Chi In Party Dress (Convention Exclusive)
Posted by Persocom on Apr 10, 2010 in Figure Review | 11 comments
Not long ago I finally took the risk and bought a figure from a random sale at MyFigureCollection. I’m usually not one to buy things from someone I don’t know, as I really don’t like using Ebay often, or doing business with anyone I don’t personally know, but sometimes you just have to take your chances. Luckily I wasn’t ripped off, the figure arrived in good condition, unopened. This version of Chi, (which actually looks more like Freya) is a San Diego Comic Con exclusive released back in 2005. There were only 1,000 of them made. I’ve been hoping to get my hands on this one for quite a long time but never expected to actually get her. This one is number 650. Now, as a figure collector you might want to keep such a thing in it’s box, but I personally can’t stand doing that. So today I present you with another figure review. Read More
Fewture Models Chii by Art Storm|Lilics

Alright, first up from the newly owned figures is the Fewture Models Chii by Art Storm/Lilics. I had been interested in this figure since seeing fellow Team Blue member Lovelyduckie’s review on her, and finally acquired her. If you’re even the least bit interested I suggest you check out her review because it’s great. Chii is from the manga/anime Chobits, whom I’m pretty sure everyone out there has at least heard of. I hold it responsible as the gateway show to my otakudom. Anyways I got this figure used for $35 USD from a figure sale Dancing Queen was having, originally I had thought about buying her but the asking price was a bit high, especially after I got curious about the figure more and re-read Lovelyduckie’s review, and found her still selling at Robert’s Anime Corner Store for about $40. Dancing Queen gladly lowered the price for me, making me unable to resist the buy. So once again thanks to both of my fellow Team Blue members, without them I wouldn’t own this lovely figure. This was one impulse buy I’m glad I made. Read More
Haruhi Happiness

So, I got home from work today from my first job (which I put in my 2 week notice at because I got offered full-time at the other one, more hours, better pay… anway…) and to my surprise I find my son all happy because one of our orders FINALLY got here, after an entire month of waiting for it. First thing my son says when I got home “Mommy, the mailman brought my Chi doll!”:D
I also got my Haruhi wall scroll which looks really really awesome!:D
The last thing I got in the order was my SOS Brigade pin!!

Well just as I was about to post something simple like my desktop or a random picture or video, the mailman came to deliver a package we’ve been waiting for all month. I won’t say the store I bought it from because I probably won’t be buying from them again any time soon. I made the order on the 2nd and it just arrived today, nothing was back-ordered or out of stock either. On top of that the box was broken in half and taped shut, and appropriately marked damaged. Luckily everything inside was o.k. though so nothing to be upset about.
So here’s the contents of this package. 1 Haruhi Suzumiya wall scroll, 1 SOS brigade button, and last, although most important, a 6 inch plush Chi doll for my son, who’s been a Chobits fanatic since uh, well, probably since he was old enough to see a computer screen and watch cartoons. Yeah he’s only 4 years old but he LOVES Chi. He was the one who spotted the mailman pulling up and gasped and ran to the door frantically opening it in excitement. So, I got permission from him to post his picture up here with his new Chi. The wall scroll and button were for my wife, I’m sure she’ll post different pictures today on her blog too.
Now he wants to sit down and watch his favorite anime today. Good thing we got the complete collection lol.
