroids than regular figures.
As many of you already know, Rin and Len are twins from the Vocaloid series, a program that you can use to create anime-like music. (more…)
A couple days ago I got my Sakura Nankyoku nendoroid in the mail. I had actually forgotten that I had ordered this figure since I placed the preorder for it last summer which was quite a while ago. Sakura Nankyoku a.k.a. Penguin or Pen-chan for short is from the anime Penguin Musume Heart (Penguin Girl Heart), a pretty good comedy to watch if you have time. (more…)
Well after one hectic week, I have time to write on my blog now (yay!).
As you can see from the above picture, my Shana Nendoroid came this week. I would’ve liked to have the regular Shana version with black hair too, but apparently that’s like some limited edition figure so I couldn’t just order it online :( (more…)
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…)
I got my Melissa Nendoroid on Monday, but I didn’t get around to taking pictures until today.
I was actually quite impressed with this figure. The only other nendoroids I have are Light, L, and Misa from Death Note and they aren’t as detailed as Melissa. It also looks like Good Smile Company has improved their nendoroids since the Death Note ones. If any of you have some of the first nendoroids made, you’ll know that they fall over a LOT and the stand doesn’t help. Melissa’s head is actually lighter than my other nendoroids and her stands actually hold her up. The first stand has two holes for her legs and basically holds up the pumpkin. (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, 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:
