August Loot/New Room
It's been a while since my last post. My family and I moved house a month ago, so I haven't had the 'net for a while (how I'm still sane is beyond me...). It finally appeared yesterday, so I can now post up everything I've bought during the time I was offline. I'm also including some pics of how everything is set up now.
New Stuff:
Figma Isayama Yomi
Figma Black Rock Shooter
Jun Planning Revy
Formation Arts Chrono Trigger Set
Display Cabinet ^_^
3 Bookcases
One of the new bookcases I've bought. I'm using it mainly for my gashapon/trading figures.
A nice mixture of figures on top of the bookcase. So glad I was finally to buy that Revy figure. I saw it listed on MyFigureCollection and pounced straight away. She's the 2nd most expensive figure I've bought to-date (£60), but she was worth it. ^_^
One Piece collection. I plan to add more to it eventually.
Final Fantasy collection. I have my doubts about the larger Trading Arts figures being real, but I don't really mind that much.
Mixture of trading figures from Dragonball Z, Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note. There's also a small Prey figurine that came free with the copy I bought from Gameplay a while back.
Another mixed shelf featuring characters from Steamboy, Evangelion, Gintama, Genshiken, School Rumble, Detroit Metal City and Cromartie High School. Also pictured is a figure of Jason from the 'Jason and the Argonauts' game (one of the random prizes from my university's Gamer Quiz in the summer)
My two other bookcases. DVDs to the left, games to the right.
Ash, Jojo and Star Platinum guarding their respective DVDs.
Really happy with the Chrono Trigger set. I like how they're based on old art used for the game.
...MY DISPLAY CABINET! ^_^ With my new room being much larger than my old one, I finally had the room for one. Wasn't cheap (£92), but I'm really happy with it.
Some random stuff from the Japan trip earlier this year (along with a pile of Yen which I'll be taking with me next August).
Lucky Star shelf. Konami ftw!
Mixed shelf with Ein, Kagura and Yomi (Kagomi?) and Reika.
Black Rock Shooter. On her own at the moment, but Dead Master will be joining her soon.
Haruhi shelf. Bit crowded already ^_^;;
Marisa. Sakuya will be joining her soon (and Reimu when I get round to buying her).
It's the 'Mesousa and Kami-on-a-can' set-up again. :D
Rabu~
So...when can I get back the Nendoroids I lent you? :3
XD, I'm still actively looking for one for you to buy. Least I can do.
its h konata holy grail!!!!!
One of my favourite figmas. I picked it up relatively cheap, which was a bonus. I originally had her posing with Haruhi, but then Black Rock Shooter came along...XD I had to move around some of the figmas.
your too damn luck dude seriously i can't even remember if that came with a gam or if it was jus a random special wonfest release
It was a Wonfes 2008 exclusive.
By like awesome luck I managed to pick her up too at an expo, paid £60 for her, but i dont care, shes's so worth it.
HAIL TO THE KING BABY
My personal favourite is "Groovy!" XD I love the Evil Dead series (well, 2 and AoD more than the first). I also own two of the games (even if they aren't that good).
now that is pure fandom. never had the chance to play em but i know wat u mean.
My only regret is paying £30 for the first game (Hail to the King on the PS1). I bought it when it first came out, hence the price. Me and my brother completed in the same day...-_- Ash's funny one-liners kind of made up for it, but still... As for the sequel, the gameplay wasn't that bad, but long unskippable FMV sequences combined with rare save points forced me to give up on it eventually. I didn't pay that much for it, so I didn't really mind.
Still need to get the third game. It's probably really cheap now.
Mechazawa!?...what a soothing voice he has.
Mechazawa is awesome. :D Shame it doesn't look like Volumes 13-17 of Cromartie will ever be released in the West. ;_;
Ohh i've not read the manga, i just happened across the DVD boxed set in my local HMV
an AWESOME find if i may say so myself.
Nice looking little figurine
One of the first I ever bought. ^_^ I bought it last September when I went to London for the first time.
Nice!
The models are pretty detailed considering how cheap they were. I'm a big fan of the Chrono games, so I pre-ordered as soon as they were available. :D
looks great! every time I save money to get one..i blow it all on figures & have to resave. I can't break the cycle ;.;
I'm so impressed with the display cabinet that I'm going to get another one at some point. I'm going to need one sooner than later anyway...XD
As for your saving problem, you could try asking someone else to hold onto a bit of your money. That way, you won't physically have the money and you'll be less likely to spend it. Give it a try. :D
I got one of these back in the day. but it ended up leaning horribly. and i think my cat ate his glasses. its nice to see some are still in decent condition out there.
I bought it second-hand from a seller on MyFigureCollection. Didn't come boxed, but it was in good condition. It was a bit fiddly to set-up, mind (gun kept on falling out of his hands for one). I'm glad I have a figure of him, though. He's my favourite anime character.
much better then previous arangement :)
I agree. :D That shelf I had in the old house ended up being incredibly crowded and a lot of the figmas were hiding behind other figmas. In fact, I'm happy with the way my figures are being displayed in general. The extra space in my new room has really helped.
Arm looks broken XD
Maybe that's why she looks so distressed...XD Thanks for pointing that out. Might adjust it a bit.
It might just be the angle of the photo.
I dunno, I'm always a priss when it comes to posing figmas just perfectly.
Don't worry, I can relate to perfectionism. XD I have to have some things just right or it distracts me. Maybe not to the extent of Death the Kid (extreme perfectionism), but it bugs me.
nice loots nyah :3 i recommend you get a revoltech vash nyah >________<
Well, I do plan on buying more Revoltechs eventually (I only have Date Masamune, at the moment). Vash and Wolfwood will probably be among the first on my list. :D
nyaha^^ you won't regret them nyah
"All we wanna do is eat your brains. We're not unreasonable; no one's going to eat your eyes."
Heh. Maybe on Halloween all us Figma owners should put our Figmas at brain-munching readiness just like this!
XD, sounds like a good idea. I think it would work well with the figmas that have evil or dazed faces.
Oh my. Don't come across many Everton fans ^^;
Go Tim Howard!! (only for U.S. tho xP)
I have more Everton stuff scattered across the room. I've always supported them. ^_^ Tim Howard is a key player for them. He rarely lets the team down.
Talking of American players, I'm still hoping Landon Donovan will return one day. He really impressed me during the few games he had whilst he was on loan. It looks as though he wants to return himself, which is a good sign. :D
Omg Pani Poni Dash!
Where did you get these?
I bought it from a seller on a site called Rakuten. In fact, Chris (one of my friends and the guy who posted the first comment) pointed it out to me as he knew I was after it. It's a very rare Nendoroid, so I had to pay about £60 (and a bit more thanks to customs -_-). I think it was worth it, though. :D
As for availability, I haven't seen it on Rakuten since. It does appear on eBay now and again, but it's usually £100+!
Lucky xD
I'l try looking for it. Thanks!~ ^^
Omg you got all parts.
Yep :D My favourite one is Evil Dead 2. It was the first one I watched and I found it hilarious.
I know what you meant, i got only evil dead 2, 1,3 is almost impossible to get in my country
nice pose :D
