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
Happy Halloween from Raspberyl Seraphy!

I know I’ve been away from this blog for over a month now, for various reasons, but it’s time for me to get this back up and running and what better way then to celebrate one of me favorite holidays! I recently acquired nendoroid Raspberyl and while we were carving a pumpkin I decided to get Melissa Seraphy, Pixie Hiyori and a couple others to make guest appearances. I’ll be doing the actual review of Raspberyl soon. Since last year I didn’t do a post for Halloween I wasn’t going to let it slip by unnoticed again this year! Of course, this post is a bit late seeing as it’s nearing November first as I write this, but what can I say we took our son out trick-or-treating and haven’t gotten home until just a bit ago. Anyways I’m not going to write a big wall of text or a story but instead share the pictures I took today. Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween! Read More
Fewture Models Chii by Art Storm|Lilics
Posted by Persocom on Feb 15, 2009 in Figures | 5 comments
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
Back To The Future
Posted by Persocom on Sep 7, 2008 in Misc | 12 comments
First off I’d like to apologize for the lack of blog posts. It’s been just over a week since I made one and this is my first one of the month. I really don’t have much of an excuse. I have plenty of ideas for posts, but I didn’t want to just throw in filler, and I haven’t had batteries for my camera until yesterday. I’ve been watching a fairly heavy amount of anime for the last week. Also, I’ve been trying to free up computer space and back-up all the things I have saved on it, burning data discs and what not. Anyways I’ll have plenty to post about this month, and I stocked up on batteries now so expect me to get back to things. I’ll probably be changing my banner soon just for fun, and I’ve also been looking into other blog sites/hosts with the possibility of moving my blog elsewhere. Alright enough of me though, here’s a recent order that came in last week, the only thing missing here is my wife’s xxxHolic bag with Yuuko on it, I’m sure she’ll blog about it soon enough. Speaking of xxxHolic, I really want to get the next few volumes of the manga. I’ll wait for now though, money is going to be tight with all the orders already made and the fact that I need to go to the dentist in a couple days.
Mokona Modoki plush from xxxHolic and double-sided Chii pillow from Chobits, both bought at a store here in the states online called Toycup. Lately I’ve been buying things from the states less and less and strictly sticking with shops overseas because of the slow speed and terrible customer service of most of the stores over here. But Toycup took 3 days (not including Labor Day and Sunday) to get these to me along with my wife’s bag, so I have to mention them here. They don’t carry a really huge selection compared to other stores but they’re worth checking out if you live in the U.S. Read More
