Original post over on my blog.
Top of the Ayanami Rei Shrine
A view from the bathroom adjacent to my room.
A blocked off Detolf...
Newly acquired Louise by Kotobukiya... It's for a Kotobukiya book, after all ^_^
That stack looks taller than before o_0
The Ayanami Rei Shrine... with the new Kotobukiya Crimson Lolita Rei ^_^
The Lunamaria shelf along with others.
Me, myself and I... surrounded by my Cospa shirts. It's summer, so not really a good idea to wear a jacket indoors, even if it is at night...
omg I see floor this time ^^; LOL
yes it's a little, little bit tidier =P
You must be seeing things... I didn't update that photo yet. Right now it's filled with stuff from AB and AE ^^;;;
Ok... now I see the real LightningSabre room
quite a mess, but it's an awesome mess XD
you read shugo chara too? i love the series ^^ im on volume 9 chapter 45 what about you?
I'm not sure where I am, I'm on whatever volume Del Rey released last ^^; Must've been 6 maybe?
head hurts abit trying to orientate some to potrait view ^^;
should change some to portrait :3
I think you meant all of them... ^^;
It's portrait on my side... They changed back to landscape when I upload them >_<
Sorry - I turned off rotation so it should be OK now. Can you re-upload?
It was also on my side... I rotated them on Photoshop but they still don't upload right. It's all good now :D
The stacks of manga is quite a sight. You need a Rei Dollfie to complete the Ayanami shrine.
LOL! Where am I gonna put that Dollfie XD
She can stand right where your shrine is, you just needed some fixture to allow your stack figures up to save on real estate. You know, double deck your figures.
Hmm yes, I ought to do that... Ok, now where do I get the money to get the Dollfie :P I will be accepting donations ^_~
Tsk tsk, details! It's all about the Dollfie!
Oh wow...Somehow I feel both afraid and envious at these pictures... :P
I had to look away LS...my ocd was making me twitch XD
Get rid of the bed and just make every inch of wallspace a bookshelf ^^
ROFL! Don't worry, I will be starting my major cleanup next week XD Hopefully I won't be too lazy about it :P
~Please don't say you were lazy, Datte honto wa crazy~
I'm lazy AND crazy!
Only one question: What's that Yoko oppai mousepad doing on your pillow? Hmmmm?
She's about to make out with Sakura who's beside her?
Too awesome. I take it that you only have a small path for you to walk around. ^^;
At the moment I only have 2 or 3 steps to reach my bed... the path that was there is not there anymore. It's covered by recent purchases from the last conventions ^^;;;
Messy!!!!!!!
It's still one heck of a room...
I just wonder...how you move around in that room...
So many figures...
If the photo request was announced after I came back from Japan...I'll have more figures in my room and more otaku goodies...
Messy indeed >_<
How do I move around in that room? I don't >.> Today I was trying to put that a new Rei figure on the shrine, but I had to go around through my brother's room and through the shared bathroom to put it there because the path that used to be there has been blocked!
I can't imagine how much more you'll have in your room when you get back from Japan XD
Gosh, you have so many figures and many still in boxes. I guess how they turn out most of the time when you start collecting alot. But man, what I want to know is what do you do for a living and how do you store all that, or do you just leave it out?
Pseudo-graphic designer... which means I make advertisements, but not really designing them much. Hmm... How do I store it? This is pretty much a permanent place for them until I can clean my room ^^; The empty boxes go in the crawlspace in the house.
You guys are incredible #_@
I'll have to torture my wallet even more now~
LoL noooo don't do that XD I'm in despair trying to pay all this. I don't want this on anyone else ^^;
We've a few things in common!
1. We both have little sections in our collection dedicated to Rei.
2. We both have too many boxes to deal with.
3. We've got the same laptop. ^^
But wow...I think you need to work out some storage plan of some sort or else in an emergency your goods may pile down on top of you and crush you in your sleep. But with those dakimakura, it would be a happy death.
