My first Nendoroid of the year is Chiaki Minami, from the Minami-ke series, which to date spans over three full seasons and an OVA, all of which I enjoyed. I had pre-ordered her immediately after seeing her at Hobby Search, and I’m quite glad I did. She sold out before she was released [...]

She arrived on the 26th, a huge brown box delivered to my door. I signed my name, took the box and opened it. It took me a few minutes to just admire the box and realize that Black★Rock Shooter, who I intended on buying for my birthday present back on the 11th of [...]

Recently my first Nendoroid Petit set arrived, the Vocaloid Series #01 by GoodSmile Company. I had pre-ordered from Hobby Search for 5,700 yen or around $65.86. I didn’t think the price was so bad until the shipment notice came. EMS shipping is starting to get too expensive, but this was something I [...]

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 [...]

Today an onslaught of small to large thunderstorms came through our town. They each lasted around a half hour or so with about a half hour break in between them and lasted until just a while ago. During the worst part of the storm we had some rather large hail. I had [...]

So in my last haul I finally acquired the Nendoroid Melissa Seraphy by GoodSmile Company. I was browsing through DannyChoo.com and happened across a classified ad for her. I wasn’t planning on buying any more figures this month because I have more pre-orders on their way, but when I saw her available for [...]

I realize I’ve been slacking on posting lately, but I have a few posts in the process right now. I would have done something else today, but I woke up to the mailman knocking on the door. Four packages arrived today, I got my 3 Black Rock Shooter shirts, 2 Black Rock Shooter [...]

Golden Darkness, a.k.a. Konjiki no Yami, or just plain Yami like most people would call her, comes from the manga/anime To Love-Ru. She’s known as the deadliest assassin in the universe, and her entire body can transform into weapons at will. This figure was made to go along with the GoodSmile Company 1/8 [...]

Recently I acquired this older figure (originally released May of 2006) from Ebay, probably the worst place to buy figures in the entire world. The price, location of seller and 100% positive feedback was what convinced me to buy. The seller lived in the same state as me and free shipping. I [...]

Pixy Hiyori comes from the eroge Chu x Chu Idol: The Idol is a Vampire!?(NSFW link). I’ve played a little bit of the game a while back when I first heard about the figures from it, though it hasn’t been translated into English. In case you didn’t notice in the title, I’m [...]
