World Is Mine Miku (Brown Frame Ver.) by GSC

Posted by Riiana Doon on Jun 30, 2010 in Figure Review | 18 comments

Hello to the blogosphere! It’s me, Riiana. I know that I have not posted anything in ages, and that I have been going to do this review for quite some time now. I would also like to thank my husband Persocom for being the cameraman, he takes much better pictures than I do, and we have lots of fun working together on things like this. So you see, he was the cameraman and I was in charge of finding interesting backdrops to pose her on. Here she is, World Is Mine Miku Hatsune, bought at AmiAmi for 7,022 Yen but she is sold out for now. She may be available somewhere else, but as far as my searching has gone, I haven’t been able to find her and was lucky enough to get her here when I did.

Nendoroid Plus: Vocaloid Pull-Back Cars

Posted by Persocom on Apr 5, 2010 in Figure Review | 14 comments

This time around the figure acquisition isn’t my own possession. My son just turned 6 on March 30th, and these were part of his birthday presents. Unfortunately due to sitting in customs for 2 days they didn’t arrive until the day after, but he was very happy to have them even if they were a day late. I got his permission to take pictures of them and he insisted on being in a couple. We had ordered them quite some time ago when we first heard about them and luckily the release date didn’t get pushed back. I decided to keep the order with HobbySearch as they are quite quick about shipping things out and the payment is quicker because I don’t have to wait a day between invoice and payment. They’re still available on HobbySearch as well as other stores, and you can buy them separately or in some places as a full set depending on your tastes. They come at 1,198 Yen each, Miku Hatsune, Luka Megurine, Len Kagamine and Rin Kagamine. Read on for more chibi Vocaloid goodness.

Unused Pictures Batch 1

Posted by Persocom on Feb 17, 2010 in Figures, Misc | 6 comments

So, I thought I’d post something up between figure reviews and what not and do something random. I take a lot of extra pictures when I shoot figures for reviews and many of them never get seen. So today I thought I’d share some of the random pictures I took that just didn’t make it. I know this isn’t my usual type of post, and I’m not sure if I’ll do posts like this very often either, but I thought I’d throw it out there and see what happens. Some pictures are ecchi so consider this a NSFW post just to be safe.

Vocaloid Nendoroid Petit Set #01 by GSC

Posted by Persocom on Nov 30, 2009 in Figures | 19 comments

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 wanted badly so I can deal with it. Final price for arriving in a timely manner at my door: $100 and a few odd cents. Of course the first shipment of the set is sold out, but you can sign up for the waiting list of the second shipment(which is already sold out) if you want to try and get it. Despite the price and the risk of not getting all the figures in one box, I am satisfied with my purchase. Out of 12 boxes and 11 possible figures I managed to get all 11 of them including the special figure, and one extra. Read on for the unboxing and review.

Happy Birthday Miku!

Posted by Persocom on Aug 30, 2009 in Music | 12 comments

Time sure does fly, it’s already the Miku Hatsune’s 2nd birthday (or 18th depending on how you look at it), in Japan at least. Us fans here in the West are a little behind in time. This year I’m just going to post up some of my favorite Miku videos. I know I’ve been pretty inactive lately but life has been pretty busy. It’s somewhat related, but anyone else excited about the Black Rock Shooter anime? I think it’s pretty cool that Miku recently had her first “live” concert at Animelo and that they’re making an anime semi-based on a song that she sings. I know Black Rock Shooter isn’t Miku but I thought it relevant to mention since it’s a popular Miku song. Looking forward to next month’s (hopefully it’s not delayed) World is Mine Miku figure!