1. Rei almighty!
2. The boxes go in the crawlspace in the house when I take the figures out lol.
3. I should really make good use of this tablet on the laptop.
The manga stack that you see here has actually fallen twice. Once on my feet when I was about to sleep the other blocked the door and I almost couldn't get in ^^;; So I restacked the pile and made them into 3 medium towers instead of one HUGE tower XD
I see a desperated spider-man hiding on the top of the stack o' figures. Maybe trying to not get drown or maybe to not being thrown away. Poor thing.... lol
** best dakimakura ever spotted -> Mou-chan =3 **
Spidey's fighting them off one-by-one XD I really like this Spider-Man though, magnetic wall-crawling action FTW!
Mou-chan fan, yay! *high five*
*twitches* That Detolf is wasted on you. What's with the plastic bag on the floor, when all you've got in are boxes? At least stacked boxes show what you have. You'll get back problems typing with the laptop there. For goodness sake, you've got figures from the same series scattered in different places. Speakers are useless if you're just going to cover the front with books. And speaking of books, can't you at least even out the stacks so they don't precariously tower over each other? And, and-----bbzz--z-zz-z-zzzzzzzz....
;)
LOL ok ok! I'm gonna clean them up soon! SHEESH!
And make sure to wear a mask! All that dust flying around will give you cancer! Why, your old grandpaw...
*prostrates in front of Rei's shrine* We are not worthy of your holy presence!
....is that a patapon strap?? man, if I ever go in your room, I'm so making everything fall down, and while you're weeping in despair, I will get your Nami, your figmas, your Reis, your... your *brain breakdown*
Are there even room in front of the Rei Shrine? ^^;;;
Yep, Patapon strap... LoL "your everything"? XD
Haha, really neat (not literally)!
My mum would murder me if my room was in this state XD
Suggoi!! i see some rei collection out!!! Rei is a GOD!!! Nicely nice room..
Epic collection is epic.
My parents would kill me if they saw my room like that OTL
Amazing collection^^ but...SO MANY FIGURES STILL IN THEIR BOXES! O.O and How do you move around in all that? Or do you have helicopter legs like your Nend. Yoshiko Miyafuji? ^^
Or maybe I'm the size of a Nendoroid XD
Lightning is intangible
Oh wow, Rei Ayanami shrine and piles and piles of manga!
oO. the only space i can see is on the ceiling. but i might be mistaken.
Ooooh that's about right :P
I wanna look for Rei in party dress but I can't find it anywhere, maybe its discontinued back few years before realized I'm an otaku.
It is a few years old now, but occasionally there's someone selling it somewhere. Tried eBay yet?
not yet, will try to find it~~~
Wow you really like Rei! ^^
That I do ^_^
Nyaa~ soo many Ayanami Rei. You have a great room!! I really really like your Ryomou dakimakura!! I'm thinking of getting one myself (^^)
Ahaha ya so many Rei, and liking Ryomou is because of Rei as well XD Tis a sekshi dakimakura indeed ^_^
seems like your room is packed with loots and goodies =D
goodie! Indonesian? me,too!
were chasing Saber Lily GSC, now....
Yep yep, but I've been in Canada longer than I've been in Indonesia XD
Got my Saber Lily now though ^^
hoho lucky you!! i was considering to buy the figma or the PVC instead...
Figma's quite pricey now though. It'd be awesome if you got one at a decent price! There's a few new Saber Lily's to come so you'll have your chances :D
Atau lebih gampang kalo ngomong Bahasa? Figma rada mahal sekarang. Keren banget kalo kau ketemu yang harganya cukup murah! Ada banya Saber Lily yang akan keluar tahun ini sih, jadinya banyak kesempatan buat dapet satu :D
can i get that kirby? :D
It's a rare item now, but there are other Kirbies out there ^^
Looking at your items *envies* >.>
wooow thats alot of figures T___T wish my collection was like that ^^
omg.. only god knows if something happens to all of these.. anyway, there's lot of stuff you know?
i am envy to you~
I really can't imagine what'll happen to it lol. I suppose I might have more room if it does ^^;
Reeeeech guy, if you have stuff that you don't want to anymore, my mailbox is always open. hahahaha! xD by the way you're room is messier than mine. xDDD I can't even see the floor.
LoL not rich ^^; More like, spend-all-my-money-from-my-paycheck-for-this-stuff thing... Oh ya, I'll send stuff to your open mailbox as long as your wallet is open as well, lol!
But seriously... This mess is a major problem >_< I can't walk in there!
