Hello Kitty is so cute and grown-up! ^o^ Who says guys can't have their Hello Kitty days? Btw, is she meant to be called Rio-san? 'Cause that's just such a cute play on "Sanrio!" She's definitely perkier than Luna's and Artemis' (of Sailormoon fame)...

I thought I'd never be able to get a Fate/Extra Saber, given most of her figures are either expensive or comes bundled with a console game. Imagine my surprise when I found this Sega prize toy in a second-hand shop! Got her for only 1,500yen! And des...

I received my Hachikuji Mayoi figma today, so me and my girlfriend decided to take a few pics of her. We really enjoyed watching Bakemonogatari together, so we both love her. I bought some sweet cakes for her too, so she's kinda expressing her joy th...

Many weeks back, I received my RAH Mari from Amazon.jp. However, I discovered a defect (neck silicon was loose) after unboxing her and had to ship her back for a replacement. Although the replacement was immediately sent to me within a week or two, I...

My little nyan-doroid Kuroneko quietly padded out of her box and into my shelf, all smug and happy with herself. She's my first Nendoroid... or rather, she's my fourth, but she's the first one to escape her litter box. ^_^ I took only a couple of qui...

My amazonian pre-order just arrived today from Amazon.jp! :P She was an instant-get when I saw the preivew; and WOW, is she gorgeous!!! O_O For me, she is by far the best among Kotobukiya's bishoujo line of figurines - I feel the the Japanese anime-l...

Happy Holidays to all! It's a little late in the holiday season for a sale, but in case anyone is interested, I'm selling a few figurines over at eBay.ph. Unfortunately, due to payment and shipping constraints, I'm only opening them to buyers in the...

After a long wait, Aisaka Taiga finally arrived! This is my first time to pre-order and pay for a figure (I always pay COD), and my first time to order from a magazine. I was afraid I might not receive her, (because I missed some instruction or somet...

To Aru Kagaku Railgun is one the best anime I've finished this year! I love how the show focused on each character's lives and motivations, and with those characters subtly teach how "personal reality" shapes who we are, what we can do, and who we ca...

Just a month after I posted my Bayonetta figurine, another video game heroine arrives at my doorstep! This time around, it's the lovely and delectable Momohime from Muramasa: The Demon Blade (another video game I have never played). I bought Momohim...

Received my Bayonetta preorder 2 weeks ago, unpacked and took some pics 1 week ago, and posted today! Whew! It sure takes a lot of effort. Hahaha :P Too much work and worries! Good thing I don't have any game consoles, otherwise I might add "too much...

Nothing better to do today so I took pics of my favorite Nia figurine. ^^ I got the chibi Nia last week with the little ones from Bakamonogatari. So cute! Bouts of overtime worked wonders at loosening my grip on my wallet. :P And yeah, sorry for the...

Just wanted to share some old pics of the puchi (petite) eva figures I got 3 months back from Ichiban Kuji. I was aiming to get one of the top 3 prizes, but it would seem I was destined to just keep getting petites. (^^; It's a good thing also that I...

こんにちは！ My much-awaited Frauline Mari Illustrious arrived a week ago, but I did not get the chance to open her due to work, work, work. ^_^; Here are some pics of the new Eva femme fatale. I'm beginning to like her character more and more ever s...

Just decided to take some quick pics of the Eva 02 I got from Ichiban Kuji some time back. Also received my delivery of lovely Nanael from Amazon.jp. (^o^ So we got an Eva and an angel!

Been feeling sick this past few days. Although the medicine has been doing a good job, I nonetheless feel a little tired lately. But not too tired as not to buy any anime figurines. In fact, with everything so down, the anime figurines seem inevitabl...

Here's my amateur attempt to create a mascot/character. (^w^' No, I'm not an illustrator, just an anime fan who likes to draw... for fun, if nothing else. This is also my first time to seriously draw something using software (Gimp). Feedback is appr...

Note: I modified my post since I just remembered I opened her on Christmas day, not received. (^^; Sorry. --- My first Hatsune Miku figure arrived the night I got home from the hospital! ^^ Thanks to Amazon.jp and Sagawa delivery for getting her deli...

My Figma Saber (casual clothes) arrived last week from Amazon.jp! She's beautiful, as expected. ^^ She looks so nice and sweet without her armor!

Last night, as I was checking out a toy section in Machida, a sale tag caught my attention. So I went to investigate to discover, to my surprise, that the item on sale was a large Rena Sayers figure! Being a big fan of the Mai-Hime/Otome series, I co...

Hi, All! Just posting some fairly recent photos of my Mikuru figurine. The tray and cups are detachable. She also comes with a 'fridge, but didn't include it in the photos. Enjoy!

Unlike where I came from, canned coffee is very popular here in Japan. Some are pretty good too. I drink at least one can a day, and already have my own personal preferences when it comes to brand. (But I did learn that some part of the taste prefere...

It was a tiring Saturday office transfer day yesterday. We went to the office the usual time, and started moving only in the afternoon. We ended late in the night since we were required to setup our PCs and targets before going home. Today, I just st...

Today, I unboxed one of my recent loots - Frauline Nagato Yuki. The figure has so many issues, I don't know where to start. T.T I've read the reviews, even the Japanese ones, but I didn't expect it to be *this* bad. I mean, it's not zero quality cont...
