The mail carrier person brought me another girl today. WooHoo! I got her brand new from one of the members at figure.fm. She ordered two of them by mistake. The internet is a dangerous place!
This is Azusa Nakano, better known as Azu-nyan. She completes my collection of Nendoroid type K-On! figures. I also have the full K-On! set in Figma already. So, it's on to the next figure type series for K-On!
Now, I wonder what that could be?

Hahaha Moko you glutton!! I added a couple of new sisters to my own collection tonight, but they're a secret until Saturday. (The awesome thing was that I got them in perfect condition secondhand and cheap from Nonno21.) I also got a free chibi Mio (K-On!!) phone-strap as service.

Moko looks in your direction and sticks her tongue out at you!
Congrats! Kirino? DM? Can't wait to see who you got.

I couldn't afford Kirino, but I put a hold on her until payday :D It was kind of inevitable. Actually, I ended up getting two completely unexpected nendoroids ^_^ There was more that I wanted, but I had to stick to my budget. Oh, and Nonno21 got the type of case I need for my puchis! I hope it's still there a week on Friday.

Kirino is expensive at NonNo21. She's only Y10,000 new at Mandarake + shipping (about Y1400?). I can order her for you if you want. 
There are now soooo many Nendo's that I want that I cannot get afford them all! LOL Plus, moving will be a problem in September. The friend I was going to leave my stuff with is also going home after her contract expires. 
Looking forward to see your new Nendo's. 
A member at figure.fm has some nice Nendo cases, too: http://www.figure.fm/post/en/27956/Nendoroid display case NO 3 1 5 years nendor loot.html
Update: They only have this one left as of this am: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-566609.html
The regular ones where there for the longest time, though! Almost got one myself.

Hey guys,
A friend of mine posted a blog entry asking for input on running a Japanese figures panel in anime convention. Things like what topics you'd be interested on, panel format, visual aids, etc.
This being the figure maniacs thread, I think your input would be useful. Also, his blog is a very good read on anime in general, I think you'll find it interesting.

I think it'd be really interesting to see some part of a panel that covered how to identify fake figures, as well as the culture surrounding production of these fakes. As for visual aids - well examples of a range of figures would be a nice start (scale, nendoroid, gashapons, related items like plushes.)
Also maybe an informative, visually appealing PPT (even just some kind of artistic background if a projector and computers aren't available.) Anything to stimulate people's senses. Other topics which would interest me personally would be;
~ Studies of the different demographics of figure collectors, their personal motivations, and why figure collecting holds such an appeal to certain people. ~ How figures are designed and made. Things like Mikatan's factory tour posts would be great to give people an insight into how figures are produced. ~ Ways in which the figure maniacing community can expand and attract new buyers/fans.
If it's an anime con then it's more likely to be popular if he focuses on the relationship between currently popular series/characters and their figure-based merchandise. It needs to be accessible without being patronizing, and to offer something to both newbies and veteran collectors. Also if there's time/a budget then maybe some kind of in-built competition would be nice. Especially, if it required a level of creativity such as people designing their own figures or coming up with a name for an existing figure.
