Well, it was just another day of figure shopping today. And, here are the cuties for today above. As you can see, the cuties consist of a "normal" figure and a few Nendoroids. I was also very lucky today as NonNo21's website listed Sengoku Nadeko as being sold out. I really wanted her after reading a recent review of her. She's such a sweet little cutie.

Unfortunately, I also went a bit overboard with all my shopping the past few weekends and have now already spent July's (What!) budget for figures and Dollfie stuff, etc. So, what else is new? Anyways, there won't be anything new posted until August at the earliest. If there is, though, you can have me committed!

Plus, I have now exceeded the maximum capacity of my figure storage box and am wondering how I am going to move everything when the time comes to move. I guess I will need another box by that time. Although, the trip back to Canada one day will be very expensive with all the boxes of stuff. And, of course, any trip back to another country to work will also be very expensive yet again as I have no place to store any of my things back in Canada. How did I get myself into such a mess! I guess it's called LIFE!

I need to stay away from NonNo21 and Volks.

For the rest of the pix, please see my blog post here (text is the same ,tho):

Wow.. Comic World looks like a great time. I also didn't expect it to be that big so I'm impressed. I wish I could have gone too ^_^

Great pictures, I enjoyed looking through all of them on figure.fm

Regardless of the type of figure, I really, really like the minimalism of the whole place.

cgvisionary, I'll post pictures of the figure you send me sometime this week, promise ^^;; Been pretty busy lately; in fact, my whole April shipment is still unopened T_T

Nonno21 just announced a photo contest! http://www.nonno21.com/shop/board/view.php?&id=new&no=821 I've got nothing to lose by entering, so if you guys could do me a favour would you pick out the 2 photos from my nendoroid based stuff to enter with. I have no idea which ones are the nicest!

I was thinking of using two photos from this post specifically; http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=8588659

'I did not have the opportunity to take their pix because my hands were full by that time with a certain someone's, who shall remain nameless at this point, stuff. LOL.'

*Whistles innocently.* Thanks for putting up with my psychotic road-rage when it came to finding Kuroshitsuji/Vocaloid/Oreimo and BRS merchandise to buy >.> It was such a great day.

I finally got to have a quick look to my April haul :D



I had to wait until after Golden Week to get my package shipped, so it was delayed quite a bite. Perfect timing, though, as I went to the mail office to pick my package there was a little bonus as well!

Huge box too ^^;;



So here they are. On top we have Nendoroid Kuroneko (one is for a friend), Nendoroid Haru-chan, Nendoroid Black Gold Saw, Nendoroid Kyon, and figma Senjouhagara Hitagi. On bottom we have Alter Kazari Uiharu, Alter Dizzy, GSC Shuraki series Char Rhousemann, GSC Death Master animation ver., and Alter Yuri from Angel Beats.

Dizzy and Death Master are just amazing. Dizzy is easily a top candidate for figure of the year, and reinforces why I consider Alter to be the top dog in scale figures. I am a fan of the Black Rock Shooter franchise, but I think that Death Master is the character with the better figures. There is just something about her stare. Uiharu and Yuri are nice extras to the shipment. I did not intend to order Uiharu, but the cuteness got to me when she got re-released, plus Saten is coming in the May package. As a fan of Key's and GSC's works, Yuri was an easy pick.

Last but not least, Char Rhousemann.


Picture by cgvisionary.

She is the third release of the Shuraki series, a multimedia project launched by Good Smile Company in collaboration with RED entertainment. This is similar to Alter's Hyakka Ryorian and Megahouse Queen's Blade, where you get figures released together with drama CDs, light novels, and other merchandize.

Back then, I didn't care much for the series. Everything changed when the fourth release, Needa, was announced, which is arguably the best executed Shunya Yamashita figure. After getting Needa, I tried to complete the series, but Char was never re-released. She has been available in auctions, but not always the best deal.

When cgvisionary and NeverGG posted pictures of Nonno21's store, I saw Char was in one of the pictures. cgvisionary answered my call for help, and thanks to him, three years after Char's release, I am finally able to complete my Shuraki collection.

Once again, thank you very much! :D

I honestly felt some claustrophobia watching that. Can you even stretch without knocking down 30 things? Amazing.
